Welcome to Kalani! | Kalani Oceanside Retreat - Big Island, Hawaii
Culinary Festival Special
Join us for the farm-to-fork focused Puna Culinary Festival! Book one of our modern lofts or cottages during the festival, and we’ll include our full culinary immersion package (a $250 value.)
Please use the code FARM2FORK when booking.
Life is exuberant on Kalani’s 120 acres of organic agriculture, preserved heritage, and retreat accommodations. Exuberant in fiery lava, invigorating ocean, tropical foliage, and exuberant too with people celebrating the spirit of aloha.
Only five miles away you'll find the spectacular Volcanoes National Park, where the lava flows into the sea. We are blessed to be upwind, so we have no vog (volcanic smog) here, just the sweet, clean air of the Northeast Trades coming across thousands of miles of Pacific Ocean, considered to be the cleanest air on earth.
Visit our tropical conservation coast and center yourself at the haven Shiva Rea calls "one of the most potent and nurturing retreat centers in the world."
In addition to our world-class workshops and edu-vacations, other ways to experience Kalani include our award-winning volunteer and sabbatical programs, visiting as a contributing guest, staying with us as an artist in residence, or becoming the steward of a Kalani cottage.
