Description

Enjoy a week in our contemporary version of a Bali Temple perched on the edge of an old lava flow situated on six acres of tropical privacy beautifully landscaped with legacy trees: six varieties of palms, an Australian flame tree (a special treat for August visitors), native ohias and halas, trees sacred to the Hawaiians.

Mahi is Hawaiian for farm or a placing of growing and making. Oli means pleasure. Say something twice in Hawaiian, and you indicate and so much more. Mahi Oli’Oli translates as the place of making abundant pleasure.

Located 21 miles south of Hilo Airport in the Puna district, is a special place for the fun and play of vacation, the rest and reflection of retreat, the joy and love of a special ceremony, and the sacred energy for a personal journey. It is the starting point and end place for adventuring, discovering, exploring inner life as well as the life of the Big Island of Hawaii.
