Waikoloa Beach Marriott Resort & Spa

About Waikoloa Beach Marriott Resort & Spa

The Kohala Coast has always been the Big Island's gold coast for golf, and Waikoloa Beach Marriott Resort & Spa is planted right at the center of it. The resort fronts Anaeho'omalu Bay, a palm-lined crescent of white sand where the water stays calm enough for kayaking, paddleboarding and sunset sails year-round. Championship golf is walkable from the lobby, and two luxury outdoor shopping centers are just as close. But what sets this stretch of coastline apart is the layer of history underfoot. Ancient Hawaiian fishponds still line the shore behind the beach, and a petroglyph preserve with thousands of stone carvings is a short walk along the King's Trail. The resort boasts island-inspired guest rooms, a heated infinity pool overlooking the ocean, a children's pool with a waterslide, and a full-service spa for the inevitable post-round recovery. Dining leans local, with Pacific Rim plates and Kona coffee served on open-air lanais. It's a full-service beach resort on one of the sunniest coastlines in Hawaii, with serious golf holding the whole trip together.

Worth Traveling For

Tee Off in Style

Few stretches of Hawaii pack as much championship golf into one corridor as this one, and the courses within reach of the resort take full advantage of the landscape. Expect fairways carved through ancient lava fields, shimmering lakes that come into play when you least want them to and ocean views that can genuinely distract you mid-swing. Coastal layouts bring trade winds and salt air into the equation, while inland tracks climb into cooler elevations with volcano panoramas. Multiple nine-hole loops let you mix and match your round, so repeat play never gets stale. When the clubs go back in the bag, Mandara Spa blends Balinese and Hawaiian treatments for post-round recovery. The bay out front is a playground for paddleboarding, snorkeling and catamaran cruises. And the petroglyph trails that wind through the resort grounds give you a reason to lace up walking shoes before dinner.

Accommodations

Every guest room is designed with a modern island aesthetic that feels clean without being generic. Private lanais come standard, and the views range from tropical garden and pool scenes to wide-open ocean panoramas over Anaeho'omalu Bay and the Kohala mountains beyond. For a more secluded stay, the Na Hale wing puts you closest to the oceanfront with upgraded furnishings and a quieter atmosphere suited to couples or small groups. Suites offer additional living space for families who need room to spread out. The resort is comfortable, well-designed and built around the view.
