Lot #15 – At Home In Hawaii

Experience true Hawaiian spirit and the ultimate in relaxation with a week at this magnificent and secluded home on the Big Island of Hawaii. The luxury vacation estate is aptly named “Hale Pau Hana,” which roughly translates as “The House to Go to When Work Is Done.” And is it ever that. Nestled on slightly less than an acre of land at the famous Mauna Kea Resort, this perfect island retreat boasts spectacular ocean views from every room. You won’t ever want to leave.

First, the house. Three pavilions connected by open breezeways house five exquisite bedrooms. Lush Hawaiian gardens and water features surround the entire home, an architectural masterpiece. The living room, which is completely open to the warm, tropical Hawaiian air, is beautifully furnished and decorated with gorgeous artwork and Asian antiques. Enjoy your favorite tropical drinks at the poolside bar or lounge in the hot tub tucked just behind the waterfall at the far end of the pool. On the off chance you feel like leaving this palatial abode, you will find yourselves only minutes from The Mauna Kea Resort and use of all its amenities, including access to the famous white sand beach, massive pool, state-of-the-art health club, and tennis courts galore. Additionally, you will enjoy discounted rates at the world-famous Robert Trent Jones golf course.

Next, the dinner. Your group will be treated to a sumptuous dinner prepared by local chef, Robin Dylan. Her innovative dishes are diverse and rich in the many cultures of Hawaii. Only the finest ingredients and freshest vegetables, which come from local farmers, will find their way into the kitchen and onto your plate for an unforgettable meal.

Finally, the cruise. Spend one of your glorious days in Mauna Kea out on the water on a charter sailing cruise. “Maile,” an elegant 50-foot Gulfstar Sloop, which has been beautifully renovated and restored, will take you on an ocean tour of the Big Island. Pack a picnic and discover hidden spots, returning just in time to enjoy the sunset from the deck of this beautiful boat.

Not a bad way to spend a week, wouldn’t you say?
