Mauna Kea Pending / Contingent Properties

Set within the iconic 1,839-acre Mauna Kea Resort on the Kohala Coast, the Mauna Kea Residences offer a range of luxury two- to seven-bedroom residences. Owners can join the Club at Mauna Kea, which allows access to the resort’s two white sand beaches as well as the many resort and hotel amenities, including the swimming pools, fitness centers, Seaside Tennis Club, two championship golf courses, spa, and dining. The resort offers a range of real estate options, including homes, townhomes, condominiums, and vacant land, with the lowest density of any other resort on the Kohala Coast.

Hula fans won’t want to miss the activities and excitement generated by the annual Merrie Monarch Hula Festival, scheduled for April 5 to 11 in Hilo at the Afook Chinen Civic Auditorium and surrounding area. The central purpose of the Festival is the perpetuation, preservation, and promotion of the art of hula and the Hawaiian culture. Tickets for the hula competition are very limited, so it’s doubtful you can purchase any now. However, the competition can be viewed live Thursday, April 9 through Saturday, April 11, on local channel K5. Hilo is a hotbed of arts and crafts fairs during the festival, great for supporting Hawai`i’s artisans. The fairs take place at the auditorium and Butler Building, Wednesday, April 8 to Friday, April 10, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday, April 11, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is free. Find more information at merriemonarch.com. The Hawaiʻi Island Chamber of Commerce began the festival in 1963, and the private Merrie Monarch Festival community organization took on the responsibilities of running the event five years later.
