Rainforest Wellness Retreat on Hawaii's Hāmākua Coast

Days here start in fresh water and end under a wide open sky. The estate sits on the Hāmākua Coast, the green, wet side of Hawaiʻi Island, surrounded by rainforest with the ocean in view. Guests swim in private spring-fed waterfalls on the property and can use the hydrotherapy circuit — cold plunge, sauna, steam room and hot tub — between activities. There is an outdoor fitness space and dedicated yoga areas on site.

What you actually do each day depends on the group and the programme booked. The property hosts intimate wellness retreats, masterminds, family gatherings and special events, with planning support available. Wellness coaching, massage and bodywork, and custom retreat programming can be arranged depending on availability and group needs. Chef service is coordinated in advance, with meal planning and locally sourced menus.

The estate is built for gathering: generous shared spaces, a chef kitchen, and bright private rooms with ocean-view lanais. It is a home base rather than a hotel, so groups tend to eat together, sit together in the evenings and use the grounds as their own.

Off-property, the retreat team arranges waterfall excursions, Mauna Kea experiences, beach trips, hiking, horseback riding, ATV tours and other island adventures. Hilo is close by for supplies and exploring. Exact arrival details are given to confirmed guests.

The property has been featured in Travel + Leisure, Condé Nast Traveler, Well+Good, Yoga Journal, Forbes and Mindful. Guest reviews describe it as peaceful and restorative, with the private nature and gathering spaces singled out by group hosts.

Pricing, inclusions and availability are confirmed in a personal proposal after a planning inquiry. Share your preferred dates, group size and what you have in mind, and the team shapes a room and gathering plan, wellness and chef options, and island experiences around it.
