Kohala Coast Shopping
    The Shops at Mauna Lani are located in the heart of the Kohala Coast, one of the world’s leading resort and residential destinations. The Mauna Lani Resort is a 3,200 acre development which includes two luxury hotels situated along 3 miles of shoreline, bordered by 800 year old fish ponds and surrounded by lush tropical landscaping. Whether you are trying to reach the Mauna Lani Bay Hotel and Bungalows or the Fairmont Orchid, you must pass directly in front of The Shops At Mauna Lani. Just five minutes away lies the Waikoloa Beach Resort which includes two more large hotels, the Hilton Waikoloa Village and the Waikoloa Beach Marriott. There are over 2,600 rooms in the luxury hotels, more than 2,200 residential units already completed and occupied and an additional 5,000 under active development or in the planning stages in just a 3 mile radius. A new development planned just 10 miles east of The Shops in Waikoloa Village will add 3,500 residences over the next 5 years. The first 700 are currently under construction. Just 15 minutes to the south lie two more exclusive resorts and even more exclusive residential communities. The Four Seasons Hualalai and The Kona Village Resort along with the Hualalai and Kukio residential communities are among the newest and most affluent in Hawaii with over 1,100 rooms and residences. Despite the incredible growth of the Kohala community during the last 10 years, there is still only one retail center for the entire area. Residents and hotel guests have been clamoring for years for expanded restaurant and shopping offerings on the Kohala Coast. The Shops at Mauna Lani promises to become an important destination for residents and visitors alike with recognized national brand tenants including Tommy Bahamas, Ruth Chris Steakhouse and Starbucks. The Shops also features distinctive local retailers, jewelers and art galleries. In addition, The Shops will boast the first of its kind grocery store on the Island modeled closely on the successful operations on the mainland like The Fresh Market and Whole Foods. It will provide a unique atmosphere for family, friends, neighbors and visitors alike to find products they can savor and appreciate. With no real grocery store along the Kohala Coast, this grocery will provide not only a needed amenity, but a delightful shopping experience that is out of the ordinary and surpasses expectations at each visit. From freshly baked breads to wonderful prepared foods they will offer top quality products at reasonable prices and provide great customer service. | ||||||
