Hale Punana: Your Nest in the Kona Cloud Forest
Nestled in the heart of the enchanted Kona Cloud Forest Sanctuary, Hale Punana—“The Nest” in Hawaiian—is an elevated jungle haven designed for groups ready to drop in, reconnect, and transform.
This private 5-bedroom retreat sleeps and seats 10, making it the perfect size for gatherings, retreats, creative celebrations, or families seeking a unique forest escape.
A Home Designed for Connection
Inside, you’ll find:
- A fully equipped kitchen centered around a handcrafted monkey pod table that seats 10—ideal for long conversations and shared meals.
- Multiple cozy gathering spaces— from a large sectional sofa for group circles and journaling, to open floor space for stretching, games, or unwinding.
- WiFi and a washer/dryer, making your stay comfortable and connected.
- 5 bedrooms and 9 beds offering versatile options for your entire group!
While the home does not have air conditioning, it stays naturally cool year-round at 3,000 ft elevation—about 10–12 degrees cooler than the coastline. For crisp mornings, cozy up with the wood-burning fireplace or space heaters.
Immersed in the Forest
Hale Punana is just steps away from the Kona Cloud Forest Sanctuary, where guests can join guided forest walks, yoga, sound baths, and immersive wellness experiences. Wake up to lush greenery, nearby hiking trails, or enjoy fresh brews and coffee tours at Mountain Thunder Coffee just down the road.
And when you’re ready to explore beyond the forest, you’re only:
- 12 minutes from Kona Airport
- 20 minutes from Kailua-Kona town and beaches
- Close to coffee farms, waterfalls, and scenic hikes
