Life at Mauna Lani Terraces
What defines life at Mauna Lani Terraces is the balance between luxury and authenticity. Mornings begin with coffee on a private lanai as sea turtles glide through the historic fishponds below.

Evenings often conclude with sunset views over the water before a short stroll to CanoeHouse or another of the resort’s celebrated dining experiences. It is a lifestyle shaped by nature, culture, and thoughtful design.
