Wedding Introduction
The Perfect Place for Weddings and Romance
Hawaii Island Retreat inspires romance in the beauty of an elegant and natural setting. Our 50 acres of pristine ocean-view groves and intimate valley settings offer inspiring venues for your Hawaiian wedding, vow renewal, or Big Island honeymoons. Located in picturesque North Kohala on Hawaii Island, our sacred and historic Hawaiian grounds are filled with mana (spiritual energy) to bless your special day. Our wedding planner can arrange all the wedding details.
"I don’t know what was more magical during the ceremony, whales breaching or the double rainbow. Thank you for handling all the wedding details. Thank you for such a wonderous time.”
Elegant Rooms in a Luxury Eco-Boutique Hotel
Our green boutique hotel features 9 spacious guest rooms, designed with weddings in mind. Each offers large bathrooms containing soaking tubs big enough for two, separate showers and other couples amenities. The oceanfront rooms and the Golden Penthouse Honeymoon Suite have a glorious view of the ocean.
Designed with gracious hospitality in mind, our boutique hotel also offers star-lit balconies, garden courtyards, an open-air dining room, and spacious outdoor lanais for wedding receptions and ceremonies alike.

Creative and Personal Wedding Planning
At Hawaii Island Retreat we appreciate how special this day is for you, your family, and guests. Our wedding coordinator will make sure your wishes and dreams become a part of your Wedding Celebration. Let us take care of all your arrangements for an effortless and joyful wedding.
We can arrange for the wedding ceremony of your choice: with ministers or priests; with a traditional Hawaiian ceremony with chanting; or with a contemporary wedding. We will make arrangement for flowers, music, wedding cake and entertainment. Our full-service kitchen can cater your wedding at any level of service.
All the Extras, Hawaiian-Style
May we suggest an evening of Hawaiian music and hula perhaps for the rehearsal dinner? We would love to arrange for nature adventures for you. We also have a delightful golf course a few minutes away. There is so much to do in Kohala, and wedding gatherings are perfect for uniting families.
Earth-friendly and Nature-inspired
The sacred land of Ahu Pohaku Ho'omaluhia inspires our dedication to living and celebrating our lives in a conscious, earth-honoring way. Our boutique hotel and eco-spa are designed and built to be in complete harmony with nature and the spirit of this place.
It is green living at its finest, and because of that, an inspirational location for life's most important commitments.
"What a spectacular place - we had a wonderful, wonderful time! We could not have found a better place to spend our honeymoon and start our lives together."
