Responsibility & Sustainability

Our Season of Renewal started with the relocation of our beloved 'Ulu (breadfruit) tree. This special tree, believed to be planted during the hotel's original construction, is part of Rockefeller's vision of creating a modern space that blends with nature's elements.

The relocation of this iconic tree was done with careful planning and marks the first step in developing our resort's citrus, vegetable and herb garden that will provide our chefs and restaurants with fresh ingredients.

We invite you to witness this once-in-a-lifetime experience by watching the video below. During your stay at the hotel, be sure to visit the 'Ulu tree in our newly established 'Chef's Garden' along with an impressive variety of various vegetation, at the North End of the resort, directly in front of the Seaside Tennis Club.

Discovery Garden

A whimsical, tranquil sanctuary surrounded by the natural flora and native beauty of Hawaii Island nestled at Mauna Kea Beach Hotel. The garden was designed to spark a sense of wonder for both keiki and adults. Travel across the rope bridge, venture through winding walking paths in the dense foliage, and uncover quiet shaded nooks to take in the beauty.
