Kailua-Kona

Kailua-Kona occupies a lava-built coastal strip on the western shore of Hawaiʻi Island, in the Hawaiian archipelago. Set below the slopes of Hualālai, the town faces the Pacific on the island’s drier Kona coast, where dark volcanic rock meets clear bays. Kailua-Kona was an important residence of King Kamehameha I; Ahuʻena Heiau, beside Kamakahonu Bay, recalls this early Kingdom of Hawaiʻi history. Nearby Huliheʻe Palace, built in 1838 as a vacation home for Hawaiian royalty, is another landmark on Aliʻi Drive. The uplands behind town are known worldwide for Kona coffee.
