The Spirit of Aloha at Kalani Oceanside Retreat

Kalani Oceanside Resort, longtime OPEN EXCHANGE lister, can be found in our Retreats category.

Located on the lush, tropical southeast coast of Hawaii, the Aloha State's "Big Island," Kalani celebrates nature, culture, and wellness with adventures, wellness treatments, workshops, delicious healthful cuisine and comfortable accommodations.

A perfect retreat for both individuals and groups, a stay at Kalani celebrates nature on Kalani's own 120 acres landscaped with native vegetation. Nearby is the spectacular Puna coast with its cliffs and black sand beach for swimming and snorkeling, whales, dolphins, geothermal springs, lava tubes, and natural steam baths. Join a lava trek to watch an active lava flow down the mountain and into the ocean, or adventure to nearby waterfalls and pools.

Shiva Rea states, "Kalani is one of the most potent and nurturing retreat centers in the world as it is so close to where Pele's lava flows into the ocean – where new Earth is actually being created. This rare and sacred connection to the relative power of life – combined with the most beautiful grounds, wonderful staff, inspiring yoga room, tropical cuisine, amazing bodywork and beach within walking distance – make Kalani a pilgrimage center for yoga."

Throughout the year Kalani offers numerous workshops from renowned yoga teachers, as well as its own schedule of workshops and daily yoga and dance/movement classes. Our wellness center provides bodywork & massage therapies including Hawaiian Lomilomi, Hot Stones, Reiki, Cranio-sacral, Watsu and Thai massage. Relax in the Olympic-size pool, sauna, and hot tubs. Learn more about Hawaiian culture through hula and other activities.

Kalani is more than just a retreat, it is a vibrant community of guests, volunteers, staff, and people on the Puna Coast.
