Mauna Kea Golf Course's Hole #3

Original Third Tee

The Original Third Tee on the world famous Mauna Kea Golf Course is one of the most popular wedding venues at Mauna Kea Beach Hotel. This historic back tee box is situated high on an ancient lava bluff among coconut palms and sculpted fairways. The rolling blue surf of the Pacific Ocean and vibrant hues of a setting sun complete the dramatic setting.

New Third Tee

Near the Original Tee, this larger promontory on the third hole of Mauna Kea Beach Hotel’s golf course is our most popular wedding locale. Also high on a lava bluff, it sits just above the manicured fairway and the ocean’s inlet creating a dramatic setting for dreamy “I do’s.”

North Pointe Lawn

This large area is located on the north end of the hotel’s grounds and offers expansive views of the beach and Hawaii’s Kauna‘oa Bay. A lava stone patio serves as the stage for your Big Island wedding ceremony, while the adjacent lawn provides ample room for a wedding reception or dinner to follow.

South Pointe Lawn

Adjacent to the beach at the southern end of the property, lies an enclosed lawn for larger weddings or reception parties. Set among a grove of coconut palms and jungle-like vegetation, it presents an exceptional opportunity to create unique events which stray from the expected.

Manta Ray Lookout

Directly at water’s edge sits a man-made circular lava outcropping. As the name implies, this locale provides resort guests with the popular evening tradition of viewing manta rays in the sea below. By day, there is no spot closer to the Pacific… without getting wet!

Kauna'oa Ballroom

Kauna'oa ballroom features breathtaking panoramic views of Kauna'oa Bay and coastline. Floor to ceiling windows lend an airy and spacious feel to this versatile and luxurious venue.

Garden Room

Terraced dining levels with floor-to-ceiling sliding glass panels on all walls offer panoramic views of the resort and the Kohala Coast. This venue features three tiers of seating and separate room for the buffet. All elements combine to bring the best of Hawaii’s natural beauty under roof.

Luau Grounds

Set among mature, sheltering trees and lush tropical flowers oceanside, this is one of the most authentic wedding venues of its kind on the Big Island. An existing stage, bar, imu (underground oven) and buffet lend themselves naturally to weddings or any other celebration. Due to the resort’s regularly scheduled Hawaiian luau, Tuesdays and Fridays are not available.

Vista Decks

Located on the hotel’s promenade level overlooking breathtaking Kauna’oa Bay, this is the perfect place to say “I do,” host an intimate reception or a private dinner, or customize any gathering with a wow-factor view.
