Relaxed Island Vibes Just Minutes from Kailua-Kona’s Live Music

Kona Coast Resort is a lush, tropical retreat located on Hawaii’s stunning Kona Coast, under a mile from Kahaluu Beach. Designed like a home away from home, this laid-back resort offers spacious villas with full kitchens, private patios, and all the comforts of island living. With two outdoor pools, three hot tubs, and plenty of green space, it’s the perfect blend of relaxation and convenience for concert-goers soaking up the sounds of the Big Island.

Why Concert-goers love it

Just a short drive from downtown Kailua-Kona’s live music bars and event spaces, Kona Coast Resort offers peaceful lodgings away from the noise — ideal for recharging after a show. With front desk service until 11:00 pm and activities staff on hand daily, you’ll find help planning your concert night or post-show adventures. The resort’s fully-equipped villas and in-room laundry also mean packing light is no problem.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends who want space to hang out pre- or post-concert
• Solo travelers ticking off a dream show and seeking a serene base
• Couples making a romantic music-filled weekend getaway
• Fans who prefer quiet recovery time after the encore
• Budget-conscious music lovers who want value without sacrificing comfort

Food and Drink Options

The on-site Sunset Terrace serves up Hawaiian and American classics — ideal for a pre-show dinner or casual bite. While 24/7 room service isn’t available, each villa has a full kitchen, and nearby eateries along Alii Drive are just a short drive away. Barbecue facilities are also available for DIY meals, and the relaxed vibe means breakfast after a late night is never rushed.

Nightlife Options

While the resort itself leans more tranquil than trendy, it’s just minutes from Kailua-Kona’s vibrant nightlife. From island-style beach bars to laid-back lounges with live music, the local scene is just close enough for a spontaneous night out, yet far enough to guarantee a peaceful night’s sleep.

What People Say

Guests love the resort’s spacious villas, well-kept grounds, and relaxing atmosphere. Many mention the location’s closeness to beaches and local attractions, as well as the helpful staff and convenient amenities like in-room laundry and full kitchens. Families and groups especially appreciate the size and comfort of the accommodations.

Areas for Improvement

While the resort is beautiful, it’s not in the heart of town — so a car is helpful if you’re catching a show downtown. Some guests note the decor is a bit dated, but most agree the space and cleanliness more than make up for it.

The Bottom Line

If you’re looking for a relaxed, roomy base near Kailua-Kona’s music scene, Kona Coast Resort offers tropical comfort with a quiet side — perfect for concert-goers who want to unwind in paradise.
