Palm Villas I-2 – Ground-Level 2BR/2BA Condo with Private Mauna Lani Beach Club

Summary:
Palm Villas I-2 is a spacious two-bedroom, two-bath condo located on the ground level of a quiet six-plex building in the Palm Villas at Mauna Lani. With approximately 1,100 square feet of living space, this home comfortably sleeps up to four guests.

The Space:
The main bedroom features a queen bed, en-suite bathroom, and access to the private lanai. The second bedroom is equipped with one full and one twin bed, and a second full bathroom with a combination shower and tub is conveniently located just off the hallway.

The gourmet kitchen includes granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a wine fridge, and is fully stocked with everything you need to prepare meals at home. An outdoor kitchen with a built-in gas grill and seating for four makes it easy to enjoy al fresco dining in the warm Hawaiian air. Inside, the condo features nine-foot ceilings and large windows that allow natural light and island breezes to flow throughout the space. Ceiling fans in every room and central air conditioning ensure comfort year-round. A washer and dryer are located in the unit for your convenience.

Guest Access:
Guests of Palm Villas I-2 enjoy access to the private Mauna Lani Beach Club, where you’ll find calm waters for snorkeling, lounge chairs, showers, and restrooms. Paddle boards, kayaks, and other beach equipment are available to rent on-site. The Beach Club is also home to Napua Restaurant, which offers beachfront dining for lunch and elegant white-tablecloth service in the evening. Reservations for dinner are strongly recommended.

The Neighborhood:
The Palm Villas complex includes a resort-style pool, a small fitness center, and beautifully landscaped tropical grounds. The gated community is ideally located within the Mauna Lani Resort, just steps from the Mauna Lani Spa and Tennis Club. A scenic walking path just outside the gate winds through an archaeological preserve filled with lava tubes and ancient Hawaiian fishponds.

The Shops at Mauna Lani are just a 10-minute walk or a quick 2-minute drive away, offering upscale restaurants including Tommy Bahama and Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse, a gourmet grocery store, a coffee shop, and several boutiques. The Mauna Lani Resort also features two championship golf courses and a 9-hole short course, perfect for golf enthusiasts.

Nearby, Hapuna Beach is a short 10-minute drive north, and Kona International Airport is approximately 25 minutes away. The historic town of Kailua-Kona, known for its oceanfront dining and shopping, is about 29 miles to the south. Whether you want to relax on the beach, explore ancient Hawaiian sites, or adventure through the Big Island’s diverse landscapes, Palm Villas I-2 is the perfect base for your Hawaiian getaway.

Mauna Lani Beach Club & Palm Villas
As a guest of Palm Villas, you’ll enjoy exclusive access to the private Mauna Lani Beach Club. The Beach Club offers fantastic snorkeling, complimentary chaise lounges, restrooms, and showers, along with convenient, private guest parking. Paddle boards, kayaks, and other large beach equipment are also available to rent on-site.

There is an exercise room within the Palm Villas as well as a pool and hot tub that are available for your use. You can visit and use the Mauna Lani Fitness and racquet club for additional fees.

The Beach Club is also home to Napua Restaurant, which serves lunch daily and offers a gorgeous oceanfront setting. Napua closes at 4:00 p.m. and then reopens at 5:00 p.m. as an upscale, white-tablecloth restaurant for dinner. Napua is open to the public for dinner (not just Beach Club guests), and reservations are highly recommended.

Palm Villas is a small, luxury gated community in the heart of Mauna Lani, offering a peaceful, tropical setting for your stay.

In the garage, you will find beach chairs, boogie boards, a beach umbrella, snorkel gear, and sand toys for your use.

Checks all boxes - great location!

Good spot: We appreciated that the place was clean and well equipped — everything needed without being filled with leftover junk from previous guests. Access to the Mauna Lani Beach Club & beach gave us a good sun spot and walk-in snorkeling. Ground floor unit was spacious with 4 dining room chairs and kitchen counter seating, good internet, and easy workspace if you’re combining work and vacay. Nice attention to detail and cleanliness was really appreciated.

Quiet, well-appointed condo in Mauna Lani

We had an excellent time staying in this condo. It's a gated, smallish complex in the Mauna Lani resort, within walking distance to the beach through a historic park to the fishponds and beach. The grounds were lush and generally quiet. Key card access to the semi-private beach was a plus.

Everything you need and more...

This was a perfect, stress-free, FUN vacation for us starting with the booking process all the way thru our flight back home. The condo was inviting, spacious, clean, well-stocked and secluded in a secure, lush, gated community. Within walking distance was a historic site complete with lava tubes and fish ponds; keep walking and you reach The Beach Club with a calm cove perfect for snorkeling. We walked, cycled and drove to amazing restaurants and shopping. We enjoyed morning coffee and evening "nightcaps" on our private patio overlooking beautiful grounds. This was our home away from home in Paradise. We highly recommend!!

We vacation often on the Big Island and there’s no better place to stay than a condo in Palm Villas. I2 is a wonderful unit on the ground floor. Clean and comfortable, with lots of extras to use at the beach club.

So nice!

The condo made leaving home so easy. We had almost everything we needed (except a drain board for dishes) and what we didn’t find, Meredith and Anne provided. The proximity to the beautiful pool also made life easy and we were only a 12 minute walk to the hotel where our children and grandchildren were staying. So nice!

this place was amazing in so many ways. So close to gorgeous walks by the fish ponds which lead to the sea. Quiet with a lovely pool. No king sized bed; it’s a queen but the rooms are lovely and generous. Lots of great beach equipment which we used well. We would definitely come again. I loved having breakfast with the birds in the lanai.

Very pleasant apartment, well equipped and very clean, beautiful surroundings (gardens and beach)

Spacious, elegant, quiet, well equipped appartment. (Only the shower could be improved.) We have appreciated the early check-in and the late check-out. The gardens and the view on the lava field are beautiful. The pool is pleasant. The beach is lovely with easy access, clear water, many fishes and a very good beach restaurant. Also convenient shops and restaurants nearby.

Perfect stay

The condo from booking to check in was perfect! Had all we needed to cook in and close to a few amenities for shopping. The place was spot less. The garage was tidy but on the smaller side so dont rent a huge suv. Neighbors were quiet and pleasant and shared some fruit with us. Pool and hot tub were also very clean and felt great after hiking all day. On the grounds were petroglyphs, which were worth the hike. We had plenty of room to Relax and our 9 year old wanted to live there forever.
