About the host

Hosted by Sammy Hastings

Host profile image
Sammy, originally from Indiana and California, and Tabol, born and raised on O‘ahu, are the heart and soul behind Māla o Kīlauea. Together, they bring a unique blend of mainland warmth and island aloha to every guest experience.

Both are passionate about hosting and love sharing their creative gifts — from music and art to stories of the land and local culture. They thrive on creating memorable moments, whether it’s guiding guests to hidden gems, curating peaceful spaces for reflection, or simply sharing a conversation under the stars.

Their goal is simple: to make every guest feel welcome, inspired, and connected — both to the island and to themselves.

Why they chose this property

Location

Māla o Kīlauea is perfectly situated for exploring the Big Island. We’re just five miles from Pahoa Village, a charming town with great restaurants, two grocery stores, and locally owned shops.

In just ten minutes, you can reach the scenic Puna Coast (also known as the Red Road), where you’ll find black sand beaches and volcanic-heated warm ponds — unique to this area of Hawai‘i.

We’re also close to many of the island’s most iconic destinations:
• Hilo Town – 30 minutes (shops, markets, museums, and waterfalls)
• Volcano National Park, Mountain View, and Mauna Kea Observatory – 45 minutes
• South Point and Green Sand Beach – 2 hours
• Kona – 2 hours

The Big Island is truly big, so staying in a central location like ours is key to making the most of your time. From here, you can explore every corner of the island while returning each day to your own peaceful retreat.
