Post-holiday travel to Hawaii is gaining popularity, and for good reason. According to a recent survey, 80% of travelers believe January and February are the best times to visit, and for those seeking a harmonious blend of relaxation, adventure, and spacious accommodations, Mauna Kea Residences, offers the quintessential tropical getaway on the Kohala Coast of Hawaii’s Big Island.
Below are a few reasons why it’s the best time for travelers to make Hawaii their next getaway:
- New Accommodations: Be one of the first to stay in the two newly-constructed rentals of the Mauna Kea Residences portfolio, Hapuna Estate 8 and Hapuna Beach Residence A25. Guests will enjoy a private oasis complete with stunning panoramic ocean views, lanai spaces for relaxation, and signing privileges at both Mauna Kea Beach Hotel and The Westin Hapuna Beach Resort.
- Weather: These months offer some of the most pleasant weather in Hawaii. While the islands experience warm temperatures year-round, January and February often see slightly cooler and more comfortable weather, with less humidity and rainfall, making it the ideal time to partake in outdoor activities, such as tennis, golf, Manta Night Swims, and snorkeling.
- Whale Watching: January and February mark the peak of whale-watching season on the Big Island. To the native Hawaiians, these humpbacks have a strong cultural value, representing the Hawaiian god of all ocean life. From the upper balconies of the oceanfront Hapuna Beach Residences, guests will get a front-row seat at the whale’s aquatic performances right from their room.
- Fewer Crowds: Following the holiday season rush, January and February generally see fewer tourists, meaning less crowded beaches, cheaper flights, and a more relaxed atmosphere to explore the islands and take advantage of the world-class amenities at Mauna Kea Resort.
- Off-Season Deals: With the ‘Experience Aloha’ package, guests who book a minimum 5-night stay at Mauna Kea Residences will receive a resort credit of up to $300 per night to apply towards endless activities at Mauna Kea Resort, including dining & luau, spa, golf, tennis, and beach activities.
