Paliuli is an ancient Hawaiian legend describing a hidden mystical paradise, known as the Garden of Eden of Hawaii, and the sacred home of Princess Laieikawai. A place of divine abundance, sacred protection, and regenerative power. Our farm carries that name as both an honoring of the land's history and a living aspiration for every guest who arrives.

Paliuli is not a hotel. We are a Hawaiian sanctuary retreat center and working Kona coffee farm that integrates the sacred into all aspects of life. Guests who feel most at home here come willing to be changed by the place as much as by any program

Individual suites are available for solo travelers, couples, and small groups. The full property, sleeping up to 13 and gathering up to 35, is available for groups, retreat leaders, and organizational offsites at $1,500 per night with a four-night minimum.

Each sabbatical week includes lodging in a private suite, farm-nourished meals, facilitated group visioning and integration sessions, and generous unstructured time on the land. Small groups only. See the individual event pages for full details and pricing for our Hawaiian wellness retreats.

Deeply so. Paliuli is a women-centered, women-informed space. Many of our guests are women arriving solo, some for the first time and others returning for a second or third year of deeper work. The land and the community here hold solo guests with particular care and intention.

Most retreat centers in Hawaii are resort-adjacent or programming-heavy. Paliuli is a living Kona coffee farm with a small-group, land-first approach. The coffee trees, the cacao, the birdsong, the spinner dolphins resting in Honaunau Bay, the ancient quiet of the land. These are our primary offering. We are not a spa. We are something older and quieter.

We are near Honaunau on the South Kona coast, about 20 minutes from Kona town. Close by: Puuhonua o Honaunau National Historical Park, snorkeling and swimming with spinner dolphins at Two Step beach, Kona coffee belt farm tours, and the volcanic south shore landscape of the Big Island.

The most aligned way to book is directly with us. Booking directly means we can connect with you personally, understand what you are looking for, and make sure the experience is the right fit for where you are in your journey.

Yes. Paliuli combines farm-based rest with intentional programming. Guests come for nervous system reset, slow mornings, and time on sacred land. It's a wellness retreat built around land.

Very much so. Couples often book The Lilikoi House or one of the private suites for a few nights of shared quiet: sunset views, farm walks, and no schedule to keep. It works equally well as a standalone couples retreat or as part of a longer Big Island stay.
