Said to be the birthplace
of hula, Molokai is Hawaii’s 5th largest island, yet
seems to be an island that the world has left behind…or
is it the other way around? A place where there are no buildings
taller than a coconut tree, no traffic jams... no traffic
lights. The 65,000 secluded acres of Molokai Ranch were
formerly owned by King Kamehameha V, as well as corporate
giants Dole & Del Monte pineapple companies. The property
is unique and truly Hawaii's only eco-adventure resort with
a vast array of activities from horseback riding, mountain
biking, sport shooting, archery, ocean kayaking, explorations
or just day-dreaming in your hammock...
Nestled amid swaying palms, The Beach
Village fronts the double-crescent white sand Kaupoa Beach
with forty (40) two-bedroom canvas tentalows on platform
decks clustered throughout ancient sites which at one time
was a Hawaiian fishing village . Complete with lounge chairs,
deck seating, covered picnic table, open-air bathroom with
sink, toilet and shower complete with full bath amenities,
the Beach Village is truly an outdoor experience and a destination
all its own.
Electrical energy is generated
by the brightness of the sun rather than the heat from the
sun. The Solar water heating system, however, makes hot
water from the heat energy of the sun. The Solar power also
provides eco-friendly lights in the evening, hot running
water and ceiling fans with an environmentally friendly
composting toilet, adding conveniences that even a true
nature lover and outdoor adventurer will appreciate.
Tentalows and hammocks dot the green
landscaped lawns, waves cascade on to the shore and unobstructed
sunsets paint the sky while a blanket of stars glow overhead
as well as the city of Honolulu in the distant view. The
Beach Village offers a camp host or hostess desk that greets
you upon arrival and can provide activity information, towels,
chairs, snorkel equipment, boogie boards, and more for the
perfect day at the beach. Croquet, horseshoes, beach volleyball,
stargazing, campfires are available on the beachfront lawn.
Meals are served in the open-air oceanfront Kaupoa Dining
Pavilion featuring breakfast, lunch and dinner buffets with
entrée’s cooked to order by on-staff chefs,
such as omelettes, barbecued hamburgers or grilled fresh
fish and steaks.
