The Banyan Suite gets its name as it faces the largest (unofficial) Banyan tree in Hawaii where at night you can lay in bed and see the beauty of this magnificent giant tree in lights. Your suite also opens to a 300sf Lanai, the seahorse lounge, with views of the ocean and horses where you can sit on the couches and relax as horses come right up to the lanai to say hello. There is no separate cooking facility, only a small fridge and microwave to reheat food to enjoy on the outdoor dining lanai. A laundry facility is located onsite and available to guest through a concierge service. The room comes stocked with drinks and snacks for your stay. Breakfast is provided every morning on the Pool Lanai. This is a Bed and Breakfast Room in complete luxury. Your Hawaiian Celebration. Do not compromise, you are worth it.

While staying at the Banyan Suite, a typical day would start by drinking a cup of coffee or tea watching the most beautiful sunrise on the Pacific Ocean from your bed, the lower garden, or pool deck of Hale Laule'a. After coffee, go on a 2-mile round trip walk to Hakalau Beach Park taking in views of Mauna Kea, waterfalls and lush tropical plants. When you arrive at the beach, it will most likely be all yours as you explore the ruins of an old sugar plantation and look in amazement of the natural beauty of Hawaii. Once back, you can jump into the pool for a refreshing swim in the 25-meter lap lane or play a game of volleyball in the sports area of the pool. When done, settle into the lower garden on Hale Laule'a with a good book or do Yoga or meditation session in any of our four gardens. After lunch, walk the gardens, visit the farmers market, or arrange for an optional in-house experience. During the winter months, watch the whales frolic right off the property. At night, enjoy the back lanai of the main house by the fireplace, or get into the spa and watch the stars unfold. For privacy, head to the lower garden and sit by yourself surrounded by the ocean on three sides with waves crashing on the rocks below as you drift away to another world in one of the most beautiful spots on this earth. Anything you want is possible and arrangements can be made with the host.

Additional activity arrangements for guests can be made by host to include Horse Experience, a Land Experience or a Water Experience. You can also make a private appointment for Lifestyle Medicine consultation with Dr. Jennifer Walker. For special occasions, guests can arrange for private parties such as weddings or other intimate events.
