Overview
Shell Vacations Club Holua Resort at the Mauna Loa Village is a relaxed, sprawling resort set among lush gardens in Kailua-Kona, with mountain and golf-course views. It is a five-minute walk from Keauhou Bay and the 18-hole Kona Country Club golf course.

Amenities & Recreation
Resort facilities include six outdoor pools, hot tubs, tennis courts, a gym, and barbecue grills. Free parking is also available.
Surroundings
The resort is near Kona’s beaches, coffee attractions, historic sites, and cultural experiences. Kahaluʻu Beach Park is about 2.6 km away, La'aloa Beach Park (Magic Sands) about 4.3 km away, and Heavenly Hawaiian Kona Coffee Farm Tours about 3.4 km away.
Best for
The villa layout suits families, couples, and other travelers who want more room than a standard hotel room, with kitchens, dining areas, sofa beds, and washer/dryers. Pool time, tennis, and the nearby bay and golf course also make the resort a fit for guests seeking on-site recreation alongside Kona-area outings.
Travel tips
Keauhou Bay and the Kona Country Club golf course are each described as a five-minute walk from the resort. For other outings, note the listed distances: Kahaluʻu Beach Park is about 2.6 km away, Magic Sands about 4.3 km, and Hulihe‘e Palace about 9.8 km; transit details are not documented, so plan how you will reach places beyond walking distance.
