Get Away From The Every Day With A Stay At This Breathtaking Hawaii Ranch

As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.

The Hawaiian Islands are well-known for incredible beaches, coastal towns, and ocean views, but that’s not all the Aloha State has to offer. Hawaii is also home to remarkable ranchlands, and plenty of paniolo (Hawaiian cowboy) history. And while every square mile of rural Hawaii is absolutely delightful, there is one ranch that might not have been on your radar… until now, that is.

Nestled along Hawaii Island’s Kona coast in Captain Cook, just a little more than an hour from the Kona International Airport, Ho’omau Ranch is a sprawling oasis that tops our travel wishlist this year.

Sprawling between 1,500 feet in elevation and rising gently to more than 3,700 feet in elevation, Ho’omau Ranch offers horseback riding tours, ATV and UTV excursions, and even ranch stays.

This is agritourism at its finest, and there’s no better place to get away from it all than this off-the-beaten-path ranch, especially if you’re looking for a unique option for a uniquely Hawaiian vacation.

With two cozy bedrooms and two fold-out couches in the living room which can accommodate up to eight people, this is the perfect spot for a family vacation.

Featuring a fully-equipped kitchen and outdoor barbecue as well as a full bath inside and a half bath outside plus a garden shower and laundry available, you’ll feel right at home in this cottage.

Enjoy watching the sunrise over Mauna Loa or the sunset over the Pacific Ocean from covered lanais, play in the large yard, hunt for avocados, bananas, and lemons in your private jungle garden, and hang out with the nearby horses and peacocks. You can even hear the Black Angus cattle in the distance — talk about immersing yourself in the life of a paniolo.

There is a three-night minimum stay here at Ho'omau Ranch, but we don't think you'll ever want to leave this beautifully remote ranch. So, what are you waiting for? Book your stay today and embrace your inner paniolo.

Address: 89-1074 Old Mamalahoa Highway, Captain Cook, HI 96704
