Discover An Unexpected Chalet Hiding In The Heart Of The Hawaiian Rainforest

Chalet Kilauea offers a unique, rustic luxury experience in a Hawaiian rainforest near Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.

From luxury beachfront resorts, heavenly hotels, and enchanting inns to charming bed and breakfasts, rustic cabins, and vacation rentals, the Hawaiian Islands are home to more accommodations than we could ever hope to count, but it’s rare that you’ll find accommodation as unique as the one we’re sharing with you today. Typically found in the Swiss Alps or at ski resorts across the world, we were surprised to discover that Hawaii is home to its very own chalet hiding in a forest on Hawaii Island, and trust us, it’s as enchanting as it sounds.

If you’re looking for an ordinary hotel, Chalet Kilauea isn’t it. Nestled in the beauty of a pristine rainforest full of ohia and hapuu trees, here, you will vacation in rustic luxury, Hawaiian style, of course.

Chalet Kilauea is just one of the unique properties managed by the Kilauea Hospitality Group. The Lohaki Lodge and Volcano Hale are both excellent options for a Hawaii Island vacation, though we’re certainly partial to this Hawaiian chalet.

Upscale rooms are designed in harmony with the surrounding environment and feature a private bath, daily housekeeping, and wireless internet.

Cozy beds and decor as well as beautifully rustic bathrooms,

If you want a little more elbow room, stay in one of their deluxe bungalows, complete with a charming living room and private lanai. This fireplace comes in handy during those chilly Volcano nights.

Start your morning with a cup of coffee and a walk through the gorgeous grounds home to hundreds of tropical plants.

Don’t forget to stop at the koi pond and garden gazebo to take a few photos or just drink in the natural beauty.

Located just five minutes from Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, there’s no better accommodation from which to explore all this magnificent national park has to offer.

The Chalet Kilauea even offers easy access to a variety of uniquely Hawaiian activities, from hiking, golf, and horseback riding to scenic helicopter rides, waterfall viewing, and winery relaxation.

After a day full of adventure, relax in the property’s six-person hot tub as you gaze up at the night sky. Can you imagine a better way to end a perfect Hawaiian day?

Whether you're looking for a romantic getaway with your significant other or an excellent spot from which your family can experience Hawaii Island's unique natural beauty, the Chalet Kilauea is centrally-located and entirely unique.

If you're looking to truly get away from it all, Chalet Kilauea might just be the perfect place to go. Nestled off the beaten path, this dreamy destination is unlike anything you'll find across the Hawaiian Islands.
