Aloha & Welcome to Kūaloli Retreats
A Private Sanctuary for Re-Wilding and Renewal
Tucked between jungle and sea on the East Side of the Big Island of Hawai‘i.
Nestled at the base of Kīlauea, one of the world’s most active volcanoes, Kūaloli (koo-ah-low-lee) means metamorphosis — a sanctuary for retreat leaders, solo travelers, couples, and families seeking connection and renewal through nature. More than a self-sustaining tropical fruit farm, it is a living classroom — offering a return to agricultural practices, food grown from fertile volcanic land, and the art of living in harmony with the natural world. Here, we honor life, support your personal reset, and help restore balance, inviting you to reconnect with what truly matters while finding clarity through nature’s guidance.
We are a haven for guests seeking Spaciousness, Reverence and Return
Kūaloli — Our Unique Landscape
Tucked between jungle and sea on Hawai‘i’s wild Puna Coast, Kūaloli rests at the base of Kīlauea, one of the world’s most active volcanoes. A self-sustaining tropical fruit farm and agricultural retreat, it invites you back to what is alive, raw, and real.
Here, volcanic earth meets rugged coasline, and the land calls you to slow down, listen, and reconnect.
Once described as a “medicine farm” by a guest, Kūaloli is a place to remember your natural rhythm and essence—where healing arises through direct relationship with the land. Taste its abundance, from noni and moringa to soursop and beyond, and experience how the veil thins between the material and spiritual worlds.
Nature doesn’t just surround you here — it leads the way.
