KONA, HAWAII – Perched on the dramatic cliffs of Keauhou Bay, the newly transformed OUTRIGGER Kona Resort & Spa beckons guests with unparalleled meeting spaces and distinct experiences for their next event. Following a recently completed $60 million renovation, the resort offers a harmonious blend of its profound heritage and contemporary elegance, making it the ideal destination for MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions) in a world-class oceanfront setting.
The redesign, inspired by the concept of “kōī au” – symbolizing a flowing current – artfully incorporates oceanic currents and wave motifs into its interiors, capturing the enchanting spirit of Keauhou Bay. This thoughtful integration creates a deeper connection between guests and the island’s rich tapestry, transporting them through a journey of past and present.
“It’s a pleasure to showcase the resort’s latest enhancements and share this culturally and environmentally vibrant destination with our guests,” said OUTRIGGER Kona Resort & Spa General Manager Geoff Pearson. “With 110,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor event space, from elegant ballrooms to oceanfront lawns and the largest conference center in Kona, we are proud to offer our space for your next event.”
