Resort Information: Keauhou Kona Surf and Racquet Club Resort is a four-star resort located oceanfront near Kahalu'u in the Keauhou area of Kailua-Kona, Big Island, Hawaii - approximately four miles south of the Kailua-Kona Town Center or the Kailua-Kona Pier. T

The Keauhou Kona Surf and Racquet Club Resort is located in the center of the Kona Coast. The Keauhou area is known for calm winds and warm, sunny days because it is located on the leeward side of Mauna Kea, the 13,796-foot-high (above sea level) mountain that is the highest point in all of the Hawaiian Islands. In fact, if Mauna Kea's height is measured from its base (18,000 feet below sea level), it surpasses even Mount Everest as the world's highest mountain (31,796 feet) Before modern times when the trade winds were blowing cold winter air down from the northeast, the Hawaiians would travel to the Keauhou Bay area for shelter and warmth.

Other Activities: Parasailing, boating, hot air ballooning, shopping, kayaking.
