Kapilina rests in a grove of native ʻiliahi, koa, ʻōhiʻa, and māmaki trees, offering a space of peace and quiet. At this elevation, (4,000-6,000 feet) forest birds can be heard calling to one another, adding to the natural rhythm of the area. The site reflects serenity with a simple, rustic charm that invites guests to live beyond walls and feel part of the land.

This off-grid glamping retreat sits in the heart of Hawaiʻi’s natural beauty. Kapilina features six sustainable cabins, each honoring a native bird that once filled these forests. Through thoughtful color, texture, and quiet storytelling, every cabin celebrates the unique spirit of its winged Alakaʻi namesake.
