Mauna Lani, Auberge resorts collection History
Throwback to the 70s, the Mauna Lani was just a relaxation spot where Elvis Presley and his friends hung out. However, by 2018, Auberge resorts bought the business and spent a fortune renovating it. The Mauna Lani, Auberge resorts collection officially opened on 15th January, 2020.
Mauna Lani Auberge resorts collection today, is a gorgeous setting with a relaxing natural atmosphere. The room we stayed in, was spacious, clean, and had modern amenities. We were also able to view the mesmerizing surrounding areas from the balcony unbridled. The resort gives off a laid-back vibe where you can rest easily, away from the usual busy work days.
What Awards Does It Have?
After its renovation from 2018 to 2020, the Mauna Lani, Auberge resorts collection gained recognition from several famous industries. The AHEAD Awards presented the best Hotel Renovation project, Design award, and hospitality in 2020.

When Is the Best Time to Visit the Resort?
The best time to visit the resort is in summer. That is because the resort gives plenty of discounts, and securing space is easier. Summer is the low season in Hawaii when there is plenty of rainfall and sunny days. Since the weather during that time is not right for outdoor activities, tourists steer clear. For instance, you can get up to 35% off for the second guest room, while the first room booked at a regular price.
