Where simplicity and grandeur coexist: Three inter-connecting hexagons with five separate guest rooms, four full baths, a fully equipped kitchen and airy, dome-shaped common area—all surround a stunning, private studio.
Whether you choose one guest room or the entire tropical manor, enchantment is what you will likely feel as you move through this architecturally fascinating space with its connecting bridge, open-air lanai overlooking the gardens, multi-hued windows and sun-saturated deck.
Common to each property is the artistry: hand-carved doors and pillars • sustainably-harvested tropical hard woods • smooth river stones that have been hand-placed with care on many walkways and walls • refined landscaping merging with flourishing jungle.
Only a short walk from the ocean, Ramashala is the convergence of two distinctive properties. Each space is characterized by the soothing quality of elemental rooms and spaces—a seamless flow between the tropical splendor outside and simple elegance inside.

Location
The southeastern corner of the Big Island is home to the district of Puna, an historical area that offers countless treasures. Bigger than the island of Oahu, Puna is a colorful and culturally distinct enclave of artists, writers, permaculture farmers and a thriving counter culture community. Here you can feel free to slow down, completely unwind and explore the extraordinary abundance: from rain forests and farms blossoming with papayas, mangoes, orchids and macadamia nuts to transcendental lava-lands and truly spectacular coastal views.
The Big Island of Hawaii is a place of diversity and beauty. Rare, endangered plant and animal life, pristine micro-climates—from snow-covered peaks to lava deserts to lush tropical rainforest—the world's most massive mountain (Mauna Loa at 19,000 cubic miles) and tallest from its base (33,000 feet), plus the earth's most active volcano (Kilauea) are some of the awe-inspiring treasures of the island.
Just down the road
Kehena Beach
Natural black sand beach only 200 yards away. Look for the spinner dolphins and turtles that frequently visit year round and whales in winter.
Sunrise and sunset hikes on the lava fields
A 5 minute walk across the lava leads to a new black sand beach.
Snorkeling at Kapoho Tide-pools
Dozens of spring-fed tide-pools offering fantastic snorkeling
Soaking at Ahalanui (“the warm pond”)
A large warm pool with a manmade wall separating it from the ocean.
Snorkeling and soaking at Champagne Pond
A protected ocean inlet percolating with sparkling freshwater heated by the volcano.
Steam vents
A maze of short trails leading to natural lava steam rooms of varying sizes.
La'akea Permaculture Gardens
Permaculture school devoted to teaching sustainable, earth-restorative practices.
Kalani Oceanside Retreat
Featuring a low-chlorine, 25 meter Olympic pool and Aloha Café open daily.
Lava Tree State Park
A gentle 30-60 minute forest walk through moss-covered lava tube trees and
monkey pod trees, featuring a symphony of birds throughout.
Full and half-day adventures:
Stargazing on Mauna Kea
The summit of Mauna Kea on the Big Island of Hawaii hosts the world's largest astronomical observatory, with telescopes operated by astronomers from eleven countries. The 4,200 meter (13,667 feet) high summit houses the world's largest observatory for optical and infrared astronomy. The combined light-gathering power of the telescopes on Mauna Kea is fifteen times greater than that of the Palomar telescope in California -- for many years the world's largest -- and sixty times greater than that of the Hubble Space Telescope.
Whale watching
Humpback whales migrate from Alaska to the cool, nutrient rich waters of the Hawaiian islands from about Christmas to March.
Volcanoes National Park
Home of Pele, the Hawaiian goddess of fire. Created to preserve the region's unique volcanic features and the plant and animal life of this extraordinary bio-region. |
