We bought a Living Social deal and myself and my wife had a little bit of concern before getting there because the website claims this place as a vegetarian/hippie community. Once we got there we realize how awesome this place is and everything was really over our expectations. The location is spectacular, we stayed at some bungalows in the middle... More

I went to Kalani in November of 2011 to heal from a bad break up, and it was a truly wonderful experience. My only complaint is that there really were no swimable beaches nearby. I did visit a black sand beach but the surf is rough, more so than I would be brave enough to go in. That isnt Kalani's... More

What a fantastic place to visit. I did a yoga retreat here and we all absolutely loved it. The grounds are beautiful. The staff and volunteers were so nice. The food was absolutely incredible. The pool is wonderful. And if you get a chance, schedule a Watsu session. It is a amazing experience. Thanks all at Kalani for a great... More

I volunteered at Kalani for three months. It is an amazing place, it attracts amazing people. There are a fantastic variety of classes happening at all times, where there is ample oppurtunity to learn several types of yoga and dance, including hula. There is also a Hawaiian studies class which teaches about the language and the history of Hawai'i. The... More

My husband and I ONLY have great things to report about Kalani. We have stayed there on 4 different occasions and all 4 were spectacular. Three were with the "Couples in Paradise" group and the last one was with the "Lomi Lomi Massage" group. As always our room has always been unique and special and we have always felt safe... More

If you could do with some soul pampering, Kalani has what you need. In a jungle setting, with first-class yoga classes, massage, and other therapies available, not to mention proximity to the intoxicating beauty of the ocean waves, Kalani also offers more, something remarkable: an emotionally safe cocoon of welcoming aloha spirit and loving acceptance for all who walk through...

I arrived at Kalani at night, so my first impression was not of the beauty of this retreat center. My first impression was of the staff. What a treat that was. From the volunteer who picked me up at the airport, to the lady who checked me into my room, I received nothing but Aloha upon my arrival. My next... More

I stayed here with my husband, baby, father and brother over Christmas time. To be honest, I actively seek out artistic places like this... if you want an experience versus just a room than I suggest you consider Kalani. Rooms: The rooms feel like wooden cottages except that they had really interesting paintings. (Stayed in the treehouse and a bungalow.)... More
