About this property

A Polished Retreat: Double Accommodations & Detached Bathroom

Welcome to the Hawaiian Sanctuary, a 44-acre tropical farm-stay that goes beyond the typical resort experience, offering a unique blend of island living, eco-conscious comfort, and vibrant community experiences. Unwind, revitalize, and reconnect with nature at Hawaiian Sanctuary Eco-Retreat and Permaculture Center.

Hawaiian Sanctuary is a retreat center with multiple cabins and numerous shared amenities, including a shared pool, spa with jacuzzi and sauna, and communal kitchen. This cabin has two queen beds, accommodating up to four guests. The cabin is equipped with a kitchenette along with a private bathroom and a shower for your convenience. It is surrounded by pristine jungle, awash with the sound of tropical birds by day and tree frogs by night.


Indulge in the holistic amenities at your fingertips, including access to our spa featuring an ozonated jacuzzi hot tub and UV infrared sauna, a fully equipped free-weight fitness gym, and an array of enriching onsite classes.

As a Permaculture Education Center, our grounds flourish with vibrant flowers, plants, jungles and gardens. Explore our ground-dwelling bird sanctuary on a leisurely walk through our permaculture orchards.

Delight in fresh farm-to-table food at Elixir bar or with our private chef served Monday through Friday. Every Friday, immerse yourself in the healing vibrations of crystal sound bowls during our Sound Healing Class, followed by the rhythmic beats of our weekly Bee Dance Party from 7:00 p.m. to 10:30 p.m., hosted by local DJs. Kindly consult our calendar for ongoing events during your stay.

Your reservation includes access to the spa (jacuzzi and infrared sauna), public pool, gym facilities, weekly Sound Healing and Friday Ecstatic Dance (typically $20 for non-guests). Additionally, enjoy optional daily yoga classes for just $10 per session.

During your stay, inquire about our spa sessions, massages, or guided permaculture tours, enhancing your well-being amidst the tropical beauty.

As a retreat center with interns and students as staff, we proudly offer the best prices in Hawaii. Your feedback is valued, as we continuously strive to create an exceptional experience for our guests.
