Island casual, toes-in-the-sand · $$$

Lava Lava Beach Club

Toes in the sand, mai tai in hand, live music as the sun drops behind A-Bay, the Kohala Coast's definitive beach dinner.

Lava Lava Beach Club sits directly on the sand at Anaeho’omalu Bay, and it does exactly what a beach club should: fresh island plates, strong tropical cocktails, live slack-key at golden hour, and a sunset you’ll measure every other sunset against.

Ask our concierge to time your reservation to the sun, the beachfront rail tables go first, every single night.
