Hilton Waikoloa Village

Hilton Waikoloa Village is a 62-acre oceanfront resort on Hawaii's Kohala Coast, on the Big Island's leeward shore. Built across lava rock coastline and opened in the 1980s, the property features a four-acre ocean-fed saltwater lagoon, multiple pool complexes, tropical gardens, and more than 1,800 pieces of art displayed along a museum walkway. Guests travel the expansive grounds by canal boat and air-conditioned monorail. For events, the resort offers more than 120,000 square feet of indoor meeting and exhibit space alongside over 175,000 square feet of outdoor event areas — among the largest event footprints on Hawaii's outer islands. The Grand Ballroom seats up to 2,400 guests across three stepped levels and can be divided into seven flexible sections. Outdoor settings range from the Buddha Point Lawn, with panoramic sunset views over the Pacific and capacity for up to 800 for receptions, to the Lagoon Lanai adjacent to the resort's saltwater lagoon and its cascading waterfall. Naupaka Point, a newer oceanfront venue spanning 34,000 square feet, accommodates up to 1,000 for receptions along the Kohala Coast. The resort's culinary team provides in-house catering, including locally sourced ingredients and Hawaiian specialties, and a dedicated on-site events planning team supports coordination from inquiry through event day.
