Location
Captain Cook sits on the southern coast of the Big Island — close enough to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park for a morning hike, far enough from the tourist crowds to feel like your own corner of Hawaii.
About Makalani
Makalani was founded on a simple idea: travelers don't need luxury frills — they need a clean room, a safe place to park, and someone who actually knows the area.
Located in Captain Cook on Hawaii's Big Island, we're positioned between the ocean and the volcano. That means you can watch the sunrise over the Pacific from your patio, then drive into the park before the crowds arrive.
Whether you're here for a layover, a volcano expedition, or a slow week of island living, we treat every guest the same — like a neighbor who happens to have a few extra rooms.
Rooms are limited and fill quickly during peak season. Call us today to check availability and secure your stay at Makalani.
