The layout works especially well for families, couples traveling together, or small groups, with three separate bedrooms and comfortable common areas for gathering.

Bedrooms

Bedroom 1 — Queen

The first bedroom features a queen bed and air conditioning, providing a comfortable and private place to rest.

The second bedroom also features a queen bed and air conditioning, making the home a convenient choice for two couples or families traveling together.

Bedroom 3 — Double + Twin

The third bedroom includes one double bed and one twin bed, offering a flexible sleeping arrangement for children, friends, or additional family members.

This bedroom also has an attached half bathroom for added convenience.

Bathrooms

The home has 1 full bathroom and 1 half bathroom.

A standout feature of Mele Mele is its fully enclosed private outdoor shower, included as part of the full-bath setup.

Guests can enjoy the open-air feeling of showering in Hawaiʻi while maintaining complete privacy. It is especially convenient after snorkeling, swimming, or spending the day at one of the nearby beaches.

The half bathroom is attached to Bedroom 3.

Kitchen & Dining

The fully equipped kitchen gives guests the freedom to prepare meals throughout their stay.

Enjoy breakfast before heading to the water, lunch between beach outings, or a relaxed dinner at home after a full day of exploring.

The adjoining dining and living areas offer comfortable spaces for everyone to gather.

Living Area

The main living area is air-conditioned and provides a comfortable place to relax, cool off, read, spend time together, or plan the next day’s adventures.

All three bedrooms are also air-conditioned.

Outdoor Living

Mele Mele embraces the indoor-outdoor lifestyle that makes Puako so special.

The large tropical yard and outdoor areas provide plenty of space to relax, enjoy morning coffee, spend time with family and friends, or unwind after a day at the beach.

Best of all, a beach access point is located directly across Puako Beach Road, making it easy to reach the shoreline throughout the day.

Discover Puako

Puako is one of the Kohala Coast’s most treasured residential beach communities.

Known for its laid-back atmosphere, dramatic sunsets, snorkeling, tide pools, and Hawaiian green sea turtles, Puako offers guests a very different experience from staying inside a large resort complex.

Take a morning walk along the shoreline, look for turtles resting near the coast, head out for a snorkel, or return in the evening to watch the sun disappear into the Pacific.

Close to the Kohala Coast’s Best Beaches

Mele Mele is also conveniently located near some of Hawaiʻi Island’s most popular beaches.

Beach 69 is nearby and is a favorite for swimming, snorkeling, shade, and relaxed beach days.

Hapuna Beach is also close by and is well known for its expansive white-sand shoreline and beautiful swimming conditions when the ocean is calm.

Having both so close gives guests plenty of options depending on the day and ocean conditions.

Between Mauna Lani and Mauna Kea Resorts

Mele Mele enjoys an excellent location between the Mauna Lani Resort and Mauna Kea Resort areas.

Guests can enjoy the peaceful residential atmosphere of Puako while still being close to resort amenities, including:

Restaurants and dining
Shopping
