At one time, in past generations, Hawai‘i Island adapted to being 100% sustainable while supporting over one million people. In a unique and efficient system defined by land divisions called ahapua‘a, folks who lived in the mountains traded hardwoods and other products with folks who lived near the ocean and had aquaculture in place. Farmers in fresh water regions grew taro and vegetables to trade with fishermen and salt-makers, and so on. This balanced and sustainable society produced excess, and the population was able to take time off every year—for the feasting, games and celebration of the Makahiki.
Secluded resort eatery serving locally sourced, regional cuisine in an open-air, oceanfront setting.

This place is an absolute gem! The location offers breathtaking views, and the food and service were simply incredible. The only downside is that if you’re not staying at the resort and you’re visiting during lunch, you’ll have to park your car a mile away and then walk to the restaurant. But other than that, I highly recommend this place.

The pork sandwich was delicious. Had a nice sweet note from the barbecue, with a little tang from the coleslaw. Wished it came with a side of fries. The virgin lava flow was SO good.

We came here for our last dinner on the short trip to the Big Island and enjoyed it a lot. Every dish is delicious and inspiring; the chef’s creativity creates a “wow” moment.
Also, we appreciate the way of serving dishes. Since we couldn’t eat a regular portion in America, we informed that we are going to share all the dishes ordered. Then they served every dish as already-separate dishes for each person. I appreciate this consideration so much.
I really regret that I didn’t order dessert since I was almost full. I’m sure that you shouldn’t miss it although I haven’t tried yet, since others are really good.
I highly recommend this restaurant to the foodie first-time visitors to the Big Island.

We had dinner at Napua for our anniversary and were treated like honored guests. Everything about Napua was top notch. The location is beautiful close to the beach. It’s a smaller restaurant so it feels more intimate and service was excellent and full of aloha. The ambiance was comfortable with live music. The food was stellar. The options are locally inspired, flavorful and hearty. I would highly recommend Napua.

The food is comically awful. Of course it’s overpriced since it’s beachfront in Hawaii— happy to pay the premium! But I ordered chicken fingers for me kids, added and “extra finger” for +$2… and got a a few freezer burned chicken nuggets and fries. I think with tax and tip it was $24? I laughed to keep from crying.

From the customer service to the way the food was prepared and the ambiance everything was a 5 star. I barely give reviews but this one deserves it. Angie was our server and she is amazing!! The Ribeye with side of coin potatoes was unbelievably good. The aioli was a perfect match with the crispy potatoes. The steak was cook perfect (medium rare) and had a delicious sauce with it. The guava sticky ribs were also good! The Caesar salad was good and the banana lumpia also. My bf and I shared everything and we were very full at the end! Angie was super knowledgeable and friendly and gave great recommendations. Would fly back to big island from Oahu anytime to dine here again!! Oh and the sunset was beautiful!! 🙂 highly recommend!

One of the most special places on the island. Every time I visit I have a magical experience at Napua. Their staff is exceptional and make you feel like family. The atmosphere and setting on the beach front couldn’t be more amazing. I had the best Octopus I’ve ever tasted and have never left disappointed in my meal. Truly everything is perfect.

Nice place but no sunset view. Red wine served refrigerator cold, we had to warm with hands. For the price, casual service “ya want pepper on that?” No share plates. No flatware replacement.
Food was fine not anything great. I got the Opa special that came well cooked (she said it was like salmon, so think over cooked salmon). But shiitake cream sauce hides a lot of sins. Hubs got the rack of lamb that was good but the Portuguese style was out of place.
The crudo app was chef’s choice fish so I was hoping for an assortment of local fish like kampachi but it was just ahi and more ahi.
Off our list.
Open air, windy at times.

Beautiful, relaxing oceanfront atmosphere. Food was delicious. Guests not staying at Mauna Lani can still eat at Napua but need to park at public parking available in a small parking lot at Kalahuipua’a Historic Park. From there, it’s a 15-minute walk along a scenic trail to the Beach Club. The walk and lunch was a great way to spend our time before our evening flight back to the East Coast of the USA.

Generally good experience. The BBQ rib was a recommendation from our server, I’m glad we get it – it’s cooked to perfection with juicy and tender inside and a crispy and lightly charred outside. The sauce is not overly potent either. The nights special gnocchi is delicious, the spinach sauce showcases the sweetness and flavor of spinach and it surprisingly goes well with seafood. The tomatoes and grilled cauliflowers inside are also big hit – you can taste the natural flavor of them. The mahi mahi is a bit disappointing – it has the bit itchy undertone and feels overcooked. Fruit cobbler featuring local pineapple and papaya is probably the best cobbler I had, even though it’s way too sweet to my taste but it’s still amazing. You can taste the charred caramel and it brings out the pineapple flavor so well like it’s grilled pineapple. I’d prefer the vanilla icecream to be a more bland one to not overpowering in sweetness.
Service is good, I’d not call it exceptional and they seem don’t care if it’s any special occasion at all. But other than that there is nothing wrong.
It’s a quiet and lovely place for special occasions.
