Ask anyone who lives here and you’ll hear the same thing: fall is when the Kona Coast is at its best. The summer rush eases, Aliʻi Drive settles into a slower rhythm, and the ocean stays warm and glassy long after the mainland has traded shorts for sweaters. Mornings are made for coffee on the lanai and a quiet snorkel before the crowds arrive. Evenings belong to those long, golden Kona sunsets that seem to last forever.
It’s also, quietly, the smartest time to come. Rates soften, calendars open up, and the whole coast feels a little more like it belongs to you. Manta rays still glide through Keauhou Bay after dark. The reef fish at Kahaluʻu are as vivid as ever. And you can actually get a table at your favorite spot in town.
To make it easy, we’ve hand-picked four of our favorite Kona stays for the season — and we’re taking 10% off each one this fall when you book with code GETAWAY.

Aliʻi Villas 229 — A beautifully upgraded, two-bedroom oceanfront villa with shoreline access and one of the best kitchens on Aliʻi Drive. Five minutes from downtown Kailua-Kona and steps from the water — perfect for couples or a small family who like to be close to the action.
Aliʻi Villas 236 — Ocean views from both bedrooms, a big, breezy lanai built for morning coffee, and natural trade-wind cooling right on the Ironman course. Single-level and easy, five minutes from town. A laid-back base for beach days and coastal walks.
