- ROSEWOOD IMPACTS
Living lightly on the land was not just vital to Kona Village’s redevelopment; it was a pledge to the lineal descendants of Ka`ūpūlehu. A vibrant example of Rosewood Sustains, the resort is one of the largest privately owned microgrids in the state, using solar power provided by over 8,000 solar panels on two acres. Kona Village also has a zero-waste initiative with a reverse osmosis and wastewater treatment plants on-site, thus cementing the resort as a leader in green hospitality.
Fresh From the Earth Flavors
The resort is home to an on-site farm, Kahiko Māla`ai. A delectable rainbow of produce thrives in the carefully nourished soil, growing an average of 500-800 pounds of vegetables, fruits, and herbs every month.
Local Hawai`i Island Farms
Approximately 70 percent of all ingredients used in the resort’s restaurants come directly from Hawai`i Island, thanks to integral relationships with local farmers and fishermen.
Sustainable Service
Beyond menus and recyclable materials, we rely on sustainable practices to reduce our impact, including a waste management process where organic material is transported and fed to pigs on a nearby farm.
Partners in Provenance
Kona Village has connected with the island’s most skillful culinary talents to elevate its offerings, including Kona Sea Salt, Blue Ocean Mariculture, Hawaiian Vanilla Co., Wai Meli Honey, and more.
