**Our Land:**
Spanning vast, remote acreage, our retreat offers numerous outdoor spaces to explore. Experience holistic, healthy living in this haven. The trade winds keep the North Shore comfortably cool without needing air-conditioning. Our water comes from a volcanic aquifer, providing delicious alkaline water that enhances your well-being. We also offer organic greens, eggs, fruits, and coconut kefir for purchase.

We are a family and community-run retreat, welcoming guests with open arms. During check-in, we’ll guide you around our beautiful property and share the principles of regenerative living. We are honored to share this special place with you—a responsible traveler who understands the importance of supporting the local community and protecting the fragile environment of this island.

**Where You’ll Be Staying:**
The Dolphin Room is inspired by the pioneering work of dolphin scientist Dr. John C. Lilly. It features a collection of his books and dolphin-themed art, including Andrew Annenberg’s famous painting, “Guardians of the Grail.” Let the dolphin’s playful spirit inspire your joy and creativity.

The en-suite bathroom is a masterpiece, featuring a hand-carved sandstone dolphin and a rain shower with LED lights that create a soothing ambiance. The room’s bamboo bed is perfect for singles or couples, offering a unique charm that enhances your stay.

Sliding glass doors open to stunning views of a Brazilian pepper tree and the ocean beyond. The Dolphin Room is not just a place to stay—it’s a space to connect deeply with nature and yourself.

**Explore Our Property:**
Our eco-friendly buildings are adorned with spiritual art and handcrafted masterpieces from the Pacific and Asia. Surrounded by lush jungle, flower gardens, fruit trees, and an easily accessible waterfall, this land is perfect for wandering and meditation. For the adventurous, our moderately challenging ocean trail offers breathtaking views and the possibility of spotting dolphins, turtles, or even whales in the winter.

**Additional Features:**
- **Yoga & Meditation:** Start your day with a serene yoga session exclusive to our guests.
- **Micro Weddings & Elopements:** Celebrate your love with an intimate ceremony infused with Hawaiian spirit, officiated by Kutira, a licensed officiant with over 30 years of experience.

This place is a true slice of heaven. We stayed in a house with its own kitchen and dining area and a garden terrace with a stunning view over the ocean surrounded by incredible nature.. it has access to a private waterfall which is one of the most beautiful and enchanting places I've ever been. I can't recommend this place highly enough. Everyone was wonderful and our stay was amazing. I hope we will be back

Most beautiful place that we have ever stayed. Very isolated and quiet. Way better than staying at the crowded resorts.

Heavenly Oasis
My daughter wanted a tropical oasis she could relax in for her 18th birthday. This was the perfect place. Everyone was extremely friendly. The grounds were stunning & the room was comfortable and had everything we needed. We will definitely try and go back in the future. This place was a great soul refresher for us both.

Retirement trip
My husband and are both retired now and wanted to stay somewhere where no crowds, traffic and noise would bother us. Our stay was completely restful and quiet. We left refreshed, having experiencing beautiful sunrises from the Dolphin Room each morning. Our hosts were very friendly and are proud of their sustainability efforts. With such lush beauty surrounding them, it is with great joy that they share the love of their land with their guests.
