Hawaii's Newest Boutique Hotel on the Big Island Has a Pool, Fire Pits, and Chic Rooms With Private Lanais

Drawing inspiration from Kailua-Kona's distinct landscapes and colors, Honolulu-based design studio The Vanguard Theory has dressed the guest rooms in an earthy palette of green, black, taupe, and white. Each room comes with its own "macro bar" stocked with snacks and adventure gear (think: sunblock and snorkels) for purchase. Black-and-white photographs depicting local scenery line the walls, while spacious private lanais invite guests outside.
