Villa Lava, was the perfect base for our Big island adventure and my bucket list trip for the Ironman World Championships. Only a 40min drive out of Kona it meant I was able to easily drive in and out of the event centre as needed but also afforded us the space and feel of a relaxing holiday destination with everything provided to enjoy the beach or as a base point for road trips, if I am fortunate to ever return to the Big island we would definitely look to return to Villa Lava
