The best location for an individual or couple to experience the countryside of the Big Island. Staying at Absolute Paradise feels like you are staying directly in the middle of the jungle. The thoughtful and useful landscaping is absolutely divine. 5 minute walk to the entrance of the wonderful local Kehena Black Sand beach and 5 min hike down the volcanic cliffs. Entrance to the beach is a little hard to find but just ask a local! 20 min to Pahoa Village for gas/groceries/dinner- Kaleo’s and Peles Kitchen is a must! Don’t forget to book a Farm Tour with Peles Kitchen. 45 min to Hilo if you are looking for some fine dining or a visit to the Hilo Farmers Market. 1 hr to Umauma Falls for a zip line or horseback adventure. 2 hrs to the Kona side of the island for more of a touristy vibe. Or if you wanted to do nothing at all, Absolute Paradise is the perfect place!! So much more than we expected!!! The host was so kind and informative. He gave us a tour of the property and brought us fruit from the trees on the grounds. The experience here at Absolute Paradise and on the Big Island in general was nothing short of a dream come true!!!
