Shops on the Kohala Coast

When staying at one of the famous 5-star oceanfront resorts on the Kohala Coast, like Waikoloa Beach Resort, Mauna Lani Beach Resort or Mauna Kea Beach Resort, visitors will naturally find all the fancy stores and galleries they have come to expect at those hotels. You will find best hotel shopping at the Hilton Waikoloa Village, which has the biggest variety of retail stores at the Kohala Coast hotels. However, as travelers don't always want to buy top of the line gifts or clothes, when looking for some Hawaiian gift to take home for a friend, there are more shopping options available on your Kohala Coast vacation.

Kings Shops at Waikoloa Beach Resort

The long established Kings Shops at Waikoloa Beach Resort have definitely more shops than any other shopping area on the Kohala Coast. In addition to stores which offer designer clothes and brand name labels, the vacationer may also find regular priced items like gifts, souvenirs, Hawaiian casual apparel and beach items at a huge variety of stores. The most affordable Hawaiian clothes (T-shirts, wraps, flipflops), Hawaiian books for kids, beach bags and groceries for breakfast, lunch, picnics can be bought at the Whaler's General Store. More regular groceries can be bought at our local market KTA at Waikoloa Village, about a 10min drive from Waikoloa Beach Resort.

The Kings Shops also feature daily and nightly entertainment, with Hawaiian hula performances & story telling at night, slackkey guitar playing by famous Big Island musician John Keawe & petroglyph walks at day. Shopping at the Kings Shops is a unique Hawaii shopping experience for the entire family!

Queen's Marketplace at Waikoloa Beach Resort

In addition to the Kings Shops, another brandnew shopping market opened recently, just across from the Kings Shops. It's The Queen's Marketplace. With lots of new condos and townhouses in the Waikoloa Beach Resort area, next to the familiar hotels, like the Marriott and the Hilton, more appropriate shopping options needed to be developed for vacationers on the Kohala Coast. Kings Shops and the Queens Marketplace accommodate visitors' and residents' shopping needs and wishes alike. This is the best shopping in the Kohala Coast resort area
