Description

~ ALOHA ~

Come Enjoy A Magical, Memorable, LifeChanging Experience Here at Pele's Feet ~

Feel free to check out our 200+ Five Star Reviews! : )

~ ALOHA! ~

Come enjoy an Epic, Unique, and Unforgettable Vacation here in this supercharged, elemental power spot -- 4 miles away from the base of the most active Volcano on Earth! Here in our Magical Sanctuary on the Lava -- some of the newest land on Earth -- you can often see the glow of red molten lava in the distance, from your bedside!

Gorgeous Kalapana has arguably, the best weather on the island -- sunny, dry, breezy, and almost NO MOSQUITOS! Located conveniently near Pahoa town (15 min drive), as well as Uncle Robert's (Amazing, festive night market on Wed nights!), Kehena Black Sand Beach (swim with dolphins!); yet very remote, peaceful, meditative and MAGICAL!

Here, we live with the elements -- you are surrounded by dramatic black lava fields, you have a front-row seat to Pele's Volcano Home, the ocean sparkles on the horizon, and there's always a cool windy breeze! So in the daytime, you can swim with wild dolphins at the Black Sand Beach (10 minutes away), and at night you can sometimes see the sky glowing red and watch Pele's fire coming down the volcano, underneath a gorgeous blanket of stars..

The Temple is a unique, hand-crafted, two-story, off-the-grid, open-air loft. It was built mindfully, with Skylights, windows / storm shutters in all directions, and a 360 degree view of Ocean & Lava, taking into account the intensely beautiful & powerful environment of Pele's home. So you can enjoy your epic view, yet sleep sheltered and peaceful.

The Temple is open, spacious, and elegantly furnished.

There are 3 main sleeping areas:

Upstairs Loft has Queen size bed, Balinese altars & Double Daybed upstairs;

Downstairs Bamboo Room has Canopy-style Full Bed;

Downstairs Sunrise Room is the most private and enclosed, with a comfy Full Bed (perfect for older people or those that want more privacy and enclosure).

There is also a Trundle Double Day Bed downstairs in the main living room. 1-6 people can stay here, though sometimes we have hosted 8!

You will have ample electricity, hi-speed wifi internet, clean linens and towels, fully-stocked kitchen (with citrus juicer, Nutribullet blender, stove, fridge, tea, spices, etc), private pretty bathroom with hot shower & lava-stone floor & flush toilet, considerate hosts, etc. : ) Perfect for yoga, writing, meditation, cleansing, hiking to the lava, or just a magical stay in Puna!

The Magical Lava Temple lies in close proximity to numerous Eco-destinations and community activities:

* The famous "Red Road" (one of the "Top 10 most beautiful drives in America") (2 min away)

* Kalapana-Kaimu's Authentic Local Hawaiian Style weekly Farmer's Markets on Wednesday Nights, and Saturday Mornings featuring the finest local people, music, yummy foods & crafts, Uncle's Awa Bar--a festive scene not to be missed! (2 min)

* Kehena [Clothing Optional] Beach w/Sunbathing, Swimming, Sunday Drum Circle, Dolphins & Whales

* Pahoa town - A 15 minute drive gets you to Restaurants, Health food store, Shopping, Pharmacy and Services in historic Pahoa Village.

PAHOA, HAWAII was just awarded 2nd place in Outside Magazine's Travel Awards 2014 for "Best Adventure Hub"!

PeleMa has blessed us to be the Caretakers of this Sacred Sanctuary. We are joyous, kind, compassionate, considerate and respectful.

When possible, we also offer the following:

- Airport Pick Up (Hilo is about 45 minutes away)

- Sacred Sightseeing & Guided Tours

- Private Customized Kundalini Yoga / Chakra Balancing

- Sound Healing with Gong Baths & Tuning Forks

- Emotional Trauma Resolution

- Soul Rebirthing

Please inquire for more info.

We look forward to welcoming you to the magical Big Island!

Love & Blessings ~~~ : )

House rules

Thanks for staying with us!

We love living offgrid, here are some things you should know.
We harness our power from the sun and catch our water from the sky.
So plz be more conservative with power at night.

You can leave the storm shutters up, but if you want you can bring them down GENTLY. Use the wooden staff to help.

Noise travels easily on the lava, so quiet hours are from 9pm - 8am.

Please don't invite other people over.
Please no drugging or partying in the house.

Thanks!
