Hotels in The Big Island, United States

The Big Island of Hawaii is the youngest and most diverse in the chain, famous for its active volcanoes, black sand beaches, and Kona coffee. The climate varies by region: the Kona side stays sunny and dry year-round (average 80°F/27°C), perfect for snorkeling at Kealakekua Bay or touring coffee farms, while Hilo is wetter (average 75°F/24°C), making summer the best time for exploring Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and Rainbow Falls. Winter brings cooler temps (around 70°F/21°C) and bigger surf, ideal for watching the sunrise from Mauna Kea's summit, while spring offers fewer crowds and lower hotel rates on the sunny Kohala Coast.
