Visiting Hawaii’s Kailua-Kona and
looking for something fun and exciting to do? Then a trip to the
Keauhou Shopping Center is definitely the thing for you!
The Keauhou Shopping Center (KSC) is a short distance away from
Kailua-Kona, located in Keauhou Resort near Alii Drive. It
presents an ideal holiday package deal for those searching for
the perfect combination of family activities, shopping,
traditional arts and heritage crafts info about Hawaii and great
local as well as world cuisine tasting opportunities!
A day’s trip to Keauhou Shopping Center is sure to prove just
the right way to set the holiday mood going!
If you visit during the morning and stay on till the afternoon,
balmy Kona breezes tease your senses as you watch the Keauhou
Bay’s magnificent blue merging into the horizon and take a
moment to realize the immensity of natural beauty so abundantly
available for those who have the heart to pause and see.
For truly amazing picture postcard photographs that you could
also use as gift ideas if you make printable items like
T-shirts, mugs, mouse-pads or calendars, we recommend using your
zoom feature on the camera while standing at the al-fresco
skirting at Keahou shopping mall.
You can also phone in at the center to find out their week’s
program. This is one shopping mall in Hawaii that has several
regular and some special group events planned across various
categories: great for visitors who wish for something different,
or more!
Just dial in at 808/322-3000 and choose from a host of
shopping-plus experiences on offer – there’s movies at the
arcade, fine dining offered by Oriental and Mexican restaurants,
a Heritage Courtyard, the section reserved for learning local
handicrafts and traditional dances of Hawaii, besides lots of
musical talent just waiting to entertain you!
Enrich your shopping experience with some cultural flavor, fun
and condition yourself too – along with super shopping. For
example, for fitness freaks, there are morning and evening
cardio shaping, body sculpting and kickboxing sessions (30 –60
minutes each) besides Hula shows and lessons. Pick up tips on
Kupuna Crafts and learn creative skills like handcrafted leis at
the many workshops held at the Keauhou Shopping Center. But, if
you’re not dexterous with your hands or don’t have the time for
hobby-crafting, Alapaki’s located in the Keauhou Shopping Center
is a great bet for unique Islander gifts with the authentic
Hawaiian touch!! Be sure to visit them for decorative accents
and souvenirs with a distinctive Keauhou look to them!
Among the many boutique stores located here, the KTA super mall
and Longs Drugs are other must-visit stops for shopping lovers.
Incidentally, Longs Drugs store is also the pick-up and drop-off
point for the free Shuttle services offered as a tourist
convenience to those wanting to visit Keauhou Shopping Center
(open on all days, with different timings for some days).
For gourmet cuisine, Kenichi Pacific provides authentic sushi
while if you like more happening stuff, Peaberry & Galette is
the place to visit – a really hip café in Keauhou.
For a traditional perspective into Keauhou, a Saturday trip in
to the Shopping Center when the Farmer’s market is open from 8
am till the afternoon is a good bet: it’s the display and retail
platform for the Big Island’s farmers bringing in choicest local
produce of veggies, fruit, flowers and much more!
There’s live music too by local and visiting celebrity artistes
– so don’t forget to mark the Keauhou Shopping Center on your
travel itinerary!
