Big Island Beachfront Dining with Lava Lava Beach Club
Now that you have arrived to your Hawaiian vacation to the Big Island, welcome home! One of the best parts about renting a Big Island Villa with Exotic Estates is the ability to prepare meals in your gourmet kitchen. However, don’t forget to schedule a few nights to explore and taste some of the local restaurants!
We found one of our favorites on the Big Island, Lava Lava Beach Club. There is no better place to enjoy the beauty of a Big Island sunset while sipping a delicious Hawaiian cocktail than on the comfy chairs at this fun beachfront venue!
Located on Anaeho’omalu Bay in the legendary Waikoloa Beach Resort, Lava Lava Beach Club is the ideal destination for your worry-free dream getaway or special event. With beachfront venues and event services in the family, LLBC is all about service with Aloha and location, location, location!
This Big Island restaurant is known for island-inspired cuisine, creative cocktails, and “toes in the sand” ambiance. This is the spot to unwind, make memories, all while feeling the warm sand between your toes. Family-friendly, it’s the perfect spot for a night out with the kids!

Attention Brides
If you are a bride planning a Big Island destination wedding, keep the Lava Lava Beach Club in mind for your reception, as most homes do not allow events. Coupling the vacation home experience with a reception location like this is magical and much more memorable than holding everything at an impersonal hotel. The Lava Lava Beach Club is conveniently located within the Waikoloa Resort, where we have homes, or within a short drive from Mauna Lani, Mauna Kea, or Hualalai Resorts.
