Luxuriously Appointed Bali Temple Has 160 Degree Ocean Views!

Located right at the Pacific Ocean ~ Bali Temple offers 160-degree Ocean Views and a wonderfully relaxing and peaceful Hawaii experience that will leave you fully rejuvenated.
Bali Temple is truly a unique and special place to spend your time in Hawaii, and is known for its dramatic setting, beautiful architecture, and luxuriously well-appointed amenities.

Bali Temple is located adjacent to the 1993 lava flow which has created 160 degrees of glorious, expansive Pacific Ocean and whitewater views for your enjoyment. There is a private black sand beach a few hundred yards away to enjoy year-round sunrises and sunsets and watch the humpback whales breaching during the winter months.
Bali Temple enjoys a fully equipped modern kitchen, double vanity sinks, 6’ spa bathtub, granite, gorgeous Mahogany wood trim accents, expansive picture windows looking out to the ocean, large mirrors, a covered lanai, Tempur-Pedic mattresses, 100% cotton bedding, and thick bath towels.

Bali Temple is located on the top floor of a 2-story house and is fully contained with its own entrance, stairway, and amenities. It is 100% private. Ocean Temple, VRBO # 1247897, is located on the main floor of the house and is fully contained with its own entrance. Cottage at the Ocean, VRBO# 654541 is located in the separate cottage next door. There is a laundry room off of the house with its own entrance that all guests have access to. Contact me to learn about special rates when renting more than one of these properties at the same time.

All units are ideal for 2 people. We offer a sanctuary setting, where guests come to retreat from the hustle and bustle of their worlds, to deeply relax, recharge, and renew themselves amidst the beautiful natural setting that surrounds us. All guests are asked to maintain this sacred container when on the property.

When my visitors depart Bali Temple, they feel refreshed, invigorated, and much more vibrant than when they arrived. The air along our coastline has been measured to be the cleanest in the United States! The lush greenery and scenic coastline areas are inspiring.

There are many spectacular sites to visit during your stay: visit Kehena Beach, a gorgeous black sand beach where you may be lucky to swim and snorkel with wild spinner dolphins, and your (non) clothing is optional. Check out the numerous Volcano Touring activities such as: Volcano National Park, Lava Tree State Park, and Lava Hikes.

Experience an abundance of shopping for the true tastes of Hawaii with its abundant selections of fresh fruits, vegetables, fish, flowers, and unique gift items at either Maku'u Market in Pahoa (Sunday morning), the Kaimu Market (Saturday morning, and ½ mile away from Bali Temple!) complete with authentic Hawaiian music and locally made crafts and treasures, and the Hilo Farmer's Market (7 days a week).

Acquaint yourself with the Island flora with a tour at the Botanical Gardens, sightsee and explore numerous waterfalls, Whale Watch from the lanai, indulge yourself with fine Dining, and dance it all off at Ecstatic Dance on Sundays at Kalani, and then the Drum Circle on Sunday afternoon at Kehena Beach. There are numerous Yoga Classes, Pilates Classes, and massage therapists ready to treat you!

Dining options from Bali Temple are numerous: Right in the neighborhood is an authentic Ava Bar, serving up the local and relaxing Kava beverage, with the Kalapana Village Café right next door, open til 9pm. Kalani Honua is 4 miles down the Red Road for delicious meals too. 9 miles up the road is Pahoa Town, with numerous options in Italian, Thai, Sushi, Mexican, Kaleo’s Bar and Grill, coffee shops, etc. Hilo is 30 miles for many more choices.

If you are seeking a retreat from the rest of the world, amidst luxurious accommodations, and a perfect springboard location to the rest of the island's activities, in an Old-World Hawaii setting only Lower Puna can offer, then Bali Temple is perfect for you.

I look forward to your visit at Bali Temple…see you soon!

Overall, the room was a pleasant stay for us—quiet and with great views. When we checked out, I accidentally left my AirPods in the room, and the host kindly promised to mail them back. However, after the stay, I contacted the host multiple times over the past month and also asked Expedia to help follow up regarding the return of the AirPods, but I have not received any response. I’m leaving this review in hopes of getting an update on their return.

This was an amazing place. Even more beautiful in person, both inside as well as the views. So comfortable and relaxing. Our last day, we hiked out to the ocean and on down the lava flows behind the house. It was gorgeous and one of our favorites of all the things we did on our vacation.

We spent 8 nights at Bali Temple and now feel refreshed and renewed. The home is beautiful, peaceful and well appointed with everything you might need. In addition to waking up with the sun rising over the lava; lapping ocean; swaying palm trees and roosters crowing, the temple house also has a full kitchen, books, puzzles and games; everything you need for the beach and snorkeling; binoculars for whale watching and so much more. It is a bit remote, but for us that was a plus. The only thing I would change is to add steps to both sides of the very high bed (perhaps 3 to 3.5 feet from the floor). It’s a true paradise and definitely worth a stay.

Absolutely gorgeous view. Completely different experience seeing the lava fields. We enjoyed watching the sunrises at the edge of the ocean. It’s only a about a four or five minute walk from the house and it’s easy to pack a chair to sit in. The unit itself is beautiful. We loved having the air conditioning and really didn’t need it too much but it was very nice to have. The condo itself is clean and up-to-date. The bed is very comfortable. Best one I’ve ever slept in at any VRBO. Pahoa is just a quick drive away and Hilo is only about 45 or 50 minutes if you plan to avoid traffic. The owner was easy to get a hold of and we had a great time. We hope to be back!
