Kona Village achieves the ultimate in recycling - the resort dries the fronds from some 2,000 coconut trees dotting its 82-acres and uses those same fronds as roof thatching for all structures, including the 125 guest hale (ha-lay, or bungalows).

From those same coconut trees comes the resort's do-not-disturb signs; a coconut placed outside a hale door means "do-not-disturb."

The resort uses only low-level landscape lighting so as not to interfere with the Big Island's important astronomy centers atop Mauna Kea.

Ocean trade winds cool the rooms along with ceiling fans. No air-conditioning consumes needless electricity. Additionally, the resort has no telephones and no televisions in-room which also reduces electricity use and noise pollution.

Landscaping is left to grow in as natural a state as possible. You won't hear leaf blowers at Kona Village. And sandy pathways are the norm vs. concrete paved walkways.

In the kitchens at Kona Village locally-sourced foods dominate the menus.
