Aloha CAL-ABOTA Friends:

We are headed back to the Big Island of Hawaii this year. While the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel undergoes a major renovation starting this spring, we will be holding this year’s conference at the recently and beautifully renovated Mauna Lani (Auberge Resorts Collection), Travel + Leisure’s #1 Resort on the Island of Hawaii.

Nestled along the stunning Kohala Coast and in the spiritual center of five great mountains, Mauna Lani is a sacred oasis. In 2018, the resort closed its doors to undergo a massive, $200 million renovation. Reopened in 2020, the new Mauna Lani is fresh and contemporary but still retains its old Hawaiian spirit. The royal ancient fishponds and the iconic and beloved CanoeHouse Restaurant remain. New are the guestrooms, which have been completely remodeled, an impressive open-space lobby, additional dining outlets, boutique shops and two pools with one catering only to adults.

Check out this video to get a sense of Mauna Lani's magic!

We hope you will make plans with friends and family to join us for this week of relaxed fun, connection and famed ABOTA tradition and camaraderie.

Mahalo,

Greg Rizio, CAL-ABOTA President
Joe McMonigle, CAL-ABOTA President-Elect/Conference Chair
