WILD VANILLA COTTAGES

With floor to ceiling stunning views of the wild jungle of Hawaii, the cottages are a destination in themselves. 

The Main cottage has an open air concept (screens, no windows) with a cozy living room with a queen size Murphy bed, bathroom (with sink and flush toilet) and kitchen with filtered harvested water, a small fridge, large sink, ample storage and a 2 burner propane stove.

There is an outdoor shower with open views of the jungle.

For guests needing additional sleeping space, we have a sleeping cottage close to the main cottage with a King and Queen size bed that can added to accommodate up to 2 more guests.

Just a short walk from your cottage you will find the Wild Vanilla Spa, which offers a large soaking tub, massage therapy and acupuncture (it is recommended to book ahead to ensure availability during your stay).

When you arrive you will have your own parking space where you will find a path that takes you down to your secluded jungle cottage surrounded by nature. This will be your own private sanctuary for your stay, a few minutes away from where the owners/stewards live.

SEE WHAT OUR GUESTS ARE SAYING

I can’t emphasize enough how much we loved our stay. Having a clean and tasteful cottage to ourselves in the middle of a lush jungle on a vanilla farm was a one of a kind experience. The host was warm and friendly, and made everything feel effortless.

The cottage was calm and relaxing, the bed was very comfortable and waking up to the sounds of birds and the sun coming through the trees and flowers was so enchanting. Every kitchen detail has been considered from morning coffee to everything we needed to cook our meals. The outdoor shower was both really private and natural.

Getting the opportunity to get a first hand look at a working vanilla farm was one of the highlights of our stay. We booked massages for the day after we arrived. A short walk through the jungle took us to the spa where we were immersed in nature and enjoyed the most blissful 90 minutes of bodywork, followed by the soaking tub. Naomi’s hands are pure magic. This was such a natural and restorative stay!

It was a very special experience staying at Naomi’s beautiful place. She gave us sweet fruits and sourdough, both of which were yummy, thank you!

We also booked the massage and spa experience, which was exactly what we wanted. Peaceful, meditative, and professional. I highly recommend considering a massage too 🙂 I hope I can visit her beautiful place again.

We had a wonderful stay—this place is beautiful, unique, and incredibly peaceful. Everything was very clean and thoughtfully maintained. The hosts were so kind and welcoming. We loved the farm tour and getting to try fresh fruits—it made the experience extra special. The massage was also excellent and very relaxing.

Highly recommend for a calm, rejuvenating getaway!

I was very pleasantly surprised by my experience at Naomi’s. Her warm greeting upon arrival set a great tone for the stay. The atmosphere was very private and immersive in the surrounding rainforest. Would recommend to anyone wanting an off grid recharge weekend, or an interesting stop on a roadtrip around the island.

This was a basically perfect experience. The space and Naomi are both delightful. Well styled, beautiful setting and well appointed. I’d love to wake there for the rest of my life! Thanks.

Our stay at Wild Vanilla Farm was truly life-changing for our family of four. Surrounded by the alive jungle, we loved the outdoor shower, picking tangerines straight from the trees, and feeling the powerful presence of the nearby volcano. The land itself carries an incredible energy.

Our hosts were exceptional: generous with their knowledgeof and passion for vanilla growing and their deep care for place, for one another, and for the more-than-human world, while also giving us ample space to fully enjoy our stay. We learned so much and fell even more deeply in love with the Earth in all her tropical expressions.

The main cottage was a perfect home base for us, with our children happily settled in the separate sleeping cottage. Spacious, peaceful, and unforgettable.

Luxurious exotic, secretive, and welcoming! We’ve traveled the globe to 41 countries and this is our favorite! Book the spa! you will have five star treatment in the most secluded forest you have ever seen! The massage the bathing I can’t rate one thing over another. I give it 50 stars if I could, we will be back. This is going to be our yearly worth every penny pamper ourselves splurge! This cost us 1/4 the price of the top level spas we’ve been to around the world and it’s the best one by far!

Keti

Hands-down the best mini-vacation we’ve taken on the Big Island! We needed to get away from the day-to-day, and I could not have dreamed of a better place to do so than this jungle cottage.

First off, the cottage is absolutely beautiful, and the large screen windows made us feel like part of the jungle (but with perfect comfort and amenities). My wife was a bit concerned beforehand about critters and all that, but it was not an issue.

Second, the place is immaculate in terms of cleanliness, amenities, and linens. We’ve been in Hawaii for a while, and keeping everything dry and clean does take effort. It was clear that Naomi and her husband, Todd, cared deeply about the place and about our experience.

And despite all the professionalism they embody in running this luxury retreat, they also brought a very human, friendly vibe that helped make our visit a pure pleasure!

Björn

Words hardly capture how grateful we are to have found Naomi and her tropical hideaway. This place is a true gem, tucked into a lush, vibrant food forest with ripe fruits growing just steps from the door. The cottage is beautiful and impeccably clean, with screened windows that invite the sounds and warmth of the jungle in while still feeling cozy and protected. Mornings spent making fresh coffee to the sounds of birds singing was simply magical. If you have the chance to book a massage with Naomi, do it! The spa experience is beyond luxurious and unlike anything you’d find at a typical resort. The care and intentionality Naomi and Todd have poured into this land and space is incredible. We can’t recommend it highly enough and are already planning our next trip back!
