Since Mauna Lani's inception the resort has been at the forefront of environmental stewardship.  As we continue to add new amenities and programs, we always do so with an eye toward remaining true to the Hawaiian practice of malama 'aina, or responsible stewardship of the land. Preserving Hawaii's resources, environment and culture is an important aspect of the resort experience at Mauna Lani.  Mauna Lani also incorporates responsible stewardship by creating eco-friendly green meetings.
