As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.
From the Milky Way as seen from the summit of Hawaii’s tallest mountains to April’s upcoming meteor shower, we are obsessed with the night sky above the Hawaiian Islands. This unique vacation rental is perfect for astronomy enthusiasts, and we can’t wait to show you. By day, this dreamy Airbnb is a magnificent home-base for your Hawaii Island adventures, and by night, it is one of the best places to watch the stars glisten overhead in Hawaii — and maybe even the world.
Nestled on a private ranch near the Hawaii Island town of Kealakekua, this one-of-a-kind dome is perfect for a fairytale honeymoon, glamping adventure, or unique getaway.
Lush natural surroundings, including acres upon acres of guava trees, make this private ranch a must-visit. Be sure to wave hello to the friendly cows and pigs that wander freely around the property.
Step inside and you’ll find a cozy space sure to make you feel right at home. The dome features a bathroom and guests can choose from one king-size bed or two XL twin beds depending on their needs.
And while the accommodations here are comfortable, to say the least, it’s the setting that makes this spot so dreamy. With no light or noise pollution, the private ranch and expansive windows of the Airbnb is an idyllic place to do a little stargazing.
Before the night sky makes its arrival, though, you’ll want to experience a signature Hawaiian sunset from this dramatic dome. The sky comes alive in a sea of vibrant colors as the sun slips beyond the horizon here, and you’ll want to snap a few photos to document the beauty.
Though there is no kitchen in the unit, there is a shared kitchen just a minute’s walk from the dome on the second floor of the host’s home, accessible 24/7 from the stairs outside.
Running on solar power and nestled at 3,200 feet above sea level, this off-the-grid oasis sure is stunning — and with rates starting at just $150 per night, it’s affordable, too!
