Rosewood announced Wednesday that the renovated property about 19 miles (30 kilometers) north of Kailua-Kona will have 150 stand-alone guest hales.
The resort plans to reopen the original Shipwreck Bar and Talk Story Bar and add a spa, multiple swimming pools and other amenities.
This will be Rosewood’s first property in Hawaii.
Kennedy Wilson took over the resort in 2016 after a foreclosure lawsuit was filed against the resort’s former owner.
The resort originally opened in 1965.
