The perfect space for any celebration
With our private bar, dining lanai, and dance floor so close to the ocean - you’ll feel as if you’ve stepped out onto a ship. We can accommodate any private party or event at Papa Kona such as welcome parties, rehearsal dinners, brunches, private family reunions, birthdays, and so much more!
host your special event in style
Our second-floor private event space features an indoor bar for cocktail hour and mingling, a dance floor with room for a DJ or band, and outdoor dining under the stars. We can comfortably welcome up to 110 of your employees, closest friends, or family for sit down dining!
The Lanai follows the coastline here in Kona, allowing for 270-degree views of Ōneo Bay, the open Pacific Ocean, and stunning sunsets. Ask your Event Coordinator about our venue layout options, ranging from conversational cocktail-style seating to formal gala-style tables.
Outside entertainment welcome or ask for recommendations from your Event Coordinator!
