Hulihee Palace, Royal palace in Kailua-Kona, United States.
The stone and coral structure contains six large rooms and two oceanfront lanai arranged over multiple levels facing the Pacific Ocean.
Governor John Adams Kuakini constructed this palace in 1838 using local lava rock during the reign of King Kamehameha III.
The museum displays Hawaiian royal artifacts including koa wood furniture, portraits, traditional quilts, ornaments, and examples of feather work.
Visitors can join docent-guided tours from Wednesday to Friday by reservation, while self-guided tours operate on Saturdays between 10:00 and 16:00.
Each month, the palace grounds host cultural events featuring hālau hula performances where families gather to celebrate Hawaiian traditions.
