About this experience

Nightclubs in Puako are a rare find on the Big Island's Kohala Coast, with no dedicated nightclub venues in the small community itself. Visitors typically travel to nearby Waikoloa or Kona for evening dance floors, DJ sets, and late-night bars. The Puako area offers quieter sunset lounges and resort bars that transition into social nightlife after dark.

What to expect

  • No standalone nightclubs exist within Puako; the nearest options are 10-15 minutes by car in Waikoloa Village or 30 minutes south in Kailua-Kona.
  • Resort bars at Mauna Lani and Fairmont Orchid provide live music, craft cocktails, and open-air seating until 11 pm most nights.
  • Weekend DJ events at Lava Lava Beach Club (Waikoloa) run from 9 pm to 1 am, with a dance floor on sand and a fire pit.
  • Kona's club scene, such as Humpy's Big Island Alehouse, offers late-night dancing until 2 am on Fridays and Saturdays.
  • Most Puako-area nightlife suits adults 21 and over; no cover charges at resort lounges, but club entry fees range from $10 to $20.
  • Designated driver services and taxi shuttles operate between Puako and Waikoloa until 2 am, as roads are unlit and winding.
