**MAGICAL LAVA TEMPLE with EPIC Volcano Views**

~ ALOHA! ~

Come enjoy a Magic, Memorable Vacation, here at Pele's Feet, on some of the newest land on Earth ~

See the Volcano from your bedside!
Come experience this supercharged Power Spot -- with TuTu PELE, the Goddess of Volcano, here in my Magical Sanctuary on the newest land on Earth! Wraparound Volcano views, surrounded by black lava fields, amazing beaches and fun markets nearby ~~~

A unique, off-grid, elemental experience ~
(& Considerate Owner-Caretaker lives on site, nearby)


Here, we live with the elements -- you are surrounded by dramatic black lava fields, you have a front-row seat to Pele's Volcano Home, and there's always a cool windy breeze! So in the daytime, you can swim with wild dolphins at the Black Sand Beach (10 minutes away), and at night you can usually see a gorgeous blanket of stars..

The Temple is a unique, hand-crafted, two-story, off-the-grid, open-air loft. It was built mindfully, with Skylights, windows / storm shutters in all directions, and a 360 degree view of Ocean & Lava, taking into account the intensely beautiful & powerful environment of Pele's home. So you can enjoy your epic view, yet sleep sheltered and peaceful.

The Temple is open, spacious, and elegantly furnished.
There are 3 main sleeping areas:

* Upstairs Loft has Queen size bed, Balinese altars & Double Daybed upstairs;
* Downstairs Bamboo Room has Canopy-style Double Bed;
* Downstairs Sunrise Room is the most private and enclosed, with a comfy Full Bed (perfect for older people or those that want more privacy and enclosure).

* Fully stocked with Coffee, Tea, Sugar, Honey, Creamer; Olive Oil, Balsamic Vinegar, Spices; Shampoo, Conditioner, Bodywash; Bath & Beach Towels, Fresh Clean Linens ~ all provided.

* Kitchen has 2 Burner Camp Stove with small oven, Medium size Refrigerator, Nutribullet, French Press, Pots, pans, cutlery, bowls, cups, etc.

* Private pretty bathroom with hot shower & lava-stone floor & flush toilet, etc.

Perfect for yoga, writing, meditation, cleansing, hiking to the lava, or just a magical stay in Puna!

The Magical Lava Temple lies in close proximity to numerous Eco-destinations and community activities:

* The famous "Red Road" (one of the "Top 10 most beautiful drives in America") (2 min away)
* Kalapana-Kaimu's Authentic Local Hawaiian Style weekly Farmer's Markets on Wednesday Nights, and Saturday Mornings featuring the finest local people, music, yummy foods & crafts, Uncle's Awa Bar--a festive scene not to be missed! (2 min)
* Kehena [Clothing Optional] Beach w/Sunbathing, Swimming, Sunday Drum Circle, Dolphins & Whales
* Pahoa town - A 15 minute drive gets you to Restaurants, Health food store, Shopping, Pharmacy and Services in historic Pahoa Village.

PAHOA, HAWAII was just awarded 2nd place in Outside Magazine's Travel Awards 2014 for "Best Adventure Hub"!

* Please note, that the Temple is very unique, and not like a typical house. It's open, and there are no "regular doors" - (take a look at the pictures). Yet it's a super safe area and there's a private driveway, and we have never had issues. A considerate caretaker lives in the house behind, and we are on the property every day taking care of things.

Being off-grid there are some quirks, and some guidelines to follow to best enjoy the stay, for example:

We ask for Quiet Hours from 9pm-8am, as sound travels easy on the lava.
We do have sufficient power and pretty good wifi internet (can do zoom calls), and we do ask to please be conservative with power after dark as we then run on batteries. (You can still charge all your devices, but just turn off the big rope lights and dont leave lights on all night long).

We know this place is not for everyone.
If you are looking for the Hilton or the Four Seasons, this is NOT it.
If you are looking for an off-grid, magical, memorable, unique experience -- with epic, elemental nature, where you can get in touch with your own Primal Nature -- then this might be for you..



We love meeting our guests, and also giving you your own private time and space! : )

Black Lava Landscape framed by Active Volcano & Ocean! : )
Super memorable, unique, magical, and elemental! : )

At the feet of one of the most active volcanoes on Earth, yet comfy & accessible...

Gorgeous Kalapana is an eclectic, off-the-beaten-path, off grid neighborhood with some of the best weather on the island -- sunny, dry, breezy, and less mosquitos than everywhere else!

Located conveniently near Pahoa town (15 min drive), as well as Uncle Robert's (sweet farmer's market on Sat AM and Wednesday PM), Kehena Black Sand Beach (clothing-optional, swim with dolphins!), the historic coastal Red Road, and brand new Pohoiki beach— yet very remote, peaceful, meditative and MAGICAL!

5 min away from a lively night market (Uncle Robert's), store and nice beach; 15 min away from a Black Sand clothing optional swimming beach with dolphins; 20 min from Pahoa town; 45 min from Hilo airport...

You will need a car. Our road is a little bumpy, but no, you don't need a 4wd to get here.

We do have a rain shower about once every few days, but it's generally sunny, warm, dry and beautiful 95% of the time! : )

Considerate Caretaker on-site. Let us know if you need anything to be more comfortable during your stay! :)

Reconnect with nature and find your aloha
Staying at the lava temple was truly a spiritual and unique experience. We fell asleep to the sounds of nature and woke up to a beautiful sun rise over the lava fields. Couldn’t recommend more for a get away!

We were looking for something simple and outdoorsy this fit the bill. We enjoyed listening to the wind and the birds and the frogs croaking. Unique views and convenient to a lot.

Fabulous space in an awe-striking area
The magical lava temple was beyond cool - the photos online do not do it justice! It was very well stocked and clean, and there are so many beautiful corners of spiritual activity inside of it. There are great books to read and plenty of mosquito nets to keep the bugs away. I will never forget waking up in the morning and watching the sunrise over the lava fields. Truly a magical space - I could’ve never left. Only complaint was that there was no bathroom sink, but there is a kitchen sink immediately outside the shower/toilet area so that’s alright. 1000/10 would rent again, and Jade is incredibly kind and helpful. Cheers!
