About
Elevated Island Flavors in Waimea
Perched above the rolling green hills of Waimea, 'Ikena Landing serves as a tranquil escape for those looking to enjoy local cuisine with a panoramic view of the Kohala Coast. The atmosphere is open and airy, defined by the constant, cooling trade winds that sweep through the town, making it a favorite spot for a leisurely breakfast or a mid-day lunch break away from the coastal heat.
Farm-to-Table Freshness
The kitchen leans heavily on the bounty of Big Island farmers. You will notice the difference immediately in the vibrant colors of the seasonal fruit bowls and the crisp snap of fresh greens harvested from nearby pastures. The signature banana macadamia nut pancakes are a local staple, often arriving at the table smelling strongly of toasted nuts and caramelized sugar. It is the kind of place where the rhythm is intentionally slow, allowing you to watch the mist roll over the pastures while you finish your Kona coffee.
What to Expect
This is not a spot for a rushed meal. The layout is designed to maximize the scenery, with seating oriented toward the horizon. While the service is friendly and professional, be prepared for the pace to mirror the relaxed Waimea lifestyle. If you visit on a particularly windy afternoon, the outdoor seating area can get a bit gusty, so keep a light jacket handy. It is an ideal setting for anyone seeking a quiet morning reflection or a casual meeting spot that captures the authentic, agricultural heart of the region.

I had the "Avocado Toast" which was ok, but not great, as the avocado was old. It came with an egg that was supposed to be sunny side up, but it looked overcooked. I also got a "bucket" of Kona coffee which was excellent

Our hotel package came with breakfast for two each morning. Ikena Landing has a breakfast menu or buffet option. We received the buffet option during our stay at The Westin Hapuna Beach Resort.

My sister and I got delicious waffles though I ordered a full one and only received half, it took quite some time too. Otherwise the food and drinks were good and the atmosphere was stunning!

Nice mix of continental, Hawaiian, and Japanese breakfast options in the buffet. Love the fresh fruit. Amazing views and friendly staff. Did not notice any flies the 3 times we ate there. Definitely pricey for breakfast but typical for a hotel.

This is a wonderful place to eat for breakfast, with the most breathtaking views! Try the island fried rice, it’s worth the upcharge! My servers were all great, but my favorite person was Ginger who was the hostess. She has the best personality and is quite funny! Thank you for the great experience!

An amazing place to check out! delicious food, incredible view plus an excellent staff. It’s inside of the hotel (resort), even if you are not staying there they will make you feel welcome. We had blueberry pancakes and banana foster waffle… fantastic! Our server Kanoe is lovely, and deserve 10+ stars 🥰

Great poolside restaurant at the Westin Hapuna Beach Resort at Mauna Kea. Delicious Mai Tais. Get the poke nachos, they will change your life 🤤

Got the complimentary breakfast from Bonvoy platinum, which included a fruit place, pastries, coffee/tea, and a choice between parfait, steel cut oats, and cereal. It was a filling breakfast. The line can get pretty long here, however, so try to get here as early as possible.
