Waters of Ionie

Rainforest Retreat & Vacation Rental

The Story

A few years ago, Antoine felt the call to sail across the open ocean to this little Big Island of Hawaii. As many who end up here, the message came in dreams, of waterfalls at the end of the earth and sparkling blue seas.

He found this bit of undeveloped, pristine paradise, and the vision began to unfold. The property has been developed with an appreciation for adventure and deep immersion in nature, so that when you walk down the stairway and descend into the jungle you truly feel you have walked into your own personal protected sanctuary.

The Vision

The offerings are inspired by what the land herself evokes. We offer individually curated vacations packages and retreat programs for those seeking healing & rejuvenation, creative and artistic expression, a perfect blend of fun & adventure…

The land invites healing, gratitude, and peace, and it has become a place to gather for celebrations, collaborations in healing work, nature arts and re-wilding. Gardens grow, purpose reveals itself…as does things that blossom from places of soul.

the purpose…to be reminded who we are, to expand our capacity for peace, gratitude and joy. An invitation…into the pleasure of simply BEING.

The Lodging

The property is a lush riverside jungle, the structures are tucked within the trees offering shade and privacy. A beautiful path through the jungle brings you from the parking, descending down into the jungle with view of the larger waterfall and swimming hole. There are several access points to the river, multiple swimming and lounging areas, and a lava tube/cave that is accessible via a relatively easily climb up the river bank. As you explore, you will find a variety of native plants, gardens are currently being developed with the goal of cultivating medicinal and culinary herbs and produce.
