APRIL 11-16, 2024

LOCATION: MOLOKA’I, HAWAII

DATES: APRIL 11-16, 2024

Join Beautiful Nomad on this once in a lifetime adventure to what is known as the most Hawaiian of all the Hawaiian Islands. Pu'u O Hōkū Ranch is a family-owned biodynamic, organic ranch and farm on the remote and tranquil east end of Moloka’i, Hawaii. “Pu'u O Hōkū” means “Hill of Stars” and is surrounded by more than 14,000 acres of protected land. The ranch’s commitment to preserving the fertile east end of Moloka’i is in hopes that the island will become a more food and energy self-sufficient community that will provide for generations to come. For nearly 35 years the ranch has been working hard to conserve Moloka’i’s natural resources with ecological farming practices, introducing native plants and species, and protecting wild spaces. The lodge itself was built in 1935 by the distinguished architect C.W. Dickey and is a gemstone of the golden age of Hawaiian architecture. This experience will offer you a gilded glimpse into a Hawaii that once was.

Come join us for six days of movement on the ranch’s very own shaded lanai with sweeping lawns and ocean views. Hike to hidden waterfalls, marvel at the world’s steepest sea cliffs, and kick back at the ranch’s glorious pool. We will delight in farm-to-table meals from the ranch’s pastures, orchards, and vegetable gardens, and tap into our creative flow in a traditional art workshop. Come bask in this ever-idyllic “Eden” of Moloka’i while exploring untouched parts of native Hawaii.
