Kilauea Lodge once housed Hawaii's children during their Volcano explorations. Originally built in 1938 for the YMCA, Hale o Aloha was a gracious ten acre retreat. Thousands of youngsters experienced Kilauea's wonders by day and, warmed by the lodge fireplace, told Pele myths by night.

Purchased by Lorna and Albert Jeyte in 1986, the lodge buildings were refurbished to welcome visitors from all over the world. The guest rooms reflect upcountry charm with a commitment to warmth and peacefulness. Locally raised, Lorna taught school before making a mid-life switch to innkeeping. German born Albert, an Emmy winning make-up artist, and Lorna bought the property on their honeymoon. View and Request rooms.

Owner-Chef Albert offers a menu which reflects a marriage of his European background and local flavors. Fireplace of Friendship with its precious collection of artifacts, provide the setting for fabulous dinners served nightly. In October 1938, four hundred people from around the Territory of Hawaii gathered at Camp Hale O Aloha in Volcano Village for the dedication of a unique fireplace. The International Fireplace of Friendship with its stones and coins from all over the world was the inspiration of Harold Lucas, the Y.M.C.A. camp director in charge of construction at Camp Hale O Aloha. Lucas's dream was to create a hearth of world brotherhood using stones from 32 countries around the world. View the menu for tonight!
