The Outrigger Kona Resort & Spa, in collaboration with T S Restaurants, will be opening a Duke's Kona in late 2025. This will be the first Duke's restaurant on the Big Island of Hawaii.
"The brand-new Duke's Kona will occupy a premium 15,000-square-foot oceanfront space, enriching our resort with its iconic charm and cuisine," Jeff Wagoner, Outrigger Hospitality Group CEO, said in a recent news update.
"Our 22-acre Outrigger Kona Resort & Spa recently underwent a $60 million investment, meticulously designed to honor its storied history while embracing the vibrant essence of Keauhou, which means "new current" or "new era," he continued. "Renowned local architecture firm WCIT has commissioned to design this spectacular venue, ensuring it harmonizes seamlessly with the resort's transformation."
Duke's other Hawaii locations are on Kauai, Maui and Oahu.
