From the center of the Surfing Capital of the North, we introduce to you the most relevant and famous resort in the area. Kahuna Hotel Café and Restaurant, located in Barangay Urbiztondo, San Juan, La Union.
The hotel café and restaurant was named as “KAHUNA”, as derived from the word itself; based in Territorial times, visitors discovered that the best surfer on the beach was called “kahuna nui he’e nalu,” meaning the “principal master surfer.” Because of his expertise he was also the leader among the surfers, and they would follow his advice on boards and waves and the skill itself. He was called “kahuna nui” for short, and this soon became the phrase “big kahuna,” which took on meanings of “big boss” or even “the biggest and the best” in any area.
The so-called place is located in the center of the Surfing Capital of the North, where you can drive to from Manila in five hours or less. The best place to bask in for a vacation with your family and friends. The place includes 40 boutique Balinese-inspired cottages, ‘Ocean Villas’ and ‘Rest Houses’ that come slightly into view of the beach, where you can relax in one of the 3 swimming pools while drinking your favorite cocktail. And of course, you’ll never miss the calming sounds of the waves, sunsets and the environmental ambiance of the place where you can lounge and enjoy every moment.
The alluring accommodations, bar, restaurant and pools are all facing the beauty of the ocean, where you can witness the big splash of waves for surfers of all abilities.
The Big Kahuna Bar and Restaurant offers something for all. They serve food local to La Union, as well as selection on Asian and International cuisine. From pizza-pasta to steak and sushi-sashimi there is a selection to suit all. Choose from fresh fruit juices, cocktails or simply a sub-zero beer while enjoying the spectacular view. Wake up in the morning for breakfast with a freshly brewed cappuccino or brewed coffee while you enjoy the ocean view. Watch the waves and the surfers over lunch or enjoy a cold beer or cocktail while watching the beauty of the sunset. Dress up on your most comfy outfit and enjoy live acoustic bands and entertainment at night as well.
