About Us

We strive to inspire.

The idea of the hostel is to bring people together and offer space for creativity, fitness, meditation and yoga. Living on the lava creates a revitalizing energy that invites you to realign and reinvigorate.

We invite people of all walks of life, artists, writers, culinary chefs, dancers, yoga instructors, weirdos and misfits. Come to Open Gate with an open mind and you might just settle deeper into your true self while experiencing the world from someone else’s perspective. The combination of the community and the natural environment here on the Big Island is the perfect recipe to broaden your view and become re-inspired.

“Open Gate is a place where you can take a moment to simply be yourself. We want to build an environment that promotes self-discovery and creativity.”
