Kamakahonu, the residence of Kamehameha I, was located at the north end of Kailua Bay in Kailua-Kona on Hawaiʻi Island.
[3] His son, the crown prince Liholiho, also lived here, taking the name Kamehameha II.
[4][5] In December 1819, Kalanimoku led an army from here to put down the rebellion of his nephew Kekuaokalani, in the Kuamoʻo Battle, a few miles to the South.
He later built a Western-style house called Huliheʻe Palace on the other side of the beach for entertaining visitors.
The property is now part of King Kamehameha's Kona Beach Hotel; none of the houses or walls remain.
