Hedonisia Hawaii Sustainable Eco-Community is based on a “Social Enterprise” model of profit making businesses that also address social or environmental needs.

Many social enterprises and non-profits work very hard to make the world a better place but they sometimes do so in a way that is so serious it almost becomes dogmatic.

We have added a Hedonisia twist! Our business model is based on the principle of “Pleasurable Activism”. We too want to make the world a better place and all our business activities are in support of this effort. However, we also want to enjoy living in this world because that gives further fuel to our efforts in trying to improve it!

In line with this philosophy we offer eco-tourist lodgings at an affordable price. We also offer an intern manager and fair-trade volunteer program that allows visitors to enjoy a working and educational vacation in Hawaii!
