Why Kia Orana?
Similar to Aloha, the phrase literally means may you live long, or may you have a long and fulfilling life. Saying Kia Orana means more than hello. Kia Orana is meant as a blessing or a wish for your fortune. We first discovered the perfect greeting while visiting the Cook Islands years ago and think the phrase is so perfect it should be internationally known.
We wish our visitors in St. John learn how to live a long and fulfilling life the way we aspire to do. We are excited to share our home with you and be a part of your joyful, long and fulfilling life.
