Big Island Retreat with Panoramic Pacific Views & Sauna

Highlights
• Sweeping panoramic ocean views above the Kona Coast

• Resort-style pool with waterfalls, fountains, spa, and tiki torches

• Peaceful setting surrounded by lush landscaping and island wildlife

Perched on a scenic hillside above the Kona Coast, this remarkable tropical estate offers a private sanctuary where ocean views stretch endlessly toward the horizon and every day ends with a spectacular Hawaiian sunset. Surrounded by one acre of lush gardens and swaying palms, the home embraces the natural beauty of the Big Island while providing the space, comfort, and amenities needed for an unforgettable island escape.

From the moment guests enter, the home's dramatic architecture creates an immediate sense of wonder. Cathedral ceilings, graceful arches, artistic niches, and floor-to-ceiling windows frame the surrounding landscape, drawing the eye from the sparkling pool and cascading waterfalls to the vast Pacific Ocean beyond. Thoughtfully curated artwork, sculptures, and elegant furnishings enhance the atmosphere, creating a residence that feels both sophisticated and deeply connected to its tropical setting.

The expansive great room flows seamlessly into multiple dining and gathering spaces, all designed to maximize the spectacular views. A gourmet kitchen equipped with stainless steel appliances serves as the heart of the home, while indoor and outdoor dining areas invite long, leisurely meals overlooking the coastline. Two outdoor grilling stations, including a premium gas grill and Evo grill, make alfresco entertaining effortless beneath the warm Hawaiian skies.

Outside, the estate transforms into a private resort experience. The pool's waterfalls and fountains create a soothing soundtrack throughout the day, while tiki torches illuminate the evenings with a distinctly island ambiance. Spacious lanais provide comfortable spaces for lounging, dining, and sunset cocktails, while tropical gardens filled with orchids, flowering plants, and fruit trees offer endless opportunities to explore and unwind. Guests may even enjoy fresh papaya, mango, avocado, lemon, lime, and banana grown on the property.

Accommodations are thoughtfully designed for families and groups seeking both privacy and comfort. The primary suite serves as a luxurious retreat with a king bed, spa-inspired bathroom, garden tub, separate shower, Toto bidet, and private infrared sauna. Additional bedrooms offer flexible sleeping arrangements, while the den and loft provide extra gathering spaces complete with entertainment options, work areas, and room for larger groups to relax after a day of island adventures.

Whether spending the day exploring Kona's world-famous beaches, snorkeling in crystal-clear waters, discovering volcanic landscapes, or simply enjoying the peaceful rhythm of island life from the lanai, this exceptional estate captures the essence of Hawaii. With breathtaking ocean views, resort-style amenities, and the serenity of a private tropical oasis, it offers an unforgettable Big Island experience.
Please note there are on-site caretakers who reside in a separate ohana at the back of the property.

House Rules

Hale Wailele is a non-smoking, non-vaping, and no-pet property. Smoking or vaping is not permitted anywhere on the property.

We are located in a quiet residential neighborhood where neighbors enjoy tropical, open-air living. To respect our neighbors, parties and entertaining outside guests are not permitted. Please keep noise to normal conversation levels. The use and enjoyment of the property is limited to the registered guests listed on the agreement.

As is customary in many Hawaiian homes, we kindly ask guests to remove their shoes before entering the house whenever practical. We understand this may not be comfortable or possible for everyone, particularly some older guests, so we simply ask that you use your best judgment. We also appreciate your helping us care for our home by using coasters for beverages and avoiding placing wet towels or swimsuits on the furniture.

The home is not childproof and contains fragile furnishings and décor. The unfenced pool is easily accessible. For these reasons, we recommend Hale Wailele only for children who are confident swimmers, respectful of the home, and under constant adult supervision. Please use your judgment in determining whether Hale Wailele is an appropriate fit for your family.

All guests use the property, pool, spa, and other amenities at their own risk and are responsible for supervising all members of their party. Guests are responsible for any damage caused during their stay.
