Beach meets jungle and so much more in the tropical paradise that is Hawai’i. The island state is home to breathtaking luxury real estate, nestled within sweeping mountains, pristine shorelines and vibrant gardens. Curious to see just how far your money can go in Hawai’i’s real estate market? Let us give you a closer look with these three listings priced at $8.9 million, $17 million and $23 million, each offering a unique slice of heaven.
This listing happens to be situated on a half-acre of oceanfront land and is the only permitted oceanfront vacation rental currently on the market for the North Shore of Kauai, an island notorious for its strict vacation rental rules. Steps away from Anini Beach and minutes from Princeville and Kilauea, this home promises a bit of everything—a lush garden-like yard, a sun-drenched deck with ocean views and nine-foot-tall glass pocket doors that create a seamless indoor-outdoor transition. Each of the three bedrooms open to a private lanai, beckoning a good read or a cocktail in hand.
Fun fact: The home was previously owned by New York Times bestselling author Kristin Hannah, best known for The Nightingale, The Great Alone and Firefly Lane which became the number one Netflix series upon debuting. Amy Frazier, Hawai'i Life, 808.639.9011, hawaiilife.com
Located along historic Keauhou Bay, this bayfront estate boasts a captivating Balinese-style design with black eucalyptus flooring and automated floor-to-ceiling screens that reveal both jungle and oceanfront views. The gourmet kitchen is equipped with custom built-in mahogany counters and is situated at the center of the open floor plan, perfect for hosting gatherings. Just a step away lies the lagoon-style pool and spa, surrounded by a garden oasis. The grand finale? A three-bed, three-bath yacht docked in front of the oceanfront home and a privately owned mooring included in the sale price. Venture Sotheby's International Realty, venturesir.com
This residence was designed for the savant in luxury living, commanding spectacular Diamond Head crater views within an exclusive gated community on Oahu. Modeled after a Japanese-style fortress on the outside and crafted by artisans known for designing 100-million-dollar superyachts on the inside, 360 Puuikena Drive is a force to be reckoned with. Italian leather walls, custom Italian closets by Molten&C Dada, bathrooms featuring mitered seamless marble and kitchens including Snaidero cabinets by a Ferrari design company are among the endless standout components of the home. Not to mention the limestone lanai that hangs over the breadth of Mother Nature’s glory, enveloping a saltwater infinity edge pool and hot tub, and the commercial grade movie theater destined for private screenings. Waikiki and Ala Moana shopping are a mere 15 minutes away. Akimi Mallin, Sotheby's International Realty, 808.397.4480, sothebysrealty.com
