Four Coastal Dream Homes in Hawaii
by INHABIT EDITORS
From a retreat on the south shore of Kauai to a tucked-away estate in the hills of Honolulu, these stunning island homes offer something to dream about on even the coldest winter days.
Blue Wave, as this magnificent four-bedroom oceanfront house is so aptly named, is a dramatic mansion set within the Waikoloa Resort in Kamuela. Blue Wave is filled with theatrical flourishes, including a primary bedroom that has a moveable roof, allowing the lucky inhabitants to fall asleep while watching the stars. The primary bedroom also has a hot tub next to the bed and is surrounded on two sides by fully retractable doors, allowing for a soak while gazing out upon views of the Pacific Ocean and nearby mountains. There’s also a striking infinity pool and spa outside, and inside, a home movie theater and a library with a rounded reading nook.

Enjoy the sunshine on the Kohala Coast at this sprawling three-bedroom, three-bathroom single-acre house. Spread over .5 acre in the Champion Ridge community at Mauna Lani, the house is available fully furnished, with all interiors designed and sourced from Restoration Hardware. The home also boasts all new kitchen appliances, nine-foot ceilings, and native ohia wood floors. With vanishing pocket doors between the living spaces and the lanai, this is indoor-outdoor living at its finest, including two fabulous outdoor showers. Residents at Champion Ridge have access to the beach club and restaurant, as well as a protected cove and beach.

A lovely estate tucked away in the hills of Honolulu, there are three distinct properties here: A main house, a guest cottage, and a carriage house, with space for eight cars. The residence was designed by Hawaiian architect Louis Davis, and was completely renovated in 2023, with the possibility of additional development available. The bedrooms and living spaces are designed with floor-to-ceiling glass doors creating almost seamless boundaries between indoor and outdoor living. There’s also a well-equipped outdoor kitchen, a 2,300-square-foot patio, a game room, a home gym, and poured concrete paths that meander through the tropical garden.

A stunner of a retreat on the south shore of Kauai offers all the amenities of a resort within the space of a single-family residence. The primary house has five bedrooms and five-and-a-half bathrooms, and there’s also a separate one-bedroom guest house on the three-acre property. The grounds include an expansive fruit orchard, planted with tropical fruit trees, a gorgeous pool, and rolling lawns. The primary house also has a media room, a home gym, and a gourmet kitchen with a butler’s pantry and a separate wet bar. The estate is totally secluded, only accessible by a private tree-lined driveway, but also just a short drive from Secret Beach or Poipu.
