If you’ve never before fired up the grill and watched Pacific Ocean waves gently crash in the near distance, well, here’s a perfect chance. This Hawaii compound off the Hāmāku Coast boasts an undeniable resort-like atmosphere, and you need look no further for proof than an outdoor kitchen (with a gas grill, wet bar, and counter seating) overlooking the deep blue sea from a vast covered lanai. Other amenities abound, such as a pool with a waterfall, a tiki bar, and a sauna. Take in stargazing, whale watching, and all kinds of panoramic vistas from an elevated main house, one of four residences on the property.

Galloping straight out of Dutchess County horse country comes this rolling, rustic 33-plus-acre property. Its outdoor kitchen literally and figuratively rocks. Audacious, inviting, and composed entirely of stone, the space occupies a scenic Hudson Valley overlook and flaunts a barbecue, bar seating, and the wood-fired pizza oven of your cheesiest dreams. The main home is a serious showstopper, too, featuring an open floor plan and rather artistic detailing throughout — think beams sourced from local trees, handmade kitchen tiles, inlaid copper wall finishes, and more.

Host with utmost flair at this five-bedroom fresh build in the Houston suburbs. The outdoor kitchen is just one aspect of a bona fide entertainer’s pavilion — a covered, covetable middle point in the home’s magnificent transition from interior to exterior. Custom touches like the two-toned wood ceiling, the corner skylight, and visible wine storage help take the space to another level. Of course, so does the adjacent sunken fire pit, an instantly eye-catching setup found between the kitchen and a pool with a water feature. Feeling especially playful? Ditch the typical dining areas and enjoy your plate from a poolside swing.

Cooking in a poolside gazebo feels like an authentically South Florida experience, one readily attainable at this four-bedroom Jupiter charmer. You’ll have it made in the shade should the flames get a little too hot, with a quick dip in between burger flips always an option. This outdoor kitchen also overlooks the Loxahatchee River, which is directly accessible via the home’s private double dock. There’s even more to adore inside, where a highly curated aesthetic incorporates elements such as African teak herringbone floors, a wood-beamed, cathedral-style living room, and custom wood pocket doors.

Follow the circular stepping stones tucked among the vineyards and olive groves to travel back in time. The Lazise brick-and-stone outdoor kitchen at this Lazise villa is as analog as they come, affording a chance to finely sharpen those chef skills, including techniques for utilizing a handmade pizza oven and general cooking flame management. This residence sits on over 12 acres of pristine land and was originally built in the 1930s before a full revitalization in 2021. As such, its winsome interiors and exceptional furnishings showcase old-world grace and modern panache living in loving harmony.

Survey your verdant Southampton kingdom with a spatula in hand from this al fresco station, stocked with a built-in grill and refrigerator atop a wooden deck. The outdoor kitchen is positioned feet from a pergola-covered lounge area and is only a few more steps to the pool and a fire pit, all ideal for conversing while cooking or kicking back after a shift at the burners. If you’re especially wiped, rinse off in the outdoor shower before retreating straight into the primary bedroom via one of the deck’s sliding glass doors.

Bring a little European flavor to this Tudor-meets-French Country home in Northern California. An enticing outdoor kitchen awaits around the back of this stone, brick, and stucco stunner; just pass through the bifold doors in the breathtaking, double-height living room. The setup spreads out, tracing the border of a pool and spa along a stone patio from a pergola-covered grill built into a brick and stone surround to an open-air fire pit (with bench seating and room for chairs) before settling into a covered lounge that boasts a sink, a fridge, and a TV mounted above a fireplace.

Exposed ceiling beams, a brick accent wall, and a handsome arched entryway may sound like a prewar condo; however, here these beloved elements combine to form a covered loggia that hosts a tropical bistro of a summer kitchen. A barbecue grill anchors one end of the outdoor room, which is ready-made for all-seasons entertaining and blessed with breezes through arched openings. If that’s not enough sizzle for your steak, regardless of whether it’s beef or cauliflower, there’s even an open walkway to the pool area. It all encapsulates this prosperous five-bedroom property’s take on thoughtfully designed luxe living.

Suburban-like solitude in the big city; what could be better? A bamboo back garden in the middle of Manhattan sounds like a place you’d never expect even to exist, let alone find an outdoor kitchen. And yet. This Upper West Side townhouse is chic beyond belief — five fireplaces, a library with bay window seating, and a Guggenheim-inspired staircase are among its highlights — and a robust backyard grilling station is the last pinch of flavor that makes everything sing. There are even more spots to cook and chow down inside, including a dedicated dining area and a garden-level kitchen with a banquette.

Double dip on cooking space in this Katy backyard, which sports a gas grill and a Big Green Egg. The latter is closer to a ceramic oven than a barbecue, allowing one to incorporate pizza-making, roasting, smoking, and other means of cuisine-craft into their repertoire. Both the grill and the egg are part of a handy built-in unit alongside a refrigerator. When not making the outdoor kitchen your personal Michelin-starred restaurant, discover standout spaces all over this four-bedroom home, including a cozy media room and a swoon-worthy, double-height living room with floor-to-ceiling windows.

Enjoy dinner with a side of tropical panoramas from the expansive rear terrace at this estate on the west coast of Puerto Rico, where al fresco entertaining has rarely looked better. For everything you can’t cook or prepare outside using the grill and wet bar, utilize the interior’s sleek kitchen — flaunting an electric cooktop, a wall convection oven, and a walk-in pantry. This home has about all one could ask for in an island escape, with ocean-view perches, sanctuary-like privacy, glorious natural light flow, and fruit tree plantings mingling in blissful accord.

Thanks to this Water Mill manse’s towering glass walls, the indoors effortlessly flow into the outdoors and a stainless steel gas grill. After flipping over the day’s bites, flip yourself around and gaze upon staggering natural vistas spanning as far as the eye can see — just make sure you only drop your jaw. With grounds sprawling across 5 acres, you can dig in wherever you desire, including on a covered porch with a mahogany ceiling, at the stone patio’s dining table, or even splayed on a poolside lounger.

Cuteness envelopes this five-bedroom McLean home, which is done up with hardwood floors, custom cabinets, and decorative moldings. That overall sentiment certainly extends to the covered flagstone outdoor kitchen and bar, which is picture-perfect for grilling up a summer feast, chilling and chatting over coffee, and everything in between. Plus, there’s a pool back there, too. Should the weather not cooperate (or even if it does, really), the glassed-in, skylit sunroom is an equally dazzling hangout spot. However, you’ll reach the peak of subdued suburban comfort while relaxing on the front porch’s swing.

Catch that heavenly Gulf cross-breeze while helming the grill at this seven-bedroom home on Florida’s Emerald Coast. Those built-in burners (plus a sink, refrigeration, and bar seating) occupy one section of a wondrous covered terrace, great for entertaining the early birds and the night owls in equal measure. In addition to the outdoor kitchen, there’s a cushy lounge area, a glittering swimming pool, and many angles to gaze upon the sunset from. Beyond the terrace, this home is immensely impressive, ample natural light flow complementing its stylishly designed spaces through walls of glass.

Come morning, afternoon, or night, you’ll always be cooking on island time at this hillside St. Barth villa. Sunlight filters into the kitchen area, which is air-conditioned but open to the exterior and fully equipped with every appliance one might need. A dedicated grilling station sits across the way, outfitted in wood and stone, bringing an enduring aura to every culinary endeavor — there’s a chic dining room nearby, too. Covered spaces breezily give way to en plein air ones, allowing for daybed sunbathing, infinity pool laps, or hours spent adoring the dictionary-definition picturesque seafront views.
