The Luxury Of Kekainani At Hoakalei

A Contemporary Expression Of Island Elegance Shaped By Nature, Design, And The Spirit Of O‘ahu

The award-winning Hoakalei Resort, a master-planned oceanfront community celebrated for its private country club, 52-acre Wai Kai Lagoon, and vibrant dining and recreation complex, continues to redefine luxury island living. Designed to celebrate indoor-outdoor harmony, each Kekainani home features expansive lanais, open-concept interiors, and breathtaking ocean views that reflect Hawai‘i’s natural beauty and relaxed sophistication.

A limited collection of new ocean-view residences is now available on the western shores of O‘ahu—offering a rare opportunity to own contemporary island real estate within an emerging resort community. Kekainani at Hoakalei has officially unveiled its model homes, inviting prospective homeowners to explore three distinctive floorplans in the final release of 32 luxury residences.

Distinctive Floorplans

Kekainani offers homebuyers three exquisite designs, each tailored to complement the island’s elegant, laid-back lifestyle:

  • ‘Ilima: A single-story, three-bedroom residence with 3.5 baths and approximately 2,436 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space. Features include soaring 10-foot ceilings, a covered lanai, and a spacious primary suite with a private sitting area.
  • Pohinahina: Spanning over 4,000 square feet, this two-story, five-bedroom layout offers exceptional multigenerational flexibility with dual lanais, a private courtyard, and an upper-level balcony that captures stunning views.
  • Naupaka: The largest in the collection, this five-bedroom, 5.5-bath residence features a loft-style retreat, multiple lanais, and sweeping living areas oriented to maximize the ocean vistas.

Each home reflects a modern interpretation of classic Hawaiian plantation architecture, blending premium finishes, natural materials, and elevated ceilings to create spaces that are both refined and relaxed.

A Lifestyle of Island Luxury

Living at Kekainani means embracing an elevated island lifestyle. Just a short drive or bike ride away, Wai Kai serves as a dynamic waterfront destination featuring signature restaurants, boutique retail, Hawai‘i’s only deep-water standing surf wave, and a lively weekly farmers market.

The Wai Kai Lagoon invites residents to immerse themselves in waterborne adventure—whether it’s stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, or the exhilarating Wai Kai AquaVenture, a floating obstacle course that offers endless fun for all ages.

Homeowners also enjoy exclusive access to the private Residents Club, located along the lagoon, providing the perfect balance of recreation, relaxation, and resort-inspired living.

The Homes and Community

Homes at Kekainani are priced from approximately $2.5 million to the high $3 millions. Construction is currently underway, with select homes available for pre-purchase.

The Kekainani Model Homes and Sales Gallery, located at 91-1421 Halili Street in ‘Ewa Beach, are open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Visitors can explore the model homes and schedule a virtual or in-person tour by visiting www.Kekainani.com.
