Hawaii's Hidden Gem: Where Luxury Meets Nature
On the Big Island of Hawaii, a special place called Kohanaiki is making waves. It's not just about the fancy homes or the golf course. It's about the way it blends luxury with respect for nature and history.
A Private Paradise
Kohanaiki is a private community that feels like a world away, yet it's just minutes from the airport. It sits on ancient lava flows and has a rugged coastline. The homes here are expensive, with one recently sold for $23 million. But it's not just about the price tag. It's about the lifestyle.
The Golf Course
The golf course is a big draw. Designed by Rees Jones, it's one of the best in Hawaii. It winds through lava fields, past special ponds, and along the ocean. Six holes play right on the water, more than any other course in the state. The course is also full of history. You can see old fish ponds and other cultural sites as you play.

There's also a microbrewery that makes beer using local ingredients.
Luxury Golf Hales
For those who don't want to buy a home, there are luxury golf Hales. These are like little houses near the clubhouse where members can stay. They even come with their own golf carts.
