Perched at 800 feet on the sun-kissed slopes of Hualalai, Hale La’i is a private luxury retreat offering an unparalleled connection to the Big Island’s raw beauty and serene spirit. Designed with the essence of Hawaiian elegance, this refined home seamlessly blends indoor and outdoor living spaces. Three expansive ensuite bedrooms—two with outdoor shower gardens—open to lush tropical surroundings and awe-inspiring ocean views. An infinity-edge pool and spa invite deep relaxation, while the expansive lanai with an outdoor kitchen sets the stage for sunset dining and starlit conversations. Every detail, from the hand-set travertine flooring to the 8-foot doors and warm hardwood accents, elevates the atmosphere of comfort and sophistication. Thoughtfully appointed for both restorative stays and elevated gatherings, Hale La’i offers a spacious open-concept great room with soaring ceilings, a gourmet chef’s kitchen, and fully retractable pocket doors that dissolve the boundary between home and horizon. The dedicated office suite, with its own lanai and full bath, adds flexibility for those who blend work with leisure. Throughout, high-end finishes, spa-inspired bathrooms, and tranquil lanais ensure every moment resonates with peace and purpose. Whether discovering the island’s hidden wonders or simply soaking in the panoramic views of Kailua Bay, Hale La’i is a timeless sanctuary where luxury and aloha live in perfect harmony.

KEY Curation Notes

Saltwater infinity pool and spa frame unobstructed views of Kailua Bay, with daily spa heat available for a $25 fee. The 2,800 square feet of living space sits at 800 feet elevation on the Hualalai slopes, where cooling breezes and tropical landscaping create a serene private retreat.
All three king bedrooms are ensuites with split A/C, and two open directly onto outdoor shower gardens set in lush tropical surroundings. Each bedroom features soaring ceilings, private lanai access, and ocean-facing views.
The gourmet kitchen delivers chef-ready equipment, including a six-burner gas cooktop with integrated griddle, convection oven, 48-inch refrigerator with filtered water and ice maker, and professional finishes. A fully equipped outdoor kitchen on the lanai mirrors this setup with gas grill, prep station, and dining area.
Open-concept living flows seamlessly between the great room (75-inch TV, plush seating) and covered lanai through disappearing pocket doors, backed by a dedicated home office with monitor, keyboard, and private lanai. High-speed WiFi, washer/dryer, and spa-inspired bathrooms with walk-in closets complete the setup.
The elevated residential setting offers cooling breezes and seclusion, but it's a short drive to Kona's beaches and snorkeling spots. Kailua-Kona's dining, boutique shopping, and cultural sites like Hulihe'e Palace are walkable, as are Kona Country Club Golf Course and coffee plantation tours.
