If you’re searching for the ultimate blend of luxury, adventure, and connection in Hawaii, look no further than The Kanini Estate. Located in the prestigious Naupaka at Waikoloa community along the Kohala Coast, this recently built vacation home redefines what it means to experience the Big Island.
Golden hour views from Kanini’s private pool—where sunset swims and mountain backdrops steal the show.
Kanini works for all kinds of travelers, families who need space to spread out, friends planning something memorable, and players on the hunt for incredible courts in a tropical setting.
A Luxury Villa with Space to Relax & Recharge
