Hawaii Kai is a prestigious residential community located about 12 miles from downtown Honolulu at the southeastern end of the island of Oahu. The creation of billionaire industrialist Henry J. Kaiser, what was just a flatland with numerous fishponds in 1959 was transformed into an attractive and affluent suburb.
From stately single-family homes along the waterfront to luxury condos and townhouses with gorgeous mountain views, Hawaii Kai is one of the island's true treasures. Bathed in warm tropical breezes year-round, Hawaii Kai is ideally located close to some of the Pacific's most beautiful beaches and best recreation areas. Swimming, body surfing, boating and fishing are just a few of the many outdoor activities that residents can enjoy. With easy access to Maunaloa Bay, water skiing and canoe paddling are popular pastimes. The calm shallow waters of nearby Hanauma Bay Nature Preserve Park are perfect for snorkeling among the colorful tropical fish. For those who prefer to spend their leisure time golfing, the Hawaii Kai Golf Course, with both an Executive Course and a Championship Course, boasts spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean and the Makapuu Cliffs.
The Hawaii Kai Town Center is so much more than a mall and offers everything from fine dining and fast food to yoga and Pilates classes. The Koko Marina Center is known for its waterfront eateries, boutiques and entertainment offerings. With highly rated schools and medical facilities, Hawaii Kai has everything anyone could want in a community.
