Along the KonaCoast on the big island of Hawaii is the exclusive golf resort of Hokuli`a. This 1,550 acre development has recently opened up a new section of building lots to the general public. Previously, housing was only available to club members, but now there are plans to have as many as 600 units on the property Currently, though, there are only a limited number of sites are available.
This is truly a spectacular part of the world, with daytime temperatures in the 70s and 80s year round. The KonaCoast sits in the middle of the western coastline of Hawaii, the southernmost and largest of the islands. It is a microclimate that is sheltered from the winds and rains that hit the northern and eastern coasts of the island.
Each site is at least one acre, and prices start for around $3 million USD. There is a private, 18-hole Jack Nicklaus golf course, and all homeowners will have a membership in the golf club. The Nalu Kai, or ocean wave, homesites all have ocean views and are alongside the golf course.
Planned amenities will include a golf clubhouse, swimming pools, dining, spa facilities, tennis courts and a 140 acre waterside recreational park. There will be two swimming pools, one of which will be a 20,000 square foot lagoon-like recreational pool. The dining facilities will include an open-air, pavilion style restaurant and a beachfront bar.
Hokuli`a is 10 miles from the town of Kailua-Kona, the second largest community on the big island. It is 17 miles from Kona International Airport (KOA), the major airport on the island. There are direct and connecting flights here from all over the world, as well as inter-island flights to Honolulu, Maui and the smaller islands.
