The Bluffs 22: Opulent Oceanview Luxe Estate w/ Pool/Spa, AC & Views
Nestled on over an acre in the prestigious Bluffs enclave along the Kohala Coast, The Beach House is an unparalleled sanctuary of luxury and tranquility where indoor-outdoor living takes center stage. This $15 million, 8,141-square-foot estate redefines Hawaiian elegance, seamlessly blending award-winning green design, breathtaking ocean views, and bespoke craftsmanship. From original artwork to refined furnishings, every detail has been meticulously curated to create an atmosphere of effortless sophistication.
A Private Oceanview Oasis Just Minutes from Hawaii’s Best Beaches Lounge by the expansive infinity pool, its lava stone edges mirroring the dramatic coastline, or enjoy a tranquil moment by the serene Zen water pond. The pool’s regulation 25-meter length invites both leisure and lap swimming, while two adjacent wading pools, one with a soft sandy bottom, offer a family-friendly retreat. A secluded jacuzzi just steps away completes the resort-like ambiance of this tropical outdoor haven.
Exquisite Living Spaces Designed with comfort and grandeur in mind, The Beach House’s four lavish bedroom suites each serve as private sanctuaries.
Three ground-floor suites open directly onto the lanai and pool area, offering uninterrupted ocean and sunset views. Each features a spa-like en-suite bath with dual vanities, a freestanding soaking tub, an indoor rainfall shower, as well as a secluded outdoor garden shower.
Upstairs, the primary suite offers an elevated vantage point with a sprawling balcony, perfect for whale-watching by day and stargazing by night. The luxurious primary bath features a private patio with sweeping mountain views, creating a spa experience that is both indulgent and serene.
Beyond the suites, the estate’s spacious great rooms exude warmth and refinement, designed for relaxation, entertainment, and intimate gatherings. A baby grand piano sits ready for impromptu melodies, while plush furnishings invite guests to unwind with a book, a board game, or a glass of wine. Fresh orchids and curated décor add to the sense of understated luxury.
The Essence of Island Living In true Hawaiian style, the estate is designed to embrace nature. Wake up to the scent of plumeria on the breeze and the gentle sounds of birdsong. Step onto the lanai, where sumptuous outdoor seating invites you to savor a morning coffee, soak up the sun, or dine alfresco beneath swaying palms. At twilight, light the tiki torches, fire up the barbecue, and toast to an unforgettable evening under the stars. Or, just minutes away, experience the magic of Manta Ray night snorkeling or embark on a sunset cruise along the Kohala Coast. In December through February, see the whales frolic right from the house.
Seamless Luxury & Personalized Service To elevate your stay, The Beach House offers the option of a dedicated concierge, who will tailor your experience down to the finest detail, from personalized airport pickups to arranging private in-villa services. A private chef and butler can also be arranged to craft unforgettable bespoke dining experiences.
Unrivaled Location & Resort Privileges You’re just 300 yards from the powdery white sands of Hapuna Beach and a short stroll from Mauna Kea Beach, two of Hawaii’s most coveted shorelines. Nestled between the renowned Mauna Kea Beach Hotel and The Westin Hapuna Beach Resort, you can enjoy live music and hula dancing to add a touch of island rhythm to your nights. Both resorts offer drinking and dining plus take-out meals.
The Beach House also provides access to world-class amenities. For guests seeking exclusive resort access, Mauna Kea Services offers a premium membership granting privileges such as: ● Reserved beach and pool seating ● Fitness centers at both resorts ● Discounted golf and oceanfront tennis ● Charging privileges at resort restaurants and bars (Daily resort fees apply. Please inquire for details.)
A Note on Resort Enhancements The final phase of the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel renovation began in February 2025 and is scheduled for completion later this year. The Mauna Kea Golf Course has reopened following major upgrades to its fairways, greens, and bunkers. The Beach House property is located on the Hapuna side of the resort, near the Westin Hapuna Beach Resort, which remains open and unaffected by renovations. Feel free to reach out with any questions!

Perfect island getaway
We had an amazing time at this property. Comfortable and well outfitted, we loved having this as a home base for our adventures. Kids spent most of the day in the beautiful pool. Loves the access to beaches, and bedrooms were perfect. Excellent for groups both small and large. We hope to come back one day!

Three families and a wedding
It wasn’t perfect, but pretty close to it. Beautiful property, probably best suited for a vacation of up to four couples, or families with older children. The toddler in our group kept us on our toes due to the layout of pool and other water features.
Kitchen was well stocked with great appliances, cookware, etc. Beds were extremely comfortable, clean and comfy furniture, lovely outdoor seating and dining area. Warm salt water swimming pool and spa were heavenly!
Irene, our property manager did a fabulous job!
Not so great aspects: the house is, as stated, 300 yards above the Westin Hapuna Hotel, which means part of your view is the back of the hotel. There were a couple of leaks (ceiling and kitchen sink), a too cool hot tub, and a broken wine refrigerator, all of which were quickly addressed by the property manager. The louvered doors in the bedrooms need a good dusting, otherwise everything was very clean.
I highly recommend hiring the private chef, who cooked for us twice and left abundant, delicious leftovers. After our daughter’s wedding on the beach, Rowland cooked a fabulous celebration dinner.
I also recommend Babiesnbeaches for anyone with children.
Mahalo to everyone who helped us create a magical week.

A Private Resort
This beautiful, luxurious, and stunning property has to be seen to be believed. Not only is it located between two of Hawaii’s best beaches, Hapuna and Mauna Kea, it is an architectural stunner that has everything you want/need on this, or any island. Their were nine of us—8 adults and one child—but it never felt crowded, unlike our next house on Kauai. Our kids took just one field trip, to the volcano park over near Hilo. After that, everyone knew there was no reason to go anywhere...we had our own private resort. Everyone of the rooms, which are huge, open up to the ocean. The master bedroom is upstairs, with a commanding view of the entire area. The kitchen was huge, and had everything you need. The house sound system was easy to use to play music in every room. I especially liked the two buttons in the master bedroom that allowed me to turn all the house lights on, or off. Finally, the pool, an actual heated infinity pool in your backyard! In addition, the host did everything she could to make our stay enjoyable, including getting the ice maker fixed. One could grumble that the TVs were outdated (true), but who cares? Who wants to watch TV in a house like this? Yes, this house is expensive, but it’s worth it, and we would definitely stay there again.
