The Bluffs 22: Opulent Oceanview Estate w/ Pool, Spa & AC, Breathtaking Views

This stunning 8,141-square foot $15 million luxury estate home is situated on a private, secure cul-de-sac in the exclusive Bluffs area of the Kohala Coast. The Beach House at the Bluffs features an award-winning green design, original artwork, with exceptional attention to detail and finishes, from the four luxurious bedroom suites to the chef's kitchen, to the expansive great rooms, to the home theater, to a massive infinity pool and separate Zen water pond. With plenty of space to unwind both indoors and out (front and back gardens), this is a first-class destination, just minutes from the amazing beaches, restaurants and amenities at the Mauna Kea Resort and the Westin Hapuna Resort Hotel, but utterly private. **Resort amenities are detailed below; please review the planned improvements, as this could impact availability.

The pool, artfully surrounded by lava stone, will please both fun and serious swimmers with its regulation 25 meter length. Two adjacent wading pools (one with a sandy bottom), and a separate jacuzzi a few short steps away, complete the resort feel, and are welcoming to both children and adults.

On the ground floor, each of the three guest suites have ocean and sunset views and direct access to the spacious lanai and pool areas. Each suite contains a spa-like bathroom with two separate sink areas, a shower, freestanding bathtub, plus a private outdoor shower. The second-floor primary suite opens to a large balcony, perfect for whale-watching and night sky viewing or just relaxing in chaise lounges, while the luxurious primary bath opens onto a smaller patio with mountain views. The second floor also boasts another spacious great room.

In true Hawaiian island style, this home tastefully blends indoor and outdoor living spaces, with abundant natural light and plenty of places in the sprawling living space to play games, read and relax or play on the baby grand piano. Fresh orchids grace many of the rooms. Pour a cup of coffee and wander out to the lovely lanai, where tranquil tropical landscaping, plumeria scented air and birdsong await. The comfortable outdoor furniture is every bit as luxurious as the cozy seating indoors. You may want to soak up the sun, enjoy dining outdoors, and watch the spectacular sunsets. In the evening, light the tiki torches and fire up the barbeque!

A personal concierge works with guests to plan all the elements of a perfect vacation at the Beach House at the Bluffs. A butler and private chef are available for additional fees to ensure a relaxing and enjoyable stay.

The Bluffs area is a private community nestled between two world-class resorts, Mauna Kea and Hapuna, with magnificent beaches. The property is only 300 yards away from Hapuna Beach and 1,200 yards from Mauna Kea Beach, so after your larder is stocked, you may never drive during your entire stay. But the Big Island has so many facets to discover, road trips are encouraged, and a binder of ideas is thoughtfully provided by the owners.

Beaches in Hawaii are public, and we provide boogie boards, portable beach chairs and beach towels. Ocean-front tennis and golf are available as well as drinking and dining, often with live music, in the two hotels.

Guests wishing to access the Mauna Kea Resort amenities, such as the two fitness centers, discounted golf and tennis, reserved chairs and towels at both swimming pools and beaches and receive charging privileges at the Mauna Kea and Westin Hapuna Beach Hotels may pay the current daily fee per family through Mauna Kea Services.

**The Mauna Kea Resort has embarked on an ambitious improvement and renovation plan that impacts several areas of the resort, including but not limited to, the main tower, various restaurants, pools, golf courses and spa services. The renovations are expected to take place from April 2024 through the second quarter of next year (2025). For more information and updates on these renovations, please contact us. We’ll be happy to provide you with real time updates!

This Property does not allow temporary pool fences.

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.
