04 · Ultra-Private Members-Only Community
North Kona · Kailua-Kona, Hawaiʻi Island
The Community
Kohanaiki is where ultimate privacy and paradise converge. Strictly limited to a select number of member families, this oceanfront enclave pairs a Rees Jones championship course with a private beach club, farm-to-table dining, and a spa, all set against the raw, sculptural beauty of the Kona lava coast.
Kohanaiki is the newest of the Kona private clubs and the most deliberately limited in size. The membership cap is the entire premise: the community is built to feel uncrowded in a way that larger resorts structurally cannot.
The clubhouse is unusually ambitious, with a bowling alley, a brewery, a golf simulator, and a comprehensive wellness centre alongside the expected dining and spa. For families who intend to spend real time on island rather than a few weeks a year, the amenity depth is the differentiator.
Buying Here
Purchases at Kohanaiki are inseparable from club membership, and the membership is capped. Buyers should treat the club application and the real estate contract as one process rather than two, and plan timing accordingly.
Marco represents Buyers and Sellers across every one of the Kona and Kohala Coast private communities, and has closed at this level repeatedly. If Kohanaiki is on your list, a conversation before you tour is usually worth more than one after.
