Maka Nui Estate Luxury OceanView Retreat Above Kealakekua Bay, Family friendly
Aloha and welcome to Maka Nui Estate — a private ocean-view retreat perched
above Kealakekua Bay on Hawai‘i’s Big Island. Set on five acres of tropical gardens,
this newly renovated 5-bedroom estate blends luxury and authenticity — offering guests the serenity of being away from the resorts in real Hawai‘i with sweeping views of the Pacific.
Enjoy lush surroundings, vibrant sunsets, and the spirit of Aloha at your own private sanctuary.
Perched on a dramatic cliffside at 1,000 feet elevation, Maka Nui Estate, meaning Big View, offers sweeping vistas of Kealakekua Bay, Pu’uhonua o Hōnaunau National
Historical Park, and 30 miles of pristine, undeveloped Kona coastline.
The location is incredibly unique with lush greenery typically only seen on the windward or East side of the Hawaiian Islands. The name Kealakekua comes from the Hawaiian ke ala ke kua - “the pathway of the gods” - a reflection of the valley’s deep spiritual significance and beauty.
This private, resort-style family retreat is a 5-bedroom, 5.5-bathroom masterpiece set on a gated five-acre tropical estate. Perfect for multi-generational families or romantic getaways,
Maka Nui promises a Hawaiian experience like no other.
Property Highlights:
Breathtaking Views — Watch vibrant sunsets over Kealakekua Bay and 30 miles of
untouched coastline from the 1,500-sq.-ft. screened lanai — perfect for dining, cocktails, or simply unwinding in the breeze.
Luxury Suites for Everyone — Five elegant bedrooms, each with a private ensuite
bath, provide hotel-style comfort for families or couples traveling together.
Spa-Inspired Primary Retreat — Oversized soaking tub, marble walk-in shower, and
private outdoor shower invite pure relaxation.
Gourmet Kitchen & Modern Comforts — Cook, connect, or entertain in a fully
equipped kitchen with high-end appliances, granite counters, and smart home features.
Tropical Oasis — Lounge by the pool, stroll through gardens, birdwatch, or pick coffee, mango, and fresh fruit from the orchard( in season ) — a private resort experience all to yourself.
Welcome Aloha Basket — Start your stay with estate-grown coffee, Hawaiian sweets, and tropical fruit.
