Currently, Concierge Auctions has the Hiwa Lani Hawaii resort home in Kuki’o Beach Club coming to auction soon. Hiwa Lani is Hawaiin for “royal favorite,” and the property and ammeneties surrounding Hiwa Lani certainly live up to the name.

Here are just a few of the reasons discerning homebuyers select the exclusive West Hawaii community of Kuki’o.

Golf
With roughly 300 days of sunshine a year, golf is a favorite past time in Kuki’o. As a private equity club, Kuki’o is home to two exclusive courses: a ten-hole short course and an 18-hole championship course, both designed by Tom Fazio. The only Fazio-designed courses in the state are meant to be challenging while providing a relaxed amenity to members.

To play golf in Kuki’o is to truly play in paradise. Featuring breathtaking views of the Kohala coastline with its azure waters, the meticulously maintained emerald greens contrast against the raw beauty of dark a’a lava and white bunker sand.

Relax at the fully stocked comfort stations or members-only Clubhouse. Living in a relaxed environment such as this means life on your terms – tee times are not necessary here in Kuki’o. 

In addition to the exquisite golf available at Kuki’o, the surrounding Kohala Coast offers some of the best fairways in the country. In fact, Travel + Leisure magazine says the Kohala Coast may have “the greatest collection of dramatic seaside golf courses in the world.”

Nearby Hualalai Golf Course and Ke’olu Golf Course offer exceptional golfing opportunities. Indeed, every January that the PGA holds its Mitsubishi Electric Championship at the Jack Nicklaus-designed Hualalai Golf Course.

A short drive up the Kohala Coast, the Mauna Kea Golf Course and its sister course, the Hapuna Golf Course, offer rolling fairways and spectacular coastline views with tough but fair holes.  Earlier this month the Mauna Kea Golf Course hosted the 40thannual Pro-Am Golf Tournament.

Close by, the Mauna Lani Resort offers 36 holes of golf on its two championship courses, the North and South Courses. With its majestic ocean and mountain views and challenging fairways its little surprise that Golf Magazine has awarded Mauna Lani its Gold Medal Award for several years running.

Kuki’o Beach Club
What sets Kuki’o above and beyond other luxury communities along the Kohala Coast are the exceptional amenities available at Kuki’o Beach Club.

The private Beach Club offers sumptuous fine dining, a magnificent open-air spa, Outdoor Pursuits program, and a first-class fitness center.

The spacious Clubhouse harkens back to the days of kama’aina estates in old Hawai’i with its hand-hewn wood columns and vaulted ceilings. Unwind in a comfortable hammock with a book from the Club’s library or stroll across the lush lawn to view historic Hawaiian fish ponds. Relax with friends and family overlooking the Dining Pavilion and Beach Bar with the island of Maui in the distance, as coconut palm trees sway in the gentle trade winds. 

Dining on the Kohala Coast
Given its superlative amenities, you may never want to leave Kuki’o. However, even world-weary travelers would be hard pressed to name an island with as many exceptional restaurants as Hawai’i Island’s Kohala Coast.

Hawai’i Island is often called the breadbasket of the state, providing local chefs with an abundance of fresh tropical produce, fish, and game.

The Four Seasons Resort Hualalai at Historic Ka‘upulehu has transformed the “farm to table” dining concept in Hawai’i and the resort’s three restaurants and two ocean-side lounges are the frequent recipients of national awards. Fine-dining choices include the Beach Tree, ‘Ulu Ocean Grill, and Hualalai Grille, as well as the Beach Tree Bar and Lounge and the ‘Ulu Sushi Lounge.

At the Fairmont Orchid, enjoy a superb sunset dinner at Brown’s Beach House, the resort’s AAA Four Diamond restaurant. Brown’s was one of only three restaurants on island named to OpenTable’s 2013 Top 100 most romantic restaurant in the U.S.

The relatively new Lava Lava Beach Club in Waikoloa, operated by the same team that brings you Huggo’s Oceanfront Restaurant in Kailua-Kona, has quickly gained a stellar reputation for its outstanding food and selection of live music.
