Kauai has drawn in major celebrity residents over the years including Ben Stiller, Julia Roberts, Craig T. Nelson, and Carlos Santana. As one of Hawaii’s smallest and most secluded main islands, it’s a favorite destination for in-the-know visitors and home buyers thanks to its beautiful and uncrowded spots. For those looking for a permanent place there, and a luxurious one at that, a villa known as Hale Kiaka just listed fully furnished for $11.4 million.
Located within Kukui’ula, an exclusive luxury community on Kauai’s sunny south shore, the custom home immediately strikes you as a wellness sanctuary. It looks like something that could appear in White Lotus, whose first season was filmed a few islands away on Maui.
Designed by Brazilian architect Caio Bandeira of Architects + Co, the 4,056-square-foot tropical getaway displays tall ceilings, organic wood tones, and crisp teak finishes throughout to create a seamless sense of place. Its main spaces are open and flowing for easy-breezy living, while four generously sized bedrooms promise quiet moments of recharging in style. A mix of island-boho and modern minimalist furnishings, curated by Bossa, fill the interiors so the home is inviting and move-in ready for eager buyers.
Wherever you are, the views seem to extend across lush golf fairways, vibrant green grass, and the Pacific Ocean in the distance. Of course, the villa’s own infinity-edge pool is also a welcome sight. The poolside lana’i is ideal for entertaining or unwinding in the balmy fresh air. It features a fully-equipped kitchen, a swim-in/swim-out sauna, and a jacuzzi. Who would ever want to leave?
This splashy property’s modern island design, plus its access to the community’s world-class amenities and the island’s endless natural beauty, make it a top contender for high-net-worth buyers seeking a Hawaii home. Deep Blue HI and the Kukui’ula community have co-listed the abode.
