Nestled on over an acre within the prestigious Bluffs enclave on the Kohala Coast, Mauna Kea Resort Bluffs 22 – The Beach House is an oceanview estate where curated design, effortless luxury, and authentic island living flow together in perfect balance. With 8,141 square feet of refined interiors and expansive outdoor spaces framed by palms and lava rock, this home brings the best of the Big Island to your front door.

The space
Steps from Hapuna Beach and moments from Mauna Kea Beach, it is a private haven for families, couples, and groups seeking a warm, welcoming retreat with a true sense of place.

What You’ll Love About Mauna Kea Resort Bluffs 22 – The Beach House
• Regulation-length 25-meter infinity pool with lava stone detailing and panoramic ocean views
• Multiple wading pools including a soft sand-bottom splash zone for little ones
• Spa-inspired ensuites with soaking tubs and secluded outdoor garden showers
• Elevated primary suite with ocean-view balcony and a private mountain-view bath patio
• Multiple indoor-outdoor great rooms designed for gathering, reading, music, and sunset watching

Living & Dining
The great rooms welcome you with warm wood details, soaring ceilings, and a natural flow between indoors and out. Slide open the glass walls and settle into softly cushioned seating as ocean breezes drift through. A baby grand piano anchors the space with quiet elegance, inviting impromptu melodies and long, peaceful evenings.

Multiple lounge areas ensure everyone can find their own favorite spot, whether that is a sunlit reading corner, a conversation nook overlooking the pool, or the media room designed for cozy movie nights. The dining room’s handcrafted table glows under soft lighting, creating an inviting setting for shared meals and memorable conversations.

Chef-Ready Kitchen
Thoughtfully designed for both chefs and casual cooks, the kitchen features professional appliances, spacious prep areas, a large center island, and an array of high-end tools including a food processor, rice cooker, juicer, mixer, ice machine, and wine fridge. Morning coffee is easy at the bar counter, while the open layout lets everyone gather comfortably as meals come together.

Outdoor Oasis
The estate’s outdoor living is a world of its own. The 25-meter infinity pool mirrors the dramatic coastline while wading pools create a playful, family-friendly zone. A heated spa sits just beyond, perfect for stargazing after dusk. Alfresco dining for twelve invites relaxed meals framed by ocean views, and the outdoor kitchen makes entertaining seamless.

Lanai spaces unfold across the property: shaded lounges, garden seating, and sunlit daybeds all overlooking swaying palms and the blue horizon. Retreat to the private yard for sunset views or morning quiet among tropical landscaping.
