Aolani House & Coffee Cottage – Your Private Hawaiian Sanctuary

Nestled in the serene coffee farms of Holualoa, Aolani House & Coffee Cottage offers an exclusive retreat for relaxation and rejuvenation. Perched on 5 private acres of Kona Coffee and Macadamia Nut farms, this resort-style property features panoramic 180° ocean views, stunning sunsets, and ultimate tranquility.

Perfect for families, couples, or corporate getaways, this hidden gem blends modern luxury with Hawaiian charm.

Our expansive property features two distinct buildings: the main house and the Ohana all with king-sized bedrooms and ensuite bathrooms. Step into the Garden Suite, which opens to a serene entry garden, complete with a private entrance and full bath for your convenience. The cozy Spa Room, located just off the main living area, features a private bath and direct access to the outdoor shower – perfect for rinsing off after a day at the beach, and a private primary bedroom sitting above the kitchen with views of the ocean from the shower and bedroom. The primary suite boasts a full soaking tub, walk-in shower with ocean and mountain views, and full black-out curtains for lazy mornings.



The Ohana, connected to the primary residence by a breezeway, boasts a spacious second master suite with a king-size bed, dual vanity bathroom, and a picturesque lanai overlooking the ocean—ideal for enjoying sunsets with a view. Beneath the Ohana, you’ll find a fantastic flex space equipped with a large 70” flat screen, a pull-out sofa, peloton, office area, a sizable fridge, and a small gym with AC, ensuring a comfortable stay.
