OCEANFRONT PUAKO HAWAII LUXURY VILLA STEPS TO HAWAII'S BEST SNORKEL & SCUBA REEF

HALE I’A U’i-SPECTACULAR PUAKO HAWAII OCEANFRONT ESCAPE TO PUAKO PARADISE

Welcome to HALE I’A U’i, the “Beautiful Fish House”- a luxury oceanfront villa in peaceful Puako, one of the Big Island’s most magical old-Hawaii beach communities.

Here the ocean is your front yard in Puako Hawaii. Wake to gentle waves, snorkel or Scuba dive the vibrant reef right out in front, watch HONU(Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles) sun on the lava rock tide-pools and soak in the heated spa as Maui’s mountains float on the horizon.

DIVE IN. CHILL OUT.REPEAT.

Explore the living reef filled with tropical fish, mysterious sea caves, coral gardens, sea turtles, tide pools, and warm island water. From November through March, watch Humpback whales breach, spout, and tail-slap offshore.

Relax in two shaded ocean view cabanas, cool off in the infinity edge lava stone spool (1.5’deep), unwind in the large heated spa, and watch your favorite game or movie from the spa.

Inside enjoy over 5,300 sq. ft of luxury with two oceanfront Great Rooms, a gourmet kitchen, 2 bars, two ice makers, huge pool table, and a cozy film room -perfect for friends and families to gather, play, cook, laugh, and reconnect.

Surrounded by palms, hibiscus, plumeria, tropical birds, starlit skies, and the soothing sound of the sea, Hale I’a U’i captures the relaxed beauty of old Hawaii.

Minutes from Mauna Lani, Orchid Fairmont, Hapuna and Mauna Kea Beach Hotel, you are close to world-class beaches, golf, dining, shopping, and Big Island adventures.

Hale I’a U’i is your private oceanfront escape-where turtles are your neighbors, the reef is your playground, and the waves sing you to sleep.
