Welcome to your home on the Big Island.

Mele Kai is a luxury, oceanfront resort style home located in the heart of Kailua-Kona on Hawaii’s Big Island.

Designed by renowned architect and designer Glen Bell, Mele Kai Kona is a 3,000-square-foot oceanfront retreat that comfortably accommodates up to 10 guests. The home features four oceanfront king bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, thoughtfully redesigned living spaces with contemporary coastal interiors, expansive open-air lanais for sunrise coffee or evening stargazing, and breathtaking views of Keauhou Bay from nearly every room.

Ideally located along Kona's scenic Ali'i Drive, Mele Kai is just one minute from the locals' favorite Magic Sands Beach and within walking distance of one of the Big Island's premier snorkeling destinations, Kahalu'u Beach Park.

Completely renovated in 2022, the home blends modern luxury with relaxed island living. Amenities include a private lap pool, central air conditioning, a fully equipped chef's kitchen, Sonos smart home audio and lighting controls, eight Samsung Frame TVs, a built-in BBQ, custom Parachute bedding, and expansive LaCantina folding doors that seamlessly connect indoor and outdoor living spaces. Mele Kai is professionally managed by experienced Superhosts who have been sharing authentic Hawaiian hospitality with guests for more than 17 years.

Designed to maximize ocean views, the home is arranged across two levels, making it especially well-suited for larger families and groups traveling together. The upper level serves as the primary living space and includes three oceanfront king suites with private bathrooms, a spacious kitchen, the main living and dining areas, and generous lanais that capture stunning sunsets and cool mountain breezes.

The lower level offers additional privacy and flexibility, featuring one oceanfront king suite with a private bathroom, a second king bedroom, an additional full bathroom, a separate living area, a plunge pool, and two built-in daybeds that are ideal for children or teens. The unique layout provides both togetherness and personal space, creating an exceptional setting for multi-generational family vacations, couples' getaways, and group retreats.
