An Oceanfront Estate on Maunalua Bay
Welcome to Moana Lani, an extraordinary oceanfront estate gracefully positioned along the tranquil shores of Maunalua Bay on Oʻahu's coveted South Shore. Beyond Diamond Head, where the pace of island life slows and the coastline unfolds between Kahala and Hawaiʻi Kai, this remarkable residence offers a rare opportunity to experience Hawaiʻi at its most serene.
Designed by acclaimed architect Philip "Pip" White, Moana Lani spans approximately 5,100 square feet and embraces the timeless beauty of oceanfront living. With six bedrooms, expansive gathering spaces, a separate guest cottage, and resort-inspired amenities throughout, the estate has been thoughtfully designed for multi-generational families, milestone celebrations, and extended island stays. Framed by panoramic bay views, lush lawns, and the gentle waters of Maunalua Bay, Moana Lani is a sanctuary where every day begins and ends with the rhythm of the ocean.
Living Spaces
The home's open-concept floor plan is oriented toward the bay, creating an effortless connection between the interior living spaces and the breathtaking scenery beyond. The kitchen, dining room, and family room share a unified design that feels both expansive and inviting, while sliding glass doors open fully to the lanai, allowing cooling trade winds and natural light to fill the home throughout the day.
Refined finishes—including polished wood cabinetry, marble countertops, and elegant furnishings—create a warm and sophisticated atmosphere. Multiple gathering areas offer space to reconnect, whether enjoying a leisurely breakfast overlooking the water or settling in for an evening indoors.
A separate media room provides an intimate retreat, featuring plush seating, a large flat-screen television, and a Sonos sound system that extends throughout the property, creating the perfect setting for movie nights and quiet evenings after a day of island adventures.
