Designer Oceanfront Residence in Princeville
Welcome to Mahina Kai, a newly renovated luxury retreat perched on the dramatic ocean bluffs of Princeville. Located within the prestigious Puʻu Poa community, this designer-curated residence blends elevated contemporary living with soulful island artistry, creating an experience that feels both refined and deeply connected to the natural beauty of Kauaʻi’s North Shore.
Positioned on a rare ground-floor bluff-front setting, Mahina Kai offers sweeping Pacific Ocean views, seasonal whale watching, and direct access to one of the island’s most scenic hidden beaches. Thoughtfully designed by luxury interior designer Briana of Dwell Crush, every space within the residence reflects a balance of artisan craftsmanship, modern comfort, and timeless Hawaiʻi elegance.
Living Spaces
The expansive open-concept living area is designed to showcase the surrounding coastline from nearly every angle. Soaring ceilings, oversized windows, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow create a light-filled atmosphere where ocean breezes and tropical scenery become part of the experience.
Relax on the covered lanai overlooking manicured lawns and panoramic ocean views, or unwind indoors surrounded by carefully curated furnishings, custom textures, and locally inspired design details. During the winter months, guests can often spot whales breaching offshore while rainbows and sunrises frame the Pacific horizon.
Every interior element has been intentionally selected to create an atmosphere that feels elevated, serene, and uniquely connected to place.
