A Brand-New Indoor-Outdoor Estate in Kukuiʻula
Welcome to Makani Kai, a spectacular brand-new five-bedroom residence set within the gated Kukuiʻula community on Kauaʻi's sunny south shore. Positioned above the historic sugar town of Koloa, this expansive retreat combines contemporary island architecture, open green surroundings, and effortless indoor-outdoor living.
With walls of glass that open completely to the lanai, private pool, and spa, Makani Kai is designed to bring the outdoors into every part of the experience. Five ensuite bedrooms, including a spacious one-bedroom guest house, provide accommodations for up to fourteen guests, making this an exceptional setting for families, friends, and large gatherings seeking comfort, privacy, and space to come together.
Living Spaces
The home's ground floor is designed around an effortless connection between indoors and out. Expansive sliding glass walls disappear completely, allowing the great room, lanai, pool, and spa to become one continuous living environment.
The spacious living room provides a comfortable gathering place for the entire group, while additional indoor and outdoor spaces create opportunities to relax quietly with a book or simply enjoy the open green landscape beyond the property.
Ceiling fans throughout the home encourage refreshing airflow, while central air conditioning provides comfort during the warmest south shore afternoons.
As the day fades, the glass doors can remain open as the pool becomes still and the surrounding landscape takes on the soft colors of sunset.
