Where Hualālai is and what it offers

Hualālai sits on the North Kona coast at Kaʻūpūlehu, about fifteen minutes north of the Kona airport. The resort opened in the 1990s and has grown into one of the best known luxury communities in Hawaiʻi.

Hualālai has two golf courses. The Jack Nicklaus Signature course hosts a PGA Tour Champions event each year. The Keʻolu course, designed by Tom Weiskopf, is for members only. Members also have access to a beach club, a canoe club, tennis, and a sports club.

Types of homes at Hualālai

Hualālai offers more choices than most private communities. Resort villas suit owners who want a low maintenance home close to the hotel and its services. Fairway homes sit along the golf courses. Custom estates on larger homesites offer the most space and privacy.

That range also means a wide range of prices. Value depends on the type of home, how close it is to the ocean and the resort, the view, and the condition and age of the home.

Membership and ongoing costs

Membership in the Hualālai Club is available only to property owners, and it is purchased separately from the real estate. A buyer should budget for the membership, the yearly club dues, and the association fees in addition to the price of the home. These amounts are set by the club and the associations and can change, so buyers should ask for current figures.

Some Hualālai homes can be rented, and the rules depend on the specific neighborhood and association. Buyers who want rental income should confirm what is allowed for the home they are considering.

What buyers should check before making an offer

Maile Woodhall helps Hualālai buyers review the membership terms, all dues and fees, and the rental rules for the specific home. She also helps buyers check the lava zone, get an insurance quote early, and arrange a full inspection. For owners who will be away for long stretches, she connects them with trusted local property managers.

Because most Hualālai buyers live off island, she helps arrange inspections and closing from a distance.

Selling a home at Hualālai

Hualālai buyers often compare several homes in the resort and next door at Kūkiʻo. Maile Woodhall prices from recent sales in both, prepares the membership and association documents before listing, and markets through the MLS and the eXp Realty network to agents across the country and abroad.
