Local Lifestyle

Kahala is the ideal marriage between urban sophistication and suburban serenity. It is a natural draw for professionals and their young families, retirees who want to be near a cosmopolitan center but live in a quiet atmosphere, and high-profile Hawaii residents who desire privacy and seclusion. While Kahala is technically part of Honolulu — the largest city in the Hawaiian Islands and one of the biggest in the country — it maintains a small-town, neighborly ambiance.
Dining, Shopping & Entertainment
Honolulu is the culinary heart of Hawaii, a foodie’s paradise defined by its culturally-dynamic assortment of restaurants, food trucks, and pop-ups. Kahala adds to its status with a collection of both chill and swank restaurants.
 
The renowned Kahala Hotel & Resort, for one, boasts two of the most outstanding venues on the island: Hoku’s Kahala, a high-end Pacific Rim waterfront restaurant, and Plumeria Beach House, a more relaxed affair where you can dine on dishes ranging from a seafood tower overflowing with sashimi and lobster to Misoyaki butterfish crowned with Hamakua mushrooms.
 
Kahala residents also flock to Olive Tree Cafe, a buzzy spot that specializes in classic Greek fare such as lamb souvlaki and flaky, delightfully-sweetened baklava. et al. is another perennial favorite, and for a good reason, too. The luminous neighborhood cafe capitalizes on seasonal ingredients and locally-sourced proteins to deliver succulent plates of Maui beets with Sweet Land Farm chevre, grilled Kona Kampachi with pak choy, and Big Island bone marrow with spicy greens and grilled sourdough.
 
Residents of this coveted region are also big on entertaining and have the chef’s kitchens, lanais, and lush yards to accommodate it. To stock up for their fetes, they have their own Whole Foods Market in their community, where they can find an assortment of fresh, organic produce, artisan wines, and scrumptious pastries.
 

Things to Do

Hawaii may be the most isolated archipelago on the planet, but that certainly doesn’t mean its #luckywelivehawaii residents are ever at a loss for things to do — quite the opposite, in fact, because of Kahala’s perfect location. 
 
Golfing is a primary pastime in Kahala and throughout the islands. Locals always look forward to the annual Sony Open at the Wai’alae Country Club, which possesses unrivaled-in-beauty fairways. Indeed, the country club often brims with Kahala residents, who relish the grounds, championship golf courses, and endless views of the Pacific Ocean.
 
The lovely and pristine Kahala Community Park is the optimal spot to take your children to play or your dog for a walk, while the ever-peaceful Kahala Beach features warm, translucent water, a gorgeous stretch of sand, and the leggy palm trees that make Hawaii famous. Pair all of this with proximity to Waikiki Beach’s gentle, rolling waves and Honolulu’s panoply of historical sites, and you can understand why life in Kahala is considered idyllic.
