Aliomanu Estates, Kaua`i, Hawai`i
Hale Mahina, located on the Northeastern shore of the Island of Kauai, is a 25-minute flight from the Honolulu International Airport and just a short 15-mile drive from the Lihue Airport. Direct flights to Kauai from Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seattle are also available. Kauai is the oldest island in the Hawaiian chain and is one of the least populated islands. Famous for its raw and breathtaking beauty, Kauai is home to the NaPali Coast and the Waimea Canyon commonly referred to as the “Grand Canyon of the Pacific).
Hale Mahina is located in Aliomanu Estates, situated on a bluff overlooking white water views of Aliomanu Beach at the gateway to the North Shore of the Island. The 250-acre rural Aliomanu Estates community is comprised of estate-size homesites resting peacefully between inspiring views of the Pacific Ocean and the distinctive Kalalea Mountain Range (used in the opening scene of Raider’s of the Lost Ark.) This beachside community is within walking distance to two of Kauai’s secluded beaches, Papa`a Bay (made famous in Disney’s movie Seven Day s & Seven Nights) and Aliomanu Beach offering excellent surfing, snorkeling and swimming. More stunning, white sand beaches can be found along the coastline in both directions including, Kealia Beach, Kumukumu Beach, Anahola Beach and Moloa`a Bay.
Traveling North from the airport to Hale Mahina, you will pass through the Wailua, Kapaa and Anahola areas. Kapaa Town is a bustling center for visitors and kama`aina alike where you will find a unique blend of “funky & fine” boutiques, shopping centers, restaurants, art galleries, jewelry shops, grocery stores, theatres and live entertainment. Many locals and visitors enjoy leisurely strolls or rides along the new Kapaa walk and bike path which meanders along the scenic coastline of the Kapaa and Kealia areas. A dozen or more surf spots dot the coastline between Aliomanu Beach and the Kapaa area. World class golf and resort amenities are just minutes away to the North at the Princeville Resort.
Just around the corner in Anahola you’ll find a post office, mini-mart and Kauai’s famous burger stand, Duane’s Ono Burger. Anahola is a small town that has retained the feeling of an old Hawaiian village. It has a beautiful crescent shaped bay with a long, white sand beach, perfect for evening strolls. There is a protected coral reef at Anahola Beach with crystal clear water perfect for snorkeling.
December through April each year the Humpback Whales make their migration to our warm Hawaiian waters to mate and give birth. Hale Mahina offers an ideal viewing area to observe these “gentle giants” as well as dolphins and turtles as they frolic in the coastal waters just beyond the expansive, rolling lawn. Recreational activities in the area include hiking, biking, horseback riding, golfing, swimming, snorkeling, scuba diving, surfing, kite boarding, boogie boarding, fishing, boating and more. Private and Public Schools are located a few miles in either direction of the Aliomanu area.
