Kahala on Oahu's south coast has long been among the island’s most prominent neighborhoods. Beloved for its quiet elegance, it is the favorite choice of Hawai‘i’s business community, rightfully gaining the moniker of “Hawaii’s Beverly Hills”.

Flanked by a stretch of white sand beaches, its seafront properties overlook Oahu’s southern and eastern shoreline. Multiple beach access paths make the beaches a welcome destination, though its relative seclusion keeps it among the least populated on the island. As such, these neighborhood beaches are the perfect retreat for those seeking one of the island’s more secluded shores.

 Investment in Kahala dates back to the 1920s, with Hawaii’s more prosperous residents setting sights on its yet to be developed stretch of land. More homes began to be erected in the 1950s and 1960s, following the post-war boom that brought more prestige to Hawaii’s shores. Several of the island’s more opulent residents have called Kahala home including the singer Don Ho, the father of surfing Duke Kahanamoku, and the famous heiress Doris Duke, whose sprawling estate remains overlooking Kahala’s shoreline.

 The prevalence of mid-century ranch style homes among the neighborhood’s more modern estates retains a charming old Hawaii feel. Though just a ten-minute drive from the bustling streets of Waikīkī, Kahala is calm and residential, continually ranked one of the safest communities in Honolulu. And its proximity to world famous hiking trails like Diamond Head, whose picturesque peak is an iconic sight throughout the neighborhood, makes Kahala an ideal place for residents seeking a home close to nature.

 Among the neighborhood’s other amenities is Kahala Mall, with boutique shops, a Macy’s, and one of only three Whole Foods stores on the island. Nearby, the Waialae Country Club is a perk for golf connoisseurs as it becomes the site of the PGA Sony Open Golf Tournament each January.
