Located on Oahu's Windward side, the relaxed beach community of Kailua is famous for its pristine beaches and small-town charm. Home to lovely neighborhoods where homes range from moderately priced to luxury beachfront estates, all with access to some of the most famous beaches in the world, Kailua is the perfect home for those seeking a slice of classic Hawaii life. Kailua offers a variety of climates from the tropical setting of Maunawili nestled between the Koolau mountain range and mount Olomana, to the dry sundrenched neighborhoods of beachside, Kaimalino, and Lanikai.

Though just a 12-mile drive away from downtown Honolulu, Kailua feels worlds away from the hustle and bustle of Oahu’s urban areas. Whether you take the H-3 freeway or the picturesque Pali Highway, you’ll notice an air of change once you enter this charming community. Perhaps it’s the leisurely lifestyle of the Windward side or the quaint, old Hawaii allure of Kailua itself, but this community has always offered an idyllic respite from the hubbub of Honolulu.

Take a walk down to Kailua Beach, where windsurfing first became popularized. With high winds and great waves, it’s no wonder that this is the windsurfing capital of the island and windsurfing fanatics descend onto its shores every spring and summer to experience its acclaimed conditions. Or enjoy a day at world-famous Lanikai beach, renowned for its mile of white-sand and crystal-clear, turquoise waters. Or take a kayak down to Moku Nui and Moku Iki, the islets off of Kailua Beach, for a day on their secluded shores and sparkling lagoons.

Recreation opportunities go beyond these natural entertainments. Kailua is a community known for its focus on wellness, and that ethos is reflected in the many yoga and fitness studios that dot its town center. A large Whole Foods and a Target offer one-stop shops for necessities. The community’s town center also offers a line-up of amazing restaurants, charming boutiques, and hip coffeeshops. And each Sunday, a farmers market springs up to offer fresh, locally grown produce and unique artisan creations.

The homey, shoes-off comfort of neighboring Waimanalo is where you can find pristine, white-sand beaches that are unknown to most. Homes tend to be a bit more affordable than Kailua in this area. Lacy ironwood trees shade the white sands of Waimanalo Beach, with the natural beauty of the Koolau Mountains forming a breathtaking backdrop.
