The slice of Oahu known as Nuuanu-Punchbowl runs from the upper edge of Downtown Honolulu to the Pali lookout, encompassing historic Nuuanu Valley and the slopes of iconic Punchbowl Crater.

In this cool, verdant valley where Hawaiian royalty once sought relief from hot summers, Honolulu residents can now own their own island retreat. You’ll find a mix of residences along Pali Highway’s path to the Windward side of Oahu - ranging from coveted condos, charming one-story ranch houses to 100-year-old estates with their own waterfalls. The valley is also home to foreign consulates, the graceful Queen Emma Summer Palace, and one of the island’s most exclusive country clubs.

Nuuanu Valley is lush and filled with great hikes and walks— one of the trails leads you to the swimming hole Jackass Ginger, while another is a hidden trail to Kaniakapupu, the ruins of Kamehameha III’s summer retreat. And of course, Hawaiian history is all around you. Nearby is the iconic Pali Lookout, with its breathtaking view of the Windward side, where King Kamehameha famously defeated opposing forces to become the unifying leader of the islands. At Hanaiakamalama, the Hawaiian name of Queen Emma Summer Palace, you can walk in the footsteps of royalty, as you explore the collection of her antiques, furnishings, and royal clothing.

Nuuanu is where you can feel a world away from the traffic and high rises of Downtown Honolulu even though it’s only a few minutes drive away. It’s the lush tropical feel combined with incredibly easy access to the urban core that makes Nuuanu so popular.

Punchbowl is even closer to Honolulu’s heartbeat, while still feeling a little removed from the bustle. It’s minutes to Kakaako, downtown, and Blaisdell Center, which means you have some of the city’s best restaurants, shops, farmers markets, and entertainment at your doorstep.

The iconic Punchbowl crater is an extinct volcanic tuff cone that has formed over 75,000 years ago when the volcano erupted. The Punchbowl crater now functions as the second-largest memorial in the nation, dedicated to the Americans who served during World War II. At the top of the crater, panoramic views of Downtown Honolulu, Diamond Head, the airport, and the ocean awaits. It’s the perfect place for a walk or an educational tour.
