An ocean view is one of the most relaxing settings that can be taken in by the human eye, and it’s why ocean-view and oceanfront properties often command a premium. This week, we took a look at four spectacular Hawaii properties with jaw-dropping sea views. Take a peek at some of the most stunning oceanfront homes that the Islands have to offer.

It’s Bali by way of Hawaii at this custom Lahaina home in Puunoa Estates. Surrounded by lush landscaping on six acres of grounds, this exotic single-level home features pocketing doors, reclaimed teak wood and finishes and furnishings imported from Java and Bali. Glass-paneled doors and windows take in views of Lanai and Molokai, West Maui mountains, year-round sunsets and, when in season, passing whales.
Pocketing doors connect the home’s great room to an indoor-outdoor living and entertainment area of more than 2,700 square feet. A luxury villa, a swimming pool and an outdoor shower highlight the outdoor amenities. The gardens are full of citrus, plumeria and a coconut tree orchard.

The sandy shores of Anini Beach on Kauai are coveted among homebuyers, making it no surprise to see that this oceanfront estate has already found a buyer. Originally built for actor Sylvestor Stallone and his family, the house features a view-oriented design centered on the ocean and the Kilauea Lighthouse.
Features of the property include a chef’s kitchen, a finished office and a primary suite with dual bathrooms and closets. A two-car garage, a covered partial basement and an ADU (accessory dwelling unit) are among other perks of the Anini Beach pad.

Considered the largest luxury home available on Kauai, this Anini Beach retreat was designed for multi-generational living and features three full kitchens, staff quarters and plenty of space for entertaining. Equally larger-than-life are the views; the custom compound sits elevated on a flat pad, allowing for panoramic views from Hanalei to Kilauea Lighthouse.
The grounds resemble that of a resort and incorporate a mature Koi pond, a saltwater swimming pool with a spa and a lagoon-style sandy beach. For indoor entertaining, there’s a wet bar in the living room, a temperature-controlled wine cellar and a movie theater with velvet reclining chairs.

Located within a private gated area in Anini Vista, this elegant modern island estate takes in ocean views as far as the eye can see. Designed with the ocean in mind, nearly every room in the four-bedroom, four-bathroom house has a view of the sea. Perhaps most impressive is the expansive primary suite, which features wall-to-wall windows and a private patio for enjoying the scenery.
A large outdoor dining/entertainment area called “the pod” extends the living space outward. The grounds feature multiple patio areas, an infinity-edge pool with a spa, fruit trees and tropical landscaping.
