However, when you see the 67,000 square-foot Clubhouse you will understand the genuine temptation to stay indoors, even in paradise. The crown-jewel of Kohanaiki is situated at the heart of this private club community and serves as a daily hub of club activity for members and guests.

The lower level of the building offers a 21-seat theater, 4-lane bowling alley, pool, foosball, shuffleboard, and variety of video and board games. A James Bond-style poker room and scotch bar, wine tasting room and private dining areas are enhanced by a museum-worthy gallery of art devoted to the Hawaiian culture. Intimate wine dinners, Bingo nights, Superbowl parties, and club hosted poker nights are just some of the fun event programming taking place for the Kohanaiki "`ohana" (family) on a regular basis.

Daily scheduled movie showings and a full complimentary movie concession with all the standard goodies keep residents more than entertained. A full bar in the Game Room, complete with a skilled bartender, provides the ideal backdrop for after-dinner fun and games.

More over-the-top Clubhouse amenities continue to impress on the upper level, such as the men and women's relaxation and spa areas with lounges, dry sauna, steam rooms, hot tubs, plunge pools, and a tranquil garden. Four treatment rooms make up the oasis where relaxation-seekers indulge in world-class wellness and exclusive spa treatments inspired by indigenous plants and the Hawaiian culture.

Aligned with Kohanaiki's focus on wellness and fitness, an indoor-outdoor fitness center with a fully equipped gym and 25-meter infinity pool overlooks the Pacific Ocean. Thoughtful fitness programming offers daily water aerobics, sunrise lap swim, yoga, Pilates, and private fitness training with one of Kohanaiki's expert trainers. These are just some of the perks that make it hard to leave what members fondly call their private "heaven on earth."

The post Indoor And Outdoor Activities At Kohanaiki Are Year-Round appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

We are almost in November and while the rest of the northern hemisphere is pulling out winter coats and watching leaves fall, Kohanaiki, a 450-acre private club community on the Big Island of Hawaii, is preparing for winter a little differently- by pulling out the surfboards, sunscreen, and welcoming home the Kohola- humpback whales.

Located along the sunny Kona coast, this area is renowned for some of the best sport fishing, surfing, and diving in Hawai‘i.  And every winter, the Hawaiian Islands welcome home the Kohola to frolick in the warm Hawaiian waters- truly a spectacle to watch from Kohanaiki’s impressive 67,000-square-foot clubhouse.

Kohanaiki’s World-Class Amenities Give a One-of-its-kind Experience to Its members, Year-round

With water clarity is at its peak during the winter and an average water temperature of around 75 degrees, it’s no wonder Kohanaiki’s 39’ Yellowfin private boat stays busy whisking members on memorable family diving, fishing, and snorkeling tours every day.  The Club’s Beach restaurant will cook up the day’s catch, anyway you like it.

Ocean recreation not for you?  Play a few rounds on their Rees Jones-designed golf course featuring six ocean-front holes, relax in their expansive spa with private men's and women's lounges and outdoor areas, or get your hands dirty in the biodynamic farm, with fruits, vegetables, and plants grown for their restaurants and members.

When the Sun Goes Down

The Clubhouse, situated at the heart of the development, was designed to take in the panoramic ocean, golf, and mountain views and houses a restaurant, fitness areas, spa and Members’ Shop on the main level and a 21-seat theatre, 4-lane bowling alley, billiards, foosball, shuffleboard, and a variety of video and board games on the lower level.

An authentic gallery of art devoted to the Hawaiian culture enhances a James Bond-style poker room and scotch bar, wine tasting room and private dining areas. The second level is also where the Club’s micro-brewery is located.  Yes, their own micro-brewery.
