A spacious dining table seats eight for memorable meals shared indoors, while the open layout makes it easy for everyone to connect whether cooking, relaxing, or planning the day’s adventures.
Chef-Ready Kitchen
Designed for effortless cooking, the kitchen features stainless steel appliances, a gas stove, double ovens, wine fridge, generous prep space, and essentials from blender and kettle to coffee grinder and rice cooker. Enjoy ocean-facing meal prep or step directly out to the lanai for al fresco dining.
Outdoor Oasis
Hale Joli’s outdoor spaces offer the atmosphere of a private resort. The heated infinity pool stretches toward the ocean, framed by a wide sundeck with loungers and shaded seating. An outdoor shower provides a refreshing post-swim rinse, while the barbecue area and firepit create beautiful settings for sunset grilling or stargazing.
Explore the grounds to find tropical plantings, a flourishing orchard, and the beginnings of a mini Kona coffee farm. Mornings here are peaceful, and evenings glow with breathtaking colors across the horizon.
