The Bluffs 22: Opulent Oceanview Luxe Estate w/ Pool/Spa, AC & Views

Nestled on over an acre within the prestigious Bluffs enclave on the Kohala Coast, Mauna Kea Resort Bluffs 22 – The Beach House is an oceanview estate where curated design, effortless luxury, and authentic island living flow together in perfect balance. With 8,141 square feet of refined interiors and expansive outdoor spaces framed by palms and lava rock, this home brings the best of the Big Island to your front door. Steps from Hapuna Beach and moments from Mauna Kea Beach, it is a private haven for families, couples, and groups seeking a warm, welcoming retreat with a true sense of place.

What You’ll Love About Mauna Kea Resort Bluffs 22 – The Beach House
• Regulation-length 25-meter infinity pool with lava stone detailing and panoramic ocean views
• Multiple wading pools including a soft sand-bottom splash zone for little ones
• Spa-inspired ensuites with soaking tubs and secluded outdoor garden showers
• Elevated primary suite with ocean-view balcony and a private mountain-view bath patio
• Multiple indoor-outdoor great rooms designed for gathering, reading, music, and sunset watching

Living & Dining
The great rooms welcome you with warm wood details, soaring ceilings, and a natural flow between indoors and out. Slide open the glass walls and settle into softly cushioned seating as ocean breezes drift through. A baby grand piano anchors the space with quiet elegance, inviting impromptu melodies and long, peaceful evenings.

Multiple lounge areas ensure everyone can find their own favorite spot, whether that is a sunlit reading corner, a conversation nook overlooking the pool, or the media room designed for cozy movie nights. The dining room’s handcrafted table glows under soft lighting, creating an inviting setting for shared meals and memorable conversations.

Chef-Ready Kitchen
Thoughtfully designed for both chefs and casual cooks, the kitchen features professional appliances, spacious prep areas, a large center island, and an array of high-end tools including a food processor, rice cooker, juicer, mixer, ice machine, and wine fridge. Morning coffee is easy at the bar counter, while the open layout lets everyone gather comfortably as meals come together.

Outdoor Oasis
The estate’s outdoor living is a world of its own. The 25-meter infinity pool mirrors the dramatic coastline while wading pools create a playful, family-friendly zone. A heated spa sits just beyond, perfect for stargazing after dusk. Alfresco dining for twelve invites relaxed meals framed by ocean views, and the outdoor kitchen makes entertaining seamless.

Lanai spaces unfold across the property: shaded lounges, garden seating, and sunlit daybeds all overlooking swaying palms and the blue horizon. Retreat to the private yard for sunset views or morning quiet among tropical landscaping.

Perfect island getaway

We had an amazing time at this property. Comfortable and well outfitted, we loved having this as a home base for our adventures. Kids spent most of the day in the beautiful pool. Loves the access to beaches, and bedrooms were perfect. Excellent for groups both small and large. We hope to come back one day!

Three families and a wedding

It wasn’t perfect, but pretty close to it. Beautiful property, probably best suited for a vacation of up to four couples, or families with older children. The toddler in our group kept us on our toes due to the layout of pool and other water features. Kitchen was well stocked with great appliances, cookware, etc. Beds were extremely comfortable, clean and comfy furniture, lovely outdoor seating and dining area. Warm salt water swimming pool and spa were heavenly! Irene, our property manager did a fabulous job! Not so great aspects: the house is, as stated, 300 yards above the Westin Hapuna Hotel, which means part of your view is the back of the hotel. There were a couple of leaks (ceiling and kitchen sink), a too cool hot tub, and a broken wine refrigerator, all of which were quickly addressed by the property manager. The louvered doors in the bedrooms need a good dusting, otherwise everything was very clean. I highly recommend hiring the private chef, who cooked for us twice and left abundant, delicious leftovers. After our daughter’s wedding on the beach, Rowland cooked a fabulous celebration dinner. I also recommend Babiesnbeaches for anyone with children. Mahalo to everyone who helped us create a magical week.

A Private Resort

This beautiful, luxurious, and stunning property has to be seen to be believed. Not only is it located between two of Hawaii’s best beaches, Hapuna and Mauna Kea, it is an architectural stunner that has everything you want/need on this, or any island. Their were nine of us—8 adults and one child—but it never felt crowded, unlike our next house on Kauai. Our kids took just one field trip, to the volcano park over near Hilo. After that, everyone knew there was no reason to go anywhere...we had our own private resort. Everyone of the rooms, which are huge, open up to the ocean. The master bedroom is upstairs, with a commanding view of the entire area. The kitchen was huge, and had everything you need. The house sound system was easy to use to play music in every room. I especially liked the two buttons in the master bedroom that allowed me to turn all the house lights on, or off. Finally, the pool, an actual heated infinity pool in your backyard! In addition, the host did everything she could to make our stay enjoyable, including getting the ice maker fixed. One could grumble that the TVs were outdated (true), but who cares? Who wants to watch TV in a house like this? Yes, this house is expensive, but it’s worth it, and we would definitely stay there again.
