Moana Lani
United States / Hawaii / Oahu
The south shore of O‘ahu changes character east of Diamond Head. The pace slows as Maunalua Bay opens between Kahala and Hawai‘i Kai, a stretch of protected water framed by Koko Head and lined with oceanfront homes, paddlers, and calm morning waters.
Overview
Moana Lani sits directly on that shoreline. Six bedrooms across 5,100 square feet, a private pool and hot tub, expansive lawn, separate guest cottage, and a Philip “Pip” White design that quietly understands oceanfront living in Hawai‘i.

The Interior
The floor plan opens toward the bay. Kitchen, dining, and family rooms sit under one ceiling line, with sliding doors that pull the lanai inside on calm mornings. The kitchen features marble counters, polished wood cabinetry, stainless appliances, and generous prep space designed for long meals and easy gathering. Nearby living and dining spaces flow easily between indoor comfort and outdoor entertaining, while the separate media room is where evenings settle in: deep seating, a wide flat-screen, and a Sonos system that follows you room to room.
At the Water's Edge
Outside is where the property fully settles into its rhythm. The lanai opens onto a vast oceanfront lawn with multiple lounging areas, shaded seating, and open space to spread out throughout the day, all positioned toward the calm waters of Maunalua Bay. The private pool and hot tub create a more secluded retreat space, while shuffleboard, the BBQ area, basketball hoop, and pickleball setup create space for both laid-back afternoons and active days outdoors.
The water along Maunalua Bay is typically calm and protected, well suited for paddleboarding, kayaking, and slow mornings by the shoreline. Most evenings naturally end outside, with ocean breezes moving across the lawn as the coastline lights begin to glow in the distance.
The Guest Cottage
A separate guest cottage sits on the property with its own king bedroom, two twin beds, ensuite bath, wet bar, pool table, and fitness area. More than additional sleeping space, the cottage creates a flexible second gathering area for multi-generational families, groups traveling together, or guests wanting a little more privacy during extended stays. There is also a poolside room with a twin trundle and adjacent full bath, useful for additional guests or flexible sleeping arrangements (no A/C in that room).

Nearby
Nearby Hawai‘i Kai offers local dining, marina access, beaches, and water activities, while Kahala and Diamond Head sit just west along O‘ahu’s south shore. Continuing east past Koko Head and Hanauma Bay, the coastline opens toward Makapu‘u Scenic Lookout and Waimanalo, home to dramatic coastal views, hiking trails, Sea Life Park, and some of the island’s most beautiful white-sand beaches.
