Top neighborhoods in Pahoa

Kehena Beach Estates

Kehena Beach Estates pairs volcanic black sand with turquoise waters in a secluded coastal hideaway. Adventurous travelers can soak up the sun at the clothing-optional beach or explore the lush tropical landscape surrounding private vacation homes. The nearby SPACE Seaview Performing Arts Center and Star of the Sea Painted Church offer cultural detours from beach lounging. Vacation rentals nestled in rainforest vegetation provide full kitchens and outdoor living spaces with ocean or garden views. A rental car is essential in this remote paradise, as dining options are limited and most visitors stock up on supplies in nearby Pahoa town.

Kalapana Sea View Estates

Kalapana Sea View Estates lets you live the real Hawaii without the resort crowds. Black sand beaches await just a short hike away, where dramatic waves crash against volcanic shores. The neighborhood's lush tropical gardens and lava rock formations create a natural paradise for those seeking authentic island living. Properties here feature ocean views and eco-conscious designs, many running on solar power and rainwater collection. You'll need a rental car to explore, as this peaceful residential haven sits about 45 minutes from main towns. The remote location rewards you with exceptional stargazing and the constant soundtrack of Pacific waves.

Puna Palisades

Black sand kisses the shore of Kehena, a hidden paradise where the rainforest meets the Pacific. Locals and adventurous travelers gather at the clothing-optional beach beneath swaying palms. Nearby, you can explore lava-formed tide pools teeming with marine life or catch performances at the SPACE arts center. The dramatic coastal cliffs and occasional steam vents create an otherworldly backdrop for your island escape. Pack your own meals or drive to Pahoa town for fresh Hawaiian fare since dining options are limited in this remote enclave. Simple vacation rentals and eco-friendly cabins blend seamlessly into the lush landscape. A rental car is essential for navigating the winding roads through this pristine slice of authentic Hawaiian living.

Ma'ukele Lodge

Ma'ukele Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"Staying here was a once in a lifetime experience! We were just steps away from the ocean which was breathtaking to view from lava rock cliffs. Our accommodations really set the vibe for this part of the Big Island. It was very tropical and like living in a rain forest with the greenery and fragrant flowers. The outdoor shower was a refreshing experience ( though an indoor shower is available, this outdoor shower is a must-do). Everything you need for a comfortable stay is provided, many little thoughtful touches. The accommodations were very clean. The hosts are very friendly and helpful. They are very passionate about living on this part of the island and eager to share their excitement with you. Breakfasts are delicious! Especially all of the fresh fruit. The lodge is a destination in and of itself, not just a place to sleep after seeing other places on the island."
