Top neighborhoods in Kailua

A coastal landscape with a town, mountains, and a clear sky.

Kalama Tract

Kalama Tract gives you authentic Hawaiian living without the tourist hustle. This peaceful residential pocket puts you just a short walk from world-famous Kailua Beach's turquoise waters and powder-soft sand. Lush tropical gardens and swaying palms line the quiet streets, creating a perfect base for beach days, kayaking adventures, or exploring the nearby Kawainui Marsh. The neighborhood itself has few businesses, so you'll head to Kailua town center (just 5-10 minutes away) for restaurants, shopping, and weekly farmers markets. Most accommodations are vacation rentals with private pools and tropical gardens, offering a genuine slice of island life with easy beach access.

Nearby Lanikai Beach and Ulu Pō Heiau State Monument provide additional spots to explore. Friendship Garden and Olomana Three Peaks Trail offer green escapes for nature lovers. Beachside eateries serve fresh poke, shave ice, and plate lunches, while local fruit stands offer authentic Hawaiian snacks. Vacation rentals range from beachfront condos to residential homes with tropical gardens.

Maunawili

Maunawili's lush mountain setting offers an escape into Hawaii's natural paradise. Hikers tackle the challenging Olomana Three Peaks Trail or splash in the swimming hole beneath Maunawili Falls after a moderate 3-mile trek. The neighborhood winds through bamboo forests and tropical vegetation with birdsong as your soundtrack. Ancient Hawaiian history lives on at Ulu Pō Heiau State Monument. Accommodations are primarily upscale vacation rentals with mountain views and tropical landscaping. You'll need a rental car to explore, as public transit is limited and parking at trailheads fills early. For dining and shopping, head to nearby Kailua town, just 10-15 minutes away.

You'll need to drive to nearby Kailua town for restaurants and shopping since Lanikai maintains its purely residential charm.

Learn more about Kailua

Turquoise waters lap against Kailua Beach's powdery white sand, creating a postcard scene that locals somehow take for granted. Kayak to the twin Mokulua Islands offshore, where turtles bask on rocks with the nonchalance of sunbathers. The Lanikai Pillbox Trail rewards a moderate climb with panoramic views that explain why Obama chose this neighborhood for his winter retreats. Kawainui Marsh offers a different kind of beauty, with ancient fishponds that gave the town its name ('two seas' in Hawaiian). After swimming, the shave ice stands along Kailua Road provide rainbow-colored relief from the tropical sun. For a less-crowded experience than Waikiki, Kalama Beach Park offers the same perfect waters without the tourist crush.

"awesome experience!"

Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"verall, we had a really great experience. The room attendants were friendly and always greeted us with “Aloha” or “Good morning” whenever they saw us, which made us feel very welcome. Our room was cleaned daily and was always well maintained. The beach was beautiful and enjoyable, but I recommend bringing aqua shoes since there are small rocks along the shoreline that can be uncomfortable to walk on.."
