ABOUT Kohala Kai

The newest development on the North Kohala coast, Kohala Kai is an extremely rare oceanfront property of 63 acres, offering seven exclusive custom homesites for the luxury lifestyle, from 5-28 acres. Only two miles north of Kawaihae Harbor, this private, gated community is a project of inventor, philanthropist and developer Earnest “Ernie” W. Moody for—in his words “those who value privacy, natural beauty in a unique, tranquil environment.”

A small coral beach with easy ocean access is a short walk from Kohala Kai, where design guidelines allow for custom residences that realizes homeowners’ vision. Residents are encouraged to carry forward Moody’s intention of “walking gently on the earth,” by using sustainable building practices, solar and alternative energy sources, native plants, food gardens and water-conserving landscapes.
