The Kohala Real Estate Update for highlightsJune the breathtaking region along the west coast of Hawaii’s Big Island. Known as “The Big Island” to distinguish it from the state itself, this unique destination offers a diverse array of communities and landscapes. The renowned Kohala Coast is divided into two distinct areas: North Kohala and South Kohala. North Kohala encompasses the island’s rural northern tip, featuring the charming towns of Hawi and Kapa’au, as well as the prestigious Kohala Ranch communities situated at its southern border.
South Kohala stretches just beyond Kohala Ranch and encompasses some of the island’s most prestigious destinations, including the world-class resorts of Mauna Kea, Mauna Lani, and Waikoloa Beach. This vibrant region also features Waikoloa Village, a charming community located just six miles inland from the coast, as well as Waimea, a picturesque town nestled in the lush Waimea Valley.
