When planning your Hawaiian getaway, location can make all the difference. Imagine waking up to tropical surroundings, enjoying your morning coffee with ocean views, and ending the day watching the sun disappear into the Pacific. Welcome to Kona Makai, one of Kailua-Kona’s inviting oceanfront condominium communities along the famous Alii Drive.
Situated along Alii Drive, Kona Makai combines convenient access to town with the relaxed atmosphere of a tropical getaway. Just approximately 1.5 miles from Kailua Pier, the complex is close enough to enjoy Kona’s restaurants, shopping, coffee shops, and local attractions without sacrificing a peaceful place to unwind. Whether you’re visiting the Big Island for adventure, relaxation, or a little of both, Kona Makai offers a wonderful home base for experiencing everything the Kona coast has to offer.
One of the things that makes Kona Makai stand out is the collection of amenities available right within the community. Rather than simply offering a place to sleep, this oceanfront complex provides plenty of ways to enjoy your vacation without even leaving the property.
An Oceanfront Pool and Hot Tub
The community’s oceanfront swimming pool is one of its biggest attractions. Spend a sunny afternoon lounging beside the water, take a refreshing dip, or unwind in the hot tub while enjoying the sights and sounds of the Pacific. The nearby sun deck offers a wonderful place to relax, read a book, or catch one of Kona’s unforgettable sunsets. With the ocean just steps away, even an ordinary afternoon by the pool feels special.
Two Fitness Rooms
For guests who enjoy staying active while traveling, Kona Makai offers something not found at every condominium complex: two dedicated fitness rooms. Whether you prefer getting in a morning workout before exploring the island or maintaining your regular exercise routine, having fitness facilities right on the property adds an extra level of convenience.
Tennis Courts with a View
Another standout feature is the complex’s two tennis courts, situated above the covered parking structure. This elevated location gives the courts a unique setting and provides guests with an opportunity to enjoy some friendly competition while soaking up the Hawaiian sunshine.
Outdoor Barbecues and Dining Areas
One of the best ways to enjoy a Hawaiian evening is with an outdoor meal. Kona Makai features a spacious barbecue area with gas grills and communal dining space. Pick up fresh island ingredients, prepare dinner outdoors, and enjoy a relaxed meal surrounded by tropical landscaping and ocean breezes. It’s a great alternative to dining out every night and a wonderful way for families and friends to spend time together.
Ping-Pong and Additional Recreation
For a little friendly competition beyond the tennis courts, guests can also enjoy the community ping-pong table. It’s a fun added feature for families, couples, and groups looking for something entertaining to do between island adventures.
Beautiful Tropical Grounds and Added Convenience
The property is surrounded by carefully maintained tropical landscaping, creating a peaceful atmosphere throughout the grounds. Palm trees, green lawns, and inviting walkways make it enjoyable to explore the community.
Guests also appreciate the property’s parking facilities, including covered parking options, and its gated entrance, which closes at night for an additional sense of privacy and security.
What truly makes Kona Makai special is the combination of these amenities. You can start your morning with a workout, spend the afternoon by the oceanfront pool, enjoy a game of tennis, and finish the evening grilling dinner with family and friends. It’s an entire vacation experience right outside your condo door.
