Contemporary Beachfront Living on the Big Island of Hawaii

From: Hawaii Life Real Estate Brokers and Luxury Portfolio

Tradition meets technology at this four-bedroom Pauoa Beach property at Mauna Lani Resort, where vaulted ceilings in gorgeous dark wood rise above sleek minimalist furniture and seven integrated televisions. Indoor-outdoor living begins with bedrooms that open directly onto a massive covered lanai with a marble-wrapped outdoor shower, an infinity pool with a lounging platform that seems to hover above the ocean, fire bowls, a courtyard with ponds and fountains, and access to 300 feet of picture-perfect coastline.
