More Than a View: Life Inside the Aloalii Sanctuary

There’s a certain kind of magic that happens when a home is renovated for how you actually live, not just how it photographs. We’ve all seen the over-the-top island décor that feels like you accidentally wandered into a Tommy Bahama store.

4066 Aloalii Drive is the opposite.

It’s clean, intentional, and calm, free from visual noise and designed to let the setting speak for itself.

Designed for the Way We Really Live

This house simply lives well.

The first floor sets the tone with an open-concept living area that flows effortlessly outdoors. When you’re not out adventuring, you’ll find yourself drawn to the backyard complete with a large pool, covered outdoor living space, and views overlooking the Preserve Golf Course with Namahana Mountain as the backdrop.

A Bedroom Layout That Actually Works

Good design starts with flow and this home gets it right.

The Social Floor

Downstairs offers space to live, work, and unwind. In addition to the living, kitchen, and dining areas, the first floor includes a dedicated office and two bright bedrooms connected by a Jack-and-Jill bath. It’s an ideal setup for guests who want their own space, or for everyday living that balances separation with connection.

The Private Escape

The entire second floor is its own retreat. Before even entering the primary suite, you’re welcomed by a secondary living area perfect for a cozy movie room, reading nook, or rainy-day hideaway.

The primary suite itself is less “bedroom” and more sanctuary. A generously sized room, walk-in closet, spa-like bathroom, and complete privacy make it exactly where you want to land after a long day.

Move In, Stress Out (In a Good Way)

We all know moving, furnishing, and fully setting up a home is no small task. On an island, it’s even harder. That’s why the ease of a home that comes fully furnished with curated designer pieces can’t be overstated.

No shipping containers.
No waiting six months for a sofa.
It’s all already here.

  • The Kitchen: Fully updated, open, and designed so the cook is always part of the conversation—and the view.
  • The Comfort: We love the tradewinds, but having A/C when you want it is a total game-changer.
  • The Furnishings: Curated by local design firm Dwell Crush, the aesthetic feels like a home styled and ready for a photo shoot at any moment without feeling staged.

A Walkable, Active Lifestyle

If you love to walk, you’ll love Princeville. The Path a wide, paved walking loop, can completely change how you move through your day.

The Ritual

You’ll probably become a morning person without even trying. Sunrise walkers, joggers heading toward the bluffs, it’s part of the daily rhythm here.

Nature with Convenience

From your front door, you can walk to coffee at the Princeville Center, a yoga class, or groceries at Foodland. That kind of convenience is rare on an island.

If pickleball has pulled you in or you’re still loyal to tennis or golf you’ll find it all at Makai Golf Club, just a short walk away via the Path. The Princeville Center itself feels like the community’s living room, often filled with live slack-key guitar or night markets featuring local makers.

Princeville sits on a high plateau, offering sunsets with Makana and mountain views in the backdrop, and hiking access to Puu Poa BeachSealodge Beach, and Anini.

And maybe the best part? You’re just five minutes from iconic Hanalei Bay. Spend your morning walking the bay, then retreat back up the hill to your own private retreat at 4066 Aloalii.
