Mahina Kai, Princeville Oceanfront Luxury, Steps to Hideaways
A rare jewel on Kauai’s North Shore. Welcome to Mahina Kai — a newly renovated, designer-styled luxury condo perched on the ocean bluffs of Princeville. This boutique retreat blends modern elegance with soulful artistry, offering an exclusive experience unlike anything else on the island.
Step outside your ground-floor lanai to manicured lawns and sweeping ocean views. From the comfort of your designer sofa, watch whales breach in the winter months, rainbows arc across the horizon, and the sun rise over the Pacific. Just beyond your door, a private trail leads to Hideaways Beach — one of Kauai’s most treasured gems — and a short stroll takes you to the 1 Hotel for world-class dining and sunset cocktails.
Living Art by Design
Every element at Mahina Kai has been thoughtfully curated by luxury designer Briana of Dwell Crush, known for her elevated and soulful interiors. Each piece has been hand-selected to create an atmosphere that is both living art and ultimate comfort.
Spa-inspired bathrooms feature hand-painted microcrete finishes, evoking the feel of a private retreat.
Custom counters and artisan details reflect the craftsmanship of local Kauai makers. Balinese pantry panels were hand-sourced and installed by a local carpenter, bringing global elegance into island living. Local fine art photography adorns the walls, showcasing Kauai’s natural beauty through the lens of a celebrated island photographer. This level of detail creates a space that feels at once luxurious, soulful, and deeply connected to place.
Spacious Oceanfront Living
With 2 spacious bedrooms — both featuring Cal King beds with luxurious linens — and 2 spa-style bathrooms with walk-in showers and a soaking tub, Mahina Kai is designed for indulgence. At 2,200 sq. ft., it is one of the largest residences in the Pu’u Poa community, with soaring ceilings and a seamless open-concept design. A state-of-the-art gourmet kitchen with brand-new appliances and a grand dining area make hosting effortless and memorable.

- A private ocean-view pool (approximately 3-7 feet deep)
- Tennis Pickleball courts
- Beautifully maintained tropical grounds
- And for your adventures: curated beach gear (towels, chairs, cooler, umbrella) ensures every outing is effortless.
