Considered the most sacred of the island’s five volcanoes, Mauna Kea’s summit is the highest in all Hawaii. Quite naturally, ancient Hawaiian law reserved visits to the peak for only the highest-ranking nobles. In keeping with this tradition, at the Mauna Kea Resort among the most favored sites are those at the highest elevation. The centerpiece of the upland properties are the Hapuna Estates, eleven homesites with three residences now underway. All Hapuna Estates homeowners can comfortably stroll to their own private community amenity, the ‘Amaui Clubhouse, designed by de Reus Architects, one of Architectural Digest’s “Top 100 Architects and Designers.”
