Moana Lani

Moana Lani by Gather
The south shore of O‘ahu changes character east of Diamond Head. The pace slows as Maunalua Bay opens between Kahala and Hawai‘i Kai, a stretch of protected water framed by Koko Head and lined with oceanfront homes, paddlers, and calm morning waters. Moana Lani by Gather sits directly on that shoreline. Six bedrooms across 5,100 square feet, a private pool and hot tub, expansive lawn, separate guest cottage, and a Philip “Pip” White design that quietly understands oceanfront living in Hawai‘i.

The Interior
The floor plan opens toward the bay. Kitchen, dining, and family rooms sit under one ceiling line, with sliding doors that pull the lanai inside on calm mornings. The kitchen features marble counters, polished wood cabinetry, stainless appliances, and generous prep space designed for long meals and easy gathering. Nearby living and dining spaces flow easily between indoor comfort and outdoor entertaining, while the separate media room is where evenings settle in: deep seating, a wide flat-screen, and a Sonos system that follows you room to room.

At the Water's Edge
Outside is where the property fully settles into its rhythm. The lanai opens onto a vast oceanfront lawn with multiple lounging areas, shaded seating, and open space to spread out throughout the day, all positioned toward the calm waters of Maunalua Bay. The private pool and hot tub create a more secluded retreat space, while shuffleboard, the BBQ area, basketball hoop, and pickleball setup create space for both laid-back afternoons and active days outdoors.

The water along Maunalua Bay is typically calm and protected, well suited for paddleboarding, kayaking, and slow mornings by the shoreline. Most evenings naturally end outside, with ocean breezes moving across the lawn as the coastline lights begin to glow in the distance.

The Guest Cottage
A separate guest cottage sits on the property with its own king bedroom, two twin beds, ensuite bath, wet bar, pool table, and fitness area. More than additional sleeping space, the cottage creates a flexible second gathering area for multi-generational families, groups traveling together, or guests wanting a little more privacy during extended stays. There is also a poolside room with a twin trundle and adjacent full bath, useful for additional guests or flexible sleeping arrangements (no A/C in that room).

• Primary Suite 1 (upper level): king bed, ensuite bath with soaking tub and walk-in shower, ocean views, shared veranda
• Primary Suite 2 (upper level): king bed plus sofa bed, ensuite bath with soaking tub and walk-in shower, ocean views, shared veranda

The bay is at its calmest before sunrise. Pour a cup of coffee, walk the lanai, and let O‘ahu’s south shore set the pace. Moana Lani by Gather is built for that rhythm.
