Description Above Koko Head: Honolulu

Perched on the Waialae Iki ridge above Honolulu, this villa offers an infinity-edge pool that looks out over Koko Head and the Pacific. Art-forward interiors open onto covered lanais, and the alfresco dining terrace, set among palms with a fire pit nearby, makes evenings outdoors an easy choice. When you're not in the water or under the trees, there's a fitness room and cinema room to retreat to. Ready to venture out? Waikiki and central Honolulu are within a twenty-minute drive.

Home truths:
* This is a three-storey villa, so you'll be moving between levels regularly – whether heading to the pool terrace, the fitness room, or the alfresco dining area. It's worth bearing in mind if anyone in your group has mobility considerations.
* You'll find expensive artwork and ornaments in this home, so it might not be the best choice if you're travelling with young children.
* Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay.
