The Garden Isle

Perched above Poipu's fairways with the Pacific stretching out beyond the pool, this six-bedroom villa is made for long, unhurried days under the Hawaiian sun. Retractable glass walls open the living area to warm ocean breezes, while king suites with private lanais offer a quieter retreat when you want it. An outdoor shower rinses off the day beside ancient lava-stone walls, and a home gym looks onto tropical gardens for those who can't quite switch off. Spouting Horn – where the ocean jets through a lava tube blowhole – is a twenty-two-minute walk, and Waimea Canyon is within reach for a day trip.

Home truths:
* One of the bedrooms has two double-over-double bunk bed that can sleep up to four people – we think it might be best suited to children.
* This is a single-level home, so it may suit guests with reduced mobility.
* This home is currently listed for sale, so there’s a rare chance your host might need to carry out viewings during your stay – advance notice would be given.
* This private residence sits within a resort but is not part of the resort programme – you won't have access to the facilities during your stay.
* Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay.
* While the home can sleep up to eight people, the maximum occupancy is sixteen guests.
