Kalama Tract

Kalama Tract gives you authentic Hawaiian living without the tourist hustle.

Lush tropical gardens and swaying palms line the quiet streets, creating a perfect base for beach days, kayaking adventures, or exploring the nearby Kawainui Marsh. The neighborhood itself has few businesses, so you'll head to Kailua town center (just 5-10 minutes away) for restaurants, shopping, and weekly farmers markets. Most accommodations are vacation rentals with private pools and tropical gardens, offering a genuine slice of island life with easy beach access.

Maunawili's lush mountain setting offers an escape into Hawaii's natural paradise. Hikers tackle the challenging Olomana Three Peaks Trail or splash in the swimming hole beneath Maunawili Falls after a moderate 3-mile trek. The neighborhood winds through bamboo forests and tropical vegetation with birdsong as your soundtrack. Ancient Hawaiian history lives on at Ulu Pō Heiau State Monument. Accommodations are primarily upscale vacation rentals with mountain views and tropical landscaping.
