7 Healthy Ways to Reconnect & Unwind at Hokuli‘a

Hokuli’a is an exclusive community on the Kona Coast of Hawai‘i Island where you can purchase a beautifully designed home that’s ready to enjoy or build a custom residence. With so many purchase options, generous lot sizes, and more than 1,200 uncrowded acres to explore in and around the private, exclusive Club at Hokuli‘a, you’ll find it easy to stretch out, relax and unwind in this special location.

Life at Hokuli‘a offers loads of perks. We’ve outlined a few for the health-conscious looking for a place to recharge their battery and reconnect through a mindful, healthful lifestyle.

Morning Yoga Classes

Rise with the morning sun as it emerges over Mauna Loa to stretch and unwind at one of the Club at Hokuli‘a’s weekly yoga classes. Classes are taught by Kona-based instructor and devoted yoga practitioner Amanda Griggs, who has studied the practice of Iyengar yoga since 2003. She also teaches private one-on-one or small group sessions. Classes are currently held on Monday & Thursday mornings at 8:30 and also on Monday evenings at 5:00 pm in the Club’s open-air yoga space.

World-Class Golf

With panoramic ocean views from almost every tee box and green, your game is bound to improve. Honing your swing never felt so relaxing. Get a foursome together to play one of Hawaii’s highest-ranked golf courses, and reap the rewards from the challenges presented by the Club’s Jack Nicklaus Signature designed course. With year-round sunshine, cooling breezes, and these views, what’s not to love about the game? Best of all, the club is exclusively used by Hokuli‘a resident members, so it’s truly yours to enjoy.

Weekly Tennis Clinics

On Fridays, members gather at the Club’s green clay, Har-Tru tennis courts for cardio tennis clinics. Practice your serve and backhand and rev up your heart health while connecting with friends, both new and old. Friday morning tennis clinics are currently held weekly at the Club at 8:30 am.

Bocce Ball

Enjoy some fun with the whole family at the Club at Hokuli‘a’s authentic bocce ball courts made from crushed oyster shells. While it’s often thought of as Italian bowling, the game of bocce dates all the way back to the Roman Empire. It has variations in France and Britain (pétanque and British bowls). It’s inherently a social game, which is why you’ll see matches being played in parks and public spaces all over Europe. As with tennis, the social connections made over a match at Hokuli‘a are an important part of the health benefits!

Gardening

Part of the magic of Hokuli‘a is that lot sizes run from one to two acres, and each property has its own agricultural easement. With a year-round growing season, abundant sunshine and nutrient-rich, volcanic soils, you can grow your own healthy produce. What better way to get some fresh air, sunshine, and gentle exercise while connecting with the Earth? The best part is that you get to reap the benefits a second time when you eat the veggies grown with your own efforts. For effortless gardening, plant banana, mango, papaya, lime, and other fruit-bearing trees on your property and reap the bounty year after year.

Tai Chi Classes

The art of Tai Chi has been practiced for centuries. The slow-moving, rhythmic, and mesmerizing movements are designed for defense training, but they provide loads of great health benefits. Tai Chi improves balance, reduces stress, and serves as a form of moving meditation.  Classes are currently held on Wednesday and Friday mornings in the Club’s spa breezeway.

Swimming & Water Aerobics

Hokulia’s 3-lane lap pool is perfect for staying fit. The Club offers group water aerobics classes three mornings a week, or you can perfect your stroke in the Olympic-length lanes designed for fitness and swimming enthusiasts. Dive into the Pacific from the 140-acre shoreline park or head to one of Hawai‘i Island’s beautiful beaches for some snorkeling and sunbathing. Follow up with some relaxation time in the Club’s private men’s and women’s lounges or head to the Hokuli‘a spa for a relaxing massage.
