The Kohala Property Market Snapshot for March 2026 highlights one of the most remarkable regions along the west coast of the Big Island of Hawaii. The island is commonly referred to as the “Big Island” to distinguish it from both the State of Hawaii and the island name itself. Within this region, Kohala is traditionally divided into North Kohala and South Kohala, each offering a distinct setting and lifestyle. North Kohala is known for its quiet, rural atmosphere, anchored by the historic towns of Hawi and Kapaʻau, along with the nearby Kohala Ranch communities just to the south.
Moving down the coast, South Kohala begins just below Kohala Ranch and is home to several of Hawaii’s most recognized resort destinations, 
including Mauna Kea Resort, Mauna Lani Resort, and Waikoloa Beach Resort. This area also encompasses Waikoloa Village, located approximately six miles inland, as well as Waimea, a scenic town set within the green landscapes of Waimea Valley.
