Zen Oaezis in Sacred Valley

8 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents3 acres · Hauula, HI

At OAEZIS, we offer more than just a stay—its an adventure. We invite you to learn and connect with the land, natural ecosystem, and Hawaiian culture. Nestled on Oahu’s most undeveloped side, this is a peaceful retreat where you can learn about sustainable living, respect for the land ('Āina), and experience Hawaii’s untouched beauty. Your experience is important to us, and we strive to create a memorable, immersive journey for each guest. Whether you are here to relax or engage with our cultural programs, we want you to feel at home while learning about the ecosystem and Hawaiian traditions. Sacred Valley is conveniently located just a couple minutes (1 km) from the highway and 8 minutes (6.5 km) from the Polynesian Cultural Center. There are world-class food trucks in the area, deserted beaches, and renowned North Shore surf spots. We offer amenities like picnic tables, communal flush toilets and hose showers to ensure your comfort, while still maintaining an off-grid experience. We encourage you to bring essentials like bug spray and a flashlight, and come prepared to walk, explore, and embrace nature. For those looking to learn, we offer 'Āina programs including cultural activities such as Fire Knife Dancing, Polynesian Drumming, and farm tours. Sacred Valley is a place where your presence matters. We invite you to participate in the stewardship of this special land and leave with a deeper understanding of Hawaii’s natural and cultural heritage.

Waimanalo Farmstay

5 sites · Lodging, RVs5 acres · Kailua, HI

This is a breathtaking space that our family has poured many decades and multiple generations into. We are surrounded by jungle, with a freshwater stream running through the entire property and unobstructed mountain views. You are welcome to explore the grounds and enjoy the land. Chickens roam freely, with the occasional pig sightings in the evening. We do have a fair bit of bugs and geckos. If you’re especially sensitive to mosquitos, this might not be the place for you! Waimanalo is a small agricultural town filled with nurseries, horse stables, and a high concentration of Hawaiian homes. It remains mostly undeveloped and authentic, and we aim to keep it that way. While nestled against the mountains, we're just a five minute drive from the beach. We are fifteen minutes from Kailua town, where you'll find several grocery stores, shops, and restaurants. There are so many great beach and land activities nearby, and I'm happy to lead you in the direction of whatever you might be interested in! We are very protective of this land and town, but would love to share the space with respectful travelers looking for an authentic experience. While we are very hospitable, we are not in the business of hospitality. This is a working farm. I am happy to accommodate travelers, but I am not here at your beck and call. If that is the experience you are seeking, I think you would be happier elsewhere. We appreciate all of your bookings, and profits go directly back into farm infrastructure and new fruit trees. Thank you for looking!
