Kiahuna Golf Village: Poipu’s First Residential Golf Course Community
Developed in the 1980s, Kiahuna Golf Village holds a special place in South Shore real estate history as the first residential golf course community in Poipu. Situated along the Kiahuna Golf Course, designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr., the neighborhood features custom homes on spacious lots, many with golf course frontage, mountain views, or distant ocean vistas.
Located within Kauai’s Visitor Destination Area (VDA), short-term vacation rentals are permitted, making it a flexible option for both full-time residents and second-home owners. Despite that flexibility, the neighborhood maintains a calm, residential feel with wide streets, mature landscaping, and a strong sense of place.
Its close proximity to Poipu Beach, Poipu Shopping Village, restaurants, and resort amenities—combined with the limited number of available homes—keeps Kiahuna Golf Village in steady demand among buyers seeking a classic Poipu setting.
