Waikiki living with mountain and canal views

Waikiki Lanais, a 21-story condominium completed in 1978, stands as a fixture in the vibrant Waikiki neighborhood. With 160 units, this building offers residents a prime location just blocks from the world-famous Waikiki Beach. The structure provides sweeping views of the Ala Wai Canal, golf course, and the majestic Koolau mountain range. Its position on the quieter end of Waikiki allows for a more relaxed atmosphere while still being within easy reach of the area's renowned shopping, dining, and entertainment options.

Versatile layouts with modern updates

Waikiki Lanais offers a range of floor plans to suit various needs, from cozy one-bedroom units to spacious three-bedroom homes. The one-bedroom units, spanning 510 to 654 square feet, provide an efficient use of space and are priced from $141,000 to $360,000. These units often feature updated kitchens with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and gas ranges, perfect for those who enjoy cooking. The two-bedroom units, ranging from 734 to 839 square feet, offer more space and flexibility, with prices from $145,000 to $540,000. Many of these units boast renovated interiors with luxury vinyl flooring, quartz countertops, and updated bathrooms. Some two-bedroom layouts include 1.5 bathrooms, adding convenience for residents and guests. For those requiring more space, the three-bedroom units, approximately 800 square feet, provide ample room for families or those who need extra space for a home office. These larger units typically have one bathroom and have been thoughtfully designed to maximize living areas. A standout feature of many units is the spacious lanai, some extending the full length of the apartment, offering an additional 150-200 square feet of outdoor living space. These lanais provide the perfect setting for enjoying the stunning views of Diamond Head, the ocean, or the Koolau mountains. Residents appreciate the building's attention to comfort, with many units equipped with split air conditioning systems and ceiling fans to combat the tropical heat. Some apartments have been fitted with remote-controlled shades and Alexa-enabled technology for added convenience. Monthly HOA fees range from $100 to $200 and include a special assessment. Notably, these fees cover all utilities, including electricity, gas, water, sewer, and even cable and internet, providing significant value and predictability for residents' monthly expenses.

Resort-inspired amenities for active lifestyles

Waikiki Lanais offers an array of amenities designed to enhance the living experience of its residents. The rooftop deck stands out as a highlight, featuring BBQ grills, a wet bar, and picnic tables, all while providing panoramic views of Waikiki, Diamond Head, and the Pacific Ocean. This space serves as an ideal spot for entertaining guests or enjoying a quiet evening under the stars. For fitness enthusiasts, the building provides a well-equipped exercise room, allowing residents to maintain their workout routines without leaving the premises. After a vigorous workout, residents can unwind in the sauna or take a refreshing dip in the swimming pool. The adjacent hot tub offers a perfect spot for relaxation and socializing.

This thoughtful addition reflects the active, outdoor-oriented lifestyle of many Waikiki residents.

The presence of an on-site resident manager and 24/7 security staff further enhances the sense of safety and comfort. For added convenience, the building offers guest parking, a rarity in the bustling Waikiki area. The spacious laundry room on the premises eliminates the need for in-unit laundry equipment, saving valuable space within the apartments. Pet owners will appreciate the fenced dog park located at the back of the parking garage, providing a safe space for furry friends to exercise and socialize.
