Considered a suburb of Honolulu, Aina Haina is often described as a wonderful, family-friendly little town that offers the best of both worlds – the epitome of island living with the conveniences that larger metropolitan areas boast less than 10 miles away. Aina Haina was first established in the early 1940s and continued to develop through the 1950s and 1060s. One of the most cherished qualities is that it is still a small community – unincorporated and quiet. There are 25,000 people living in Aina Haina and most say they lead a nice, simple, and absolutely perfect life. 

Living in Aina Haina

The Honolulu area is full of small communities that attract residents to live. One of them is Aina Haina. It sits on East Oahu just east of Honolulu surrounded by two ridges -- Waialae Iki and Hawaii Loa Ridge –Even though it is a small community, residents can get what they need within town. The main thoroughfare is Hind Drive which, in effect, loops around the town giving it a very cozy atmosphere.

Many prefer to stay close to home without venturing into other areas which is why Aina Haina is a preferred area. It has everything anyone needs. One the highlights of the town is the Aina Haina Shopping Center located in the heart of the community at the intersection of Kalanianaole Highway and West Hind Drive. The recently remodeled shopping center features one of the nicest Foodland Farms grocery stores (also remodeled) as a base tenant.

Additionally, there are a handful of restaurants, a yoga studio, a surf shop (of course) and more. One of its more popular restaurants is the La Tour Café. The Hawai’i based café is known for their bakery items as well as made to order soups, salads, pizzas and sandwiches; however, their bakery is filled with absolutely delectable items like macaroons and Kouign Amann – maybe the best you’ve ever had.

Aina Haina has three area parks ideal for families. Aina Haina Community Park features tennis, volleyball and basketball courts as well as a playground for kids to play. Not far from Aina Haina is the Maunalua Bay Beach Park in Hawaii Kai. The backdrop is spectacular as it is situated between Koko Crater and Koko Head, the two peaks located east of Maunalua Bay. This gorgeous park is a favorite for locals to paddlers, boaters, kayakers, fishers and picnickers. After all, what else is there to do in a town that butts up to one of the most spectacular bodies of water.

Best of all, anyone who lives in Aina Haina says that they love the location. Not only are they close to the Pacific Ocean, they can go and see so much within a 30-minute drive of Aina Haina. From some of the most amazingly lush and green state and national parks to other area towns and neighborhoods in and around Honolulu, no one should ever say they are bored but rather “it would be nice to stay home this weekend.” Hanauma Bay Nature Preserve, Diamond Head State Park, and even into some of the cool neighborhoods like Kapahulu and Waikiki are just a few of the top areas to spend a day.

Since Honolulu is so close, it makes it easy to be in the middle of a major city and all it has to offer. The Waikiki Aquarium, USS Arizona Memorial, and the Honolulu Zoo are just a few of the attractions worth making the 30-minute drive. 

For entertainment, the Hawai’i Theatre is the only theatre of its kind in Hawai’i and brings world-renowned musical artists to its stage for astounding performances. On the other end of the spectrum, the Diamond Head Theatre is Honolulu’s venue Broadway performances.
