Black Point is one of Hawaii’s most exclusive enclaves. With a prestigious Kahala address and dramatic oceanfront setting below iconic Diamond Head, it has always attracted prominent families and celebrities. Historic bungalows blend seamlessly with contemporary estates, creating a richly layered neighborhood abundant in Island charm and opulence.
Created by an ancient volcanic eruption, Black Point gently slopes to black lava-rock cliffs and magnificent crashing waves. In fact, Hawaiians used to call the petite point Kupikipikio, or “rough sea.” Secluded golden-sand beaches trace the coastline on both sides.
The neighborhood’s oldest homes date to the 1920s and 1930s and include a property on the National Register of Historic Places as well as a modernist masterpiece by Vladimir Ossipoff. In 1936 American heiress Doris Duke built her 5-acre estate, Shangri La, on its eastern oceanfront. The landmark residence is now a museum of art. Notable Black Point homeowners have also included Tom Selleck, Martin Denny and Duke Kahanamoku.
Today Black Point has 84 homes, a third secured behind a community gate. Beyond the gate, residents have access to an oceanfront shearwater seabird sanctuary and a private, ocean-fed infinity pool.
