The Space

Set amidst lush tropical gardens and just moments from the beach, Manoa is an architectural masterpiece designed to embrace the natural beauty of its surroundings. With its seamless indoor-outdoor flow, this sophisticated villa offers an unparalleled backdrop for film productions, high-end photography shoots, and exclusive events.

Manoa’s open pavilion-style layout, comprising three interconnected pavilions, is tailor-made for capturing the essence of island luxury. Expansive retractable sliding walls dissolve the boundaries between interior and exterior spaces, flooding the villa with natural light and offering uninterrupted access to the temperature-controlled mineral pool, manicured lawns, and lush tropical greenery. The serene fish-filled water feature with lily pads adds an extra layer of tranquility, creating an ethereal setting for productions that require a dreamy, nature-infused ambiance.

For filmmakers and photographers, Manoa presents a dynamic space that can adapt to a variety of creative visions. The high ceilings, Japanese black wood, and polished stone floors exude understated elegance, offering a refined yet organic aesthetic that complements fashion campaigns, lifestyle editorials, and cinematic storytelling. The open-plan living and dining areas, framed by architectural lines and tropical flora, create the perfect setting for luxury brand shoots, commercial productions, and influencer content.

For event planners, Manoa is more than just a location—it’s an immersive experience. The property features five elegantly appointed bedrooms, four luxurious bathrooms, a media room, study, and a fully equipped outdoor entertaining area, complete with a built-in BBQ, sink, and wine fridge. Whether hosting an intimate wedding, a corporate retreat, or a high-profile launch event, this private beachfront estate provides an atmosphere of exclusivity and sophistication.

Located in the prestigious Beachfront Mirage Estate, Manoa offers a rare combination of privacy and accessibility, making it an ideal choice for large-scale productions that require seamless logistics and effortless elegance. Every corner of the property is designed to enhance visual storytelling, from the reflective stillness of the pool to the dappled sunlight filtering through towering palms.
