The Albizia

Modern life, rebalanced.

Reconnect selectively.

Private domes. Modern comfort. Naturally grounded.
Sleep deeply. Wake clear.

  • A single dome on its platform at dusk, lanterns lit on the steps.

    Your dome. Your space. Private. Peaceful. Purposeful.

  • A dome bedroom under string lights, with a double bed and a round window.

    Sleep in style. Comfort that grounds you.

  • A dome lounge with armchairs around a low fire table.

    Modern. Minimal. Meaningful. Designed to unwind.

  • Two domes beyond a lantern-lit deck at sunset.

    Lava. Light. Luxury. Nature sets the tone.

  • A desk with a laptop and lamp inside a dome, facing a round window.

    Focus. Flow. Freedom. Work from anywhere.

The Property

Six domes on a hardened lava flow at Kalapana.

The property is built on a hardened Kīlauea flow on the eastern edge of Hawaiʻi Island. Six domes sit on raised platforms above the rock, powered by an on-site solar array.

A single white geodesic dome standing on the black lava field at sunset, a wind-bent albizia tree to the left and the flank of the volcano fading into haze behind.
The Domes

Six domes, two guests each

Each dome is a self-contained residence on its own raised platform, sleeping two. Six in total, spaced apart across the property.

See the domes

A dome bedroom at The Albizia: a grey upholstered bed with blue linen, a cream leather recliner and a carved wooden screen beneath the white geodesic frame, a round window above.

Sleeping

Each dome sleeps two, with a full-height window facing the lava field.

Interior styling at The Albizia: a pale stone counter and bar stools in a curved white space, the lava field beyond the window.

Living

A self-contained living area in every dome, separate from the shared pavilion.

The pavilion at dusk: two open-fronted shipping containers holding a lit bar and a leather lounge, café tables on the deck, bougainvillea and lava rock in front, and a rainbow over the lava field.

Gathering

A shared pavilion with a bar and seating for all twelve guests.

A guest in a folding chair on the black lava cliffs, fishing rod propped beside them, looking out over the Pacific under a rainbow.
Connected, not distracted

Step away without switching off

Days here follow the land: the swell on the cliffs, rain moving across the flow, an afternoon in a chair on the rock with a line in the water. Nothing asks for your attention.

When the rest of your life does, there is a quiet, connected space to answer it. Take the call, finish the work, then close the laptop and walk back outside.

The Land

Named after the albizia trees on the property.

The experience

Black lava sea cliffs on the Puna coast, green growth along the clifftop and surf breaking against the rock below.
A ground-mounted solar array on raw black lava rock under a clear blue sky, with young ferns growing through the cracks.
Off-Grid

Electricity from an on-site solar array

There is no utility connection to the property. Electricity comes from a ground-mounted solar array with battery storage that carries the domes overnight.

How it works
