Dillingham Ranch
EST. 1985
Hawaii will never offer you a better chance at melting your brain and overwhelming your heart than this 2,700-acre estate that kicks up 19 acres of North Shore coastline.
No matter who you travel with, this is one of those wildly rumored—practically mythical—places that can actually make good on promising something for everyone: polo grounds, a forest reserve, a mountain range, a premiere equestrian center. The good land, complete with peacocks and just down the road from the historic surf town of Haleiwa, even boasts the largest coconut tree grove in the island chain. And all that's without ever stepping foot indoors.

Venue Setting
This naturally peaceful 2,700 acre property on the sunny North Shore of Oahu is a private working cattle ranch, equestrian center and agricultural gem. Wild peacocks and a variety of native Hawaiian birds wander among exotic fauna such as mango, monkeypod, citrus, macadamia nut and coconut groves. The Estate House boasts a 3,000 square foot dining room with a stonewall fireplace, hardwood floors, high ceiling beams, lovely French doors and statuesque pillars. Your eye rests upon lush groves and lawns up to the beautiful Waianae mountain range and the sky beyond. Attached to the main house is a state of the art 700 square foot professional grade kitchen with a separate vendor entrance. Different ceremony sites surrounding the eight-room house offer options such as the Central Courtyard, the Hundred Year Old Banyan Trees, and the Avenue of Royal Palms, but other photo and ceremony options on the sprawling property include Dillingham Lake, the Cross Country Course, and the largest Coconut Grove in Hawaii. The prominent Dillingham family originally built the Estate House in 1917 as their private summer retreat, and for many generations the house has welcomed people through her doors and surrounded her guests with natural beauty. Recently renovated and restored back the original period condition, she keeps the old Hawaii feel and charm alive. Come discover Dillingham Ranch, Oahu's hidden gem.
