HGTV’s new series Renovation Aloha gives fans an inside look at life in Hawaii. The show features hosts Tristyn and Kamohai Kalama, a married couple born and raised on the island, as they take some of the most dilapidated homes in the area and turn them into beautiful spaces for others to buy. With the beautiful landscape viewers see while watching, many people are wondering, where is Renovation Aloha filmed?

Where Is HGTV’s ‘Renovation Aloha’ Filmed?

The series is filmed in O’ahu, Hawaii. The Go Hawaii website says that O’ahu is sometimes referred to as “the gathering place” and is the third largest island in Hawaii. Even though it’s not the biggest island (that title belongs to Hawaii Island,) it serves as home to one third of the entire population of Hawaii.

Go Hawaii describes O’ahu as “a fusion of East and West cultures rooted in the values and traditions of the Native Hawaiian people. It’s this fundamental contrast between the ancient and the modern that makes discovering Oʻahu — from bustling city life to laidback surf towns — so enjoyable.”
