Crystal Hefner decided to make a fresh start after the loss of her husband, Hugh Hefner, in 2017. And she chose a pretty good state for it.
“I fell in love with [Hawaii],” Crystal, 37, says exclusively in the latest issue of Us Weekly. “The waterfalls, the scenery, everything.”

The former model confessed she “needed a change” after living in the Playboy Mansion for 10 years. She told Us that she will open up about her experiences living in the infamous home in her upcoming memoir, Only Say Good Things: Surviving Playboy and Finding Myself, which will drop in 2024.
“I was in that bubble for a decade,” she tells Us. “Building in Hawaii was a process of finding out what I like and what I want and who I am. It’s been a healing journey.”
During her search for her dream home, she came across an abandoned 6.5-acre lychee orchard that she saw a lot of potential in. Crystal restored the sprawling orchard and transformed the land into her tropical dream property.
She partnered with Paradise Tiny Homes, a company that builds small, eco-friendly houses, to create a place that wouldn’t disrupt the beautiful natural surroundings. Crystal decorated the “magical” 290-square-foot home with personal touches like Spanish tile and a mango wood bar- and tabletops. The off-the-grid pad is even eco-friendly, boasting solar panels and a system to collect rainwater.
