Ewa Villages is a census-designated place (CDP) located in the ʻEwa District and the City & County of Honolulu on the leeward side of Oʻahu in Hawaiʻi approximately 20 miles (32 km) from downtown Honolulu. As of the 2020 census, the CDP had a population of 7,825.
This area was previously known as ʻEwa (in Hawaiian, ʻewa means “crooked”). In the late 19th century to early 20th century, ʻEwa was one of the large population centers on the island of Oʻahu, with industry focused around sugar cane production. The ʻEwa Mill was a major employer that set up residential villages within ʻEwa (from which the modern name arose). Sugar cane is no longer grown on the ʻEwa Plain and ʻEwa is now one of Oʻahu’s suburban growth centers—an area of substantial sprawl spreading unbroken to ʻEwa Gentry and ʻEwa Beach on the south, Kalaeloa on the southwest, and Kapolei on the west. This area is now referred to as Oʻahu’s Second City, with a city center (downtown) located in Kapolei.
Honouliuli is a former village and now a place name for the north end of ʻEwa, lying along Honouliuli Stream between ʻEwa Villages and Waipahu.
The U.S. postal code for ʻEwa is 96706, the same as ʻEwa Beach.

ʻEwa is a widely used directional term on Oʻahu, referring to the direction of the town of ʻEwa but meaning westward to those residing and working in Honolulu. Its opposite is “Diamond Head” (located at the east end of Waikīkī) or “Koko Head” (located still further east of downtown Honolulu).
Honouliuli Internment Camp, a World War II–era internment camp, operated there from 1943 to 1945.
