Aloha,

For many visitors to Maui the idea of staying in a private tropical beachfront estate appears impossible or just an idyllic scene of yesteryear. But a stay at the Kahana Nui Villa will make this dream come true.

As you enter through your own automatic wood gate, you'll find yourself immediately greeted in the courtyard with a towering Monkeypod tree surrounded with lush tropical gardens. Many people  immediately wander around the house first and are astonished to discover Kahana Nui is carefully nestled steps away from Maui's incredible marine sanctuary. It is not unusual to spot spinner or bottlenose dolphins playing, or humpback whales breaching just off shore. Sometimes you'll find giant green sea turtles (honu) or even endangered monk seals sunning themselves on the sand. Early risers, may wake to enjoy a stunning sunrise and discover local fisherman casting their traditional nets or spear diving for octopus (tako) in the shore break.      

Looking toward the ocean the views from the front of Kahana Nui stretch from the south shore of the island of Lana'i to Mokuniki just off shore of the north east edge of Moloka'i. These views are not just from the tranquil yard, but even from two stories of glass lined lanais not to mention from the comfort of the king size beds in four of the oceanfront master suites facing west inside the home.

The house itself is centered in the middle of the estate on large poles rising up towards the clouds. As you ascend the stairs and enter you are surrounded with unique architecture adorned in grand details commissioned by Indonesian artisans. Referred to by the locals as "The Bali House", Kahana Nui is a six bedroom, four and a half bath luxury oceanfront home on the beach in Kahana conveniently positioned between historical Lahaina Town and the exclusive resort area of Kapalua on the west shore of Maui.  The open-air and open-floor house was specifically designed to take advantage of the gentle trade wind breezes. The front of the house features a massive retractable floor-to-ceiling glass wall that easily slides away to create a refined indoor/outdoor oceanfront living and dining experience. On the rare occasions when the tradewinds ebb, each bedroom is equipped with their own individual air conditioning units.

For beach lovers, there is "no place like home" when you stay at Kahana Nui. Mere steps across the pillowy soft lawn you have your own escape to swim, snorkel, stand up paddle all directly in front of the home. However, if you like adventure some of the world's most renowned beaches are just minutes away - Kaanapali Beach to the south and Napili Bay to the north. However, most guests find themselves mostly swimming in the freshwater Honu pool, sunbathing poolside listening to the waterfall, or relaxing in the large hot tub sipping a Mai Tai.

Love golf?  Simply take a left out of the gate and idle north on Lower Honoapiillani Road (known around here as "sLower road.) where just minutes away are both the technically challenging PGA Plantation Course and it's more approachable sister The Kapalua Bay Course.

An Amazing Experience
My family of 10 had an amazing experience, with developing many wonderful memories! The home had exceeded our expectations and the location must be one of best on Maui. Between the home, pool, beach and provided paddle board, among many other beach & pool toys. Everyone had a great time, enjoying many engaging fun filled experiences individually and all together. We also had 3 sea turtles come up on the beach to rest and saw whales from the house from dusk to dawn. The indoor/outdoor seating enabled our entire family to sit together for meals, refreshments and for some time to jointly recant our experiences from the day. The oceanfront deck is also a perfect place to gather to jointly observe the sunset over the water. My family and I have rented many different properties across the country, this one has been the Best!!! Mahalo!

Gorgeous amazing house right on the water
Our extended family of nine people loved this beautiful house, directly on the edge of the water. We spent countless hours on the large deck, whale watching and spotting occasional sea turtles. February is perfect for whale sightings. The four master bedrooms are large and very comfortable. We kept the sliding glass doors pulled back so the great room extended directly onto the wonderful deck. We spent time in the heated hot tub, and the kids dipped in the lovely pool, which is not heated. We loved this well appointed house and highly recommend it. The check in and check out is a breeze with Suzy.

Gorgeous house and beautiful location
I came with a group of 11 graduate school friends now in their 60’s and this very special house and place was almost perfect! The home is gorgeous, having a pool and access to the beach was wonderful! I said almost because one of the king rooms was not accessible except by walking through another bedroom. This did not work well for the couples in those two rooms. It would work fine for a family. However, this small detail would not prevent us from returning!

Incredible property.
I cannot thank Suzy enough for such an amazing place! We had a blast all things considered with the fires in Maui in early August 2023. Even without internet, power and cell phone service, we had a great time enjoying the pool, beach access and seeing turtles from the lanai. We would not hesitate to return to this fantastic place when we return to Maui! Mahalo Suzy!

About the host

Hosted by Suzy Moffett

Host profile image
Aloha! My Name is Suzy Moffett and I have enjoyed all the wonders Maui has to offer to those of us lucky enough to live here: surfing, fishing, hiking, fantastic dining, unreal sunsets. My family and I have our home on Maui and run Kahana Nui Villa as an extension of our family home. Our guests become part of our extended Ohana.

Why they chose this property

When we built Kahana Nui, we dreamed of creating a unique home that would complement the beauty of this idyllic location. Our plans were to build a 'pole house', but we did not want it to have the appearance of a “house on poles”. A concept was developed for a ground level Lanai adapting the openness of the Bali style homes. By having beautiful, carved screens integrated into the supporting structure, a “Balinese Lanai” could be added to enhance the home. Trips were made to Bali and Java. The skill of the carvers and uniqueness of many items expanded the concept. The carved screens were used throughout the house. The furnishings were combined with decorations to capture the Bali Style. Many ideas were suggested and different approaches tried until the house evolved as you now see it.

What makes this property unique

Pure luxury In Paradise! Ocean breezes keep the climate temperate year round. From your choice of the upper or lower decks, you will enjoy spectacular views of the Islands of Lanai and Molokai. Magnificent sunsets are a daily pleasure. Located Only a few miles north of Lahaina and Kaanapali, in Kahana, Maui, the home sits on its own private little piece of oceanfront paradise. This location is ideal for shopping and dining out and is conveniently located just minutes from the West Maui airport and the world class Kapalua golf courses, as well as surf spots and unreal hikes.
