Wailea and Makena offer some of Maui’s most distinctive condominium living, with a collection of communities that emphasize thoughtful architecture, exceptional landscaping, and a strong connection to the surrounding landscape. Wailea is the more polished and resort-oriented of the two, with complexes set among manicured grounds, world-class golf, beaches, dining, and luxury resorts. Many of the condo communities here feel more like private residential enclaves than traditional resort properties, with generous floor plans, expansive lanais, and carefully considered indoor-outdoor spaces. From the modern lines of Wailea Point to the tropical character of Wailea Palms and the beachfront setting of the Andaz Villas, the architecture and design of each community play an important role in the experience of owning here.

South of Wailea, Makena offers a quieter and more natural expression of South Maui. The landscape becomes less developed, the coastline more dramatic, and the communities more intimate, with homes and condos designed to take advantage of the surrounding ocean, mountains, and open space. Together, Wailea and Makena offer something quite different from many other Maui condo markets: a greater emphasis on design, privacy, landscaping, and a sense of place. For buyers who appreciate architecture and want their Maui property to feel thoughtfully integrated with its setting, the condo communities of Wailea and Makena offer some of the island’s most compelling options.
