Welcome to Mana Kai Palms! Our luxurious, newly renovated condominium is located on Keawakapu Beach, named Maui's best for its pristine sand, clear waters, and abundant marine life. The Mana Kai resort offers a wide range of amenities, and with only 100 units, provides a warm, family feel. We are conveniently located minutes from all South Maui has to offer and hosted by Tracy O'Reilly, a Superhost and #1 rated rental agent on Maui. Do as much as you want or as little as you desire! We chose the name, Mana Kai Palms, because of its Hawaiian meaning. Mana is “spirit” and Kai is "ocean" or “Spirit of the Ocean”. Step through the front door, feel the sea breeze and enjoy the spectacular, tranquil views of ocean, beach, and swaying palm trees. Relaxation, peace, and Aloha will wash over you. Keawakapu Beach is rated one of the top beaches in Maui; golden sand, turquoise waters, and perfect sunsets. The colorful coral reef is teeming with turtles and fish, making this one of the top snorkeling spots on Maui. The beach is a mile long, great for morning or evening strolls. To top it off, there is a raised grassy area with palm trees, great for games or getting some partial shade. It is a remarkable combination that you won't find anywhere else. You can spend your days relaxing and soaking up the Maui sunshine, swim, boogie board, surf, fish, paddle board, scuba dive, kayak, beachcomb, yoga, whale watch, or take a boat ride. Check out the wing foilers or try it yourself. You will have the perfect recipe for a fun-filled, relaxing, romantic, action-packed vacation. The Condominium Mana Kai Palms 409 is fully remodeled with elegant and sophisticated furnishings chosen by a renowned interior designer. Our guests can expect a modern, “Four Seasons” style with an unparalleled beach and ocean background. As soon as you enter, you will see that this unit is all about the views and feeling close to nature. The open floor plan enables you to fully experience the Maui paradise that you will want to return to year after year. The private lanai faces the ocean directly with a view spanning from the slopes of Haleakala, across the vast Pacific, to the neighboring islands of Molokini and Kahoʻolawe. It runs the length of both the primary bedroom and living room and is equipped with a table for four, so you can enjoy the tranquil sounds of the ocean and wondrous views day and night: Coffee as the sun rises over the mountain, beach goers, surf and whales during the day, dinner as the sun sets, and then a drink while the stars and southern constellations come out. Mana Kai Palms has two bedrooms sleeping up to four guests, two bathrooms with walk-in, tiled showers, and a fully-loaded chef's kitchen where everything is new. Beautiful, custom shoji doors slide shut to divide the primary bedroom from the living room space. Fall asleep nightly to the sound of the waves while stargazing and watching the palm trees and the moon reflect upon the ocean. It really is picture-perfect, postcard material!

Each bed is equipped with high thread count, triple wrapped linens with custom, decorative, lumbar pillows, and coordinating bed runners.
