Makena Place: Oceanfront Privacy & Island Elegance

Hidden along the coast on Maui’s prestigious south shore, Makena Place is one of one in oceanfront gated communities where serenity, prestige, and views converge. With just ten distinct homes on a lush five-acre parcel, it offers detached single-family residences that feel both intimate and exclusive. Whether you're seeking a vacation hideaway, full-time luxury escape, or heritage property, Makena Place delivers with style, location, and privacy.

 Oceanfront Setting & Views to Inspire

Makena Place homes are sited along the shoreline or just off it, with views over the expanse of the pacific, including outer islands and vibrant sunsets. Many residences feature outdoor living as central design (lanai, pools, ocean-front yard spaces), bringing the ocean into everyday moments. The proximity to ocean and sound of surf contribute to a deeply calming environment rarely found in larger or more commercialized resort districts. 

 Resort Access Without the Resort Noise

While Makena Place is decidedly private, access to Wailea’s top amenities is effortless. Snorkeling at Turtle Town is only minutes away; kayaking, diving, and paddleboarding are all accessible from Makena beaches. Dining at Gather on Maui with its ocean views, or Kō Restaurant for seafood, or Ferraro’s at the Four Seasons for refined Italian-coastal fare, are part of weekly rhythm. Golfers can tee off at Wailea Golf Club’s three courses. All that, without living amid large crowds or constant through-traffic.

Considering Makena Place as Your Next Home?

If what matters is oceanfront elegance, privacy, and a small-home community with high design standards, Makena Place is exceptional. Properties here don’t turn over often. I can assist you in evaluating active MLS listings, off-market opportunities, and help you understand what criteria matter (view orientation, landscaping, finish level, privacy from neighbors).
