Wailea Ekahi - Oceanfront Simplicity, Wrapped in Tropical Comfort

Just steps from the golden sands of Keawakapu Beach, Wailea Ekahi is a rare gem that blends island casual with resort-style comfort. Known for its low-rise design, spacious greenbelts, and direct beach access, this oceanfront community has become a favorite for second-home buyers, investors, and anyone seeking a laid-back, upscale Maui lifestyle.

Whether you’re sipping morning coffee with a view or strolling the coastal path toward world-class resorts, life at Wailea Ekahi feels like a deep breath of fresh air.

 A True Village Feel, Steps from the Shore

Set on 34 acres of lush tropical landscaping, Wailea Ekahi truly lives up to the hype —  this beloved community delivers with its beachfront location, privacy, and easygoing elegance.

The feel here is light, open, and grounded. With low-density construction, winding paths, and open grassy areas, there's a sense of space and flow that's hard to find in more vertical developments. Four conveniently located pools (one direct oceanfront), two tennis courts, many BBQ areas, and a recently renovated oceanfront pavilion round out this spectacular complex. At Wailea Ekahi, the air is pure, the sun is shining, and the dress code? Pure aloha casual.

Diverse Floorplans and Configurations
Studios to 2-bedroom condos with open lanais and upstairs units with vaulted ceilings create a light, airy feel tailored to every lifestyle.

Oceanfront Value in Wailea’s Most Relaxed Village

Unlike many condo communities in Wailea, Wailea Ekahi offers direct beachfront access—no crossing roads or cutting through hotel lobbies. From your unit, you’re just a few moments away from soft sand, calm waters, and some of the best sunset views on the island.

Buyers love the variety of floor plans, the mix of original units and tastefully remodeled residences, and the flexibility of short-term rental zoning, which makes it a popular option for vacation rental income when not in use. At the same time, its tranquil layout and residential vibe make it feel far more personal than your average resort.

Looking for a quiet second home or a high-performing vacation rental? Ekahi checks both boxes.
