Wailea Ekolu Living: Where Views, Value, and Location Align

Perched above the Pacific on Wailea’s sun-soaked hillside, Wailea Ekolu Village blends sweeping ocean views with the kind of everyday comfort that makes island living effortless. Set among lush tropical gardens and overlooking the Wailea Blue Golf Course, this beloved community offers a relaxed elegance that appeals to both seasoned visitors and first-time dreamers.

Whether you're here to unwind, invest, or simply soak in the sunset from your lanai, Wailea Ekolu is the kind of place that feels like home the moment you arrive.

 A Quiet Escape, Built for Views and Breathing Room

Originally developed in the late 70's and early 1980s, Wailea Ekolu’s enduring appeal lies in its smart design and ideal elevation. With 148 units across 18 buildings on 18 rolling acres, this low-density complex was built with space, serenity, and sweeping vistas in mind. Many units offer direct sunset views over the Pacific, while others frame Haleakalā or the fairways below.

The interiors vary—from tasteful updates to high-end remodels—but most feature vaulted ceilings, open kitchens, private lanais, and an easy indoor-outdoor flow. Whether you're enjoying a quiet morning coffee or gathering with friends after a day at the beach, Wailea Ekolu invites you to do it all with a view.
