All About Makena Surf by Maui Resort Rentals

Overlooking the magnificent turquoise-hued waters of the blue Pacific Ocean from an isolated stretch of the pristine Po’olenalena Beach, Makena Surf boasts 105 luxurious villas with stunning views of Molokini Crater and neighboring islands Lanai and Kaho’olawe. Only a short drive from some of the most prestigious resorts, spas, golf courses, and dining on all of Maui, this secluded oceanfront community offers an intimate refuge from daily life with all the luxuries of high-end resort living. Let the rejuvenating waters, radiant sun, and soft sands of this exclusive tropical haven lull you into a dreamy state of relaxation and calm.

Ten lush acres of emerald green lawns and dense treescapes feature six two- to three-story buildings with bright open layouts and large floor-to-ceiling windows that seamlessly blend the interior with the natural landscape. Expect sweeping panoramic views from whatever residence you choose, as every building is enviously situated steps from the ocean.

While the gated property is primarily made up of two- to three-bedroom floor plans ranging from just over 1000 sq ft to nearly 2000 sq ft, some villas have been renovated to deliver up to five spacious bedrooms and bathrooms. Each showcases a unique island design, accentuated by modern furnishings, rich woods, and beautiful tiles. 

Skip the farmers market and stop by one of the two herb gardens found around the property to upgrade any dish. Prepare a nourishing home-cooked meal with your findings in a fully appointed kitchen with top-of-the-line appliances, and reminisce with family and friends as you dine around your private dining table. An expansive lanai serves as the perfect lookout to experience picturesque sunsets and, in the winter months, watch migrating humpback whales put on magnificent displays. 

Follow the stone paths beachfront and spend your mornings snorkeling alongside sea turtles and tropical fish or searching for vibrant coral along the white sandy shore. Balance your time with a tennis match or two at one of the four tennis courts available on site, or take a dip in one of the two sparkling pools on either side of the property. From water aerobics to tennis, an exciting lineup of free classes is taught on-site weekly by friendly staff for you and your group to enjoy.

Rich in pristine beaches, flourishing volcanic reefs, and hidden coves, Makena Surf is the coastal traveler’s ideal retreat.
