About Luana Kai Resort:

Luana Kai is a beautiful resort with lovely grounds full of tropical plants. Best of all it is direct oceanfront, no busy roads to cross to reach the beach, no obstructions.

Enjoy fantastic Maui sunsets, excellent whale watching (December through April) and beach walks just 100 yards from the condo. The beach is perfect for snorkeling, paddle boarding, windsurfing, kayaking, kiteboarding, sunbathing, or looking for shells or turtles.

In addition to the 1.5 milelong beach in front of Luana Kai, several well-known beaches including Keawakapu, Kamaole II, Kamaole III, Charley Young, and Sugar Beach are all within a few minutes’ drive.

It is centrally located in Kihei with shops and restaurants nearby to explore, many within walking distance, and easy access to the airport (approximately a 15-20 minute drive).

Luana Kai has a gated oceanfront heated pool with hot tub, saunas, and a complete outdoor kitchen with gas BBQ grills, dining tables and plenty of chaise lounges for reading, sunbathing or relaxing with a tropical drink. Other amenities include tennis and pickleball courts, shuffleboard and a putting green. The entire complex is a non-smoking property and we ask that our guests are non-smokers.

Rainbows and Sunsets
After reading previous reviews we decided to request to stay. Well after arriving we could see why others were so happy to have stay at this property. Jen was great to work with everything is marked for you. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your "Happy Place". It was a great place to stay and highly recommend it if you want the beach right there, with the sunset every night and yes even the odd rainbow once in awhile. Mahalo to you both.

Excellent Condo
We enjoyed our 10 day stay at the condo. It was exactly as listed and had the best equipped kitchen of all of our VRBO stays over the years. We enjoyed both morning coffee and evening Mai Tais with great sunset views on the lanai. The pickleballl courts referred to in another review were not an issue for us - the players cannot start before 8 and while busy during the morning they thinned out over the day. We would definitely stay at this condo again if in Maui and would recommend it to others.

Nice apartment in Kihei!
MY husband and I really enjoyed our stay here! The apartment was beautiful, clean, and had everything we needed. We loved using the binoculars and saw whales one morning from the balcony! The host was wonderful and communication was great and easy. Very central location. Not great swimming right in front of the property so we drove to other swimming areas. Also we left the windows open at night to get the nice breeze but sound travels a lot in these apartments and the noise of other visitors woke us up in the mornings. Recommend keeping them closed at night! Overall, if you are looking for a place to stay in Kihei this spot is lovely!

They had us at Aloha!

We are Jen and Jason, proud parents to three daughters. Having all three girls now grown and out on their own (aka “off the payroll”) we finally had the opportunity to make a life-long dream come true! After many Hawaiian island vacations through the years (we got engaged on Oahu on our first visit many moons ago), we chose Maui as the island for us. When not on Maui, we live in Gilbert, Arizona - another beautiful place but alas without the ocean views. We are empty-nesters who, when not working, enjoy traveling to Maui, playing golf and spending time with family, friends and our cat, Roo.

We purchased Luana Kai D205 in March 2020 (great timing right? LOL). We are not investors and plan to spend as much time at our second home as we can. We are thrilled to also offer it to guests when we can’t be there because, well, it is just too nice to not share!

Why they chose this property

D205 had us at direct ocean view!

On our buying trip, we rented a unit through VRBO at Luana Kai. We instantly fell in love with its classic Hawaiian look and feel– it was not a large high-rise concrete jungle like some of the other condo resorts we had looked at. Its beautiful tropical grounds with tiki torches and Plumeria trees (my fav) and Monkeypod trees lining the road; its smaller, intimate pool area with a hot tub and outdoor kitchen; and, of course, its direct oceanfront location (without having to cross any busy roads), it felt like the Hawaiian home-away-from-home we had dreamed of.

What makes this property unique

Luana Kai’s location just north of the center of Kihei Town is quiet and away from the more crowded areas. It is an easy 10-15 min walk (2 min drive) to shopping, restaurants and groceries. Of course the beach right out front is great for activities such as paddle boarding, wind surfing, long walks and sun bathing …just ask the honu! (sea turtles).

Luana Kai is a short 15-20 minute drive from the Kahului Airport as well as Target, Walmart, Costco and much more.
