About this property

On top of the Ocean Hideaway - Mermaid's Palace on Maui

Welcome to Kaimana at Pohailani Maui! Enjoy amazing ocean views, sunsets, wildlife watching, and neighbor island views of Molokai and Lanai from this well provisioned condo located on West Maui.

We are located so close to the ocean you could throw a stone into the waves. So close, it is as if you are on a boat! Take advantage of Maui living on your private lanai (balcony), as well as spectacular ocean views extending down the coast.

The main living area has full ocean views and is very comfortable. Accented with tropical hardwoods, this studio has a comfortable Queen sized bed and Queen sized sofa sleeper.

A nice lanai allows you to expand the living area outdoors for full indoor/outdoor living in your private oasis. Dine in with the best ocean view.

Whale watch, gaze out over the sea, or just listen to the waves. Relax and enjoy paradise. Peace and tranquility define this cozy condo by the sea.

Kaimana is fully furnished with a full kitchen and bath, and has everything you need to enjoy gracious island living, just bring your swimsuit and toothbrush! We have all the linens, towels, beach equipment (boogie board, beach chairs, beach umbrella) and kitchen gadgets you may want.

The condo is stocked with quality appointments. The sheets are 100% Egyptian cotton, the towels 100% cotton, and the bed is a plush Simmons BeautyRest. This condo is set up as your own home.

Complete with a new full kitchen and new bathroom with a walk-in shower, Kaimana has all the touches of home for you to enjoy your stay after sightseeing around Maui.

Kahana is located North of historic Lahaina town, between Kaanapali and Kapalua resorts, and is a half mile from a grocery store, shops, and a farmers market. World class resorts, famous beaches, championship golf courses, and even ferry rides to Lanai and Molokai are within 15 minutes driving time or less. Pohailani sits on 8 acres of tropical landscaping. We invite you to enjoy our piece of paradise.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Everything about the Mermaids Palace was wonderful. The bed is super comfy with gorgeous view to wake up. The unit is perfectly appointed with everything you need to cook in or go to the beach. We really appreciated that. We loved sitting on the Lanai watching whales breach and flap their fins every morning and at sunset. It's super close to South and North Kaanapali beaches as well as Napili and Honolua Bay. We loved the snorkeling at north Kaanapali beach so many turtles, moray eels and Rays. Wonderful stay in a wonderful unit.

It was spectacular. I highly recommend this little piece of paradise. We saw whales blowing while you could also see surfers sitting in the setting sun as the waves were calming for the evening all right from our lanai. Very close driving distance to lots of beaches and malls. She said YES!
