Our vast, remote land offers many outdoor spaces to enjoy! Experience holistic, healthy living in our haven. Enjoy the trade winds on the North Shore without the need for air-conditioning. Our well provides delicious alkaline water from the volcanic aquifer. We offer organic garden greens, eggs, fruits, and coconut water for purchase to enhance your well-being.
Staffed by our family and community, we welcome guests, show them around our beautiful property, and explain the foundations of regenerative living. We are honored to share this place with responsible travelers who support the local community and the Aina (land).
**A Loving Reminder:** You may encounter friendly nature friends like geckos, ants, spiders, or frogs. We use nontoxic remedies only.
**Where You'll Be Staying:**
This popular ground-floor master bedroom offers a spacious, private retreat with breathtaking ocean views. Floor-to-ceiling windows overlook a serene pond adorned with water hyacinths and purple lilies. During your visit, the Lotus Room may not have its usual pond view as we rejuvenate our beautiful pond.
Open the sliding glass doors to a generous deck for sunning and meditating. Enjoy privacy indoors and outdoors with your own lounge and dining area. The room features a queen-sized bamboo bed, two cozy chairs, and a private bathroom with a separate shower. A large in-room closet keeps your belongings organized.
For those working from paradise, a dedicated workspace with high-speed fiber-optic internet and a coffee machine in the kitchen is provided. The room is elegantly decorated in soft moss green with energy-efficient curtains for privacy and restful sleep. Sacred decorations and sandstone art add spirituality to the ambiance.
The deck offers lounge chairs and space for yoga sessions, staying calm throughout the day in its shaded location. The Lotus Room is ideal for a relaxing, rejuvenating stay.
As a guest at Opua House, enjoy access to exotic facilities, including a large kitchen, cozy living room, extensive outdoor tables and spaces, and a captivating sunroom. Experience the magic of our Lotus Room at Opua House.
**About Our Property:**
Our buildings are ecologically built, adorned with spiritual art, and surrounded by lush jungle, flower gardens, fruit trees, and a waterfall flowing into natural swimming pools with valley views.
Explore our beautiful land with organic and agroforestry gardens, chickens, countless species of flowers and plants, and temples for rest and meditation. For adventurers, our moderately challenging ocean trail offers wild beauty and occasional visits from dolphins and turtles. Prepare with hiking shoes, snacks, and water bottles. In winter, spot whales breaching from trail viewpoints or even your bed.
Living off the grid in a sustainable jungle, friendly critters are part of life. Small geckos may be seen, and we emphasize sealing uneaten food to avoid ants. Maui's tropical climate can be moist, and we strive to keep spaces clean and insect-free while living harmoniously with nature. We cater to guests seeking nature and relaxation.
Exclusive yoga classes for guests are offered Monday through Friday mornings. Our guest booklet invites you to explore more about the North Shore.
