Located on the second floor in the heart of the resort’s 8.6 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds, this one-bedroom/two-bathroom garden view suite sleeps 4 in 1 king bed and 1 queen sofa bed. Parents love retreating to the privacy of a separate bedroom with lanai, while the kids watch a movie on the flat screen before falling asleep on the sofa bed.

Floor-to-ceiling sliders allow South Maui’s scenery and sunshine to seamlessly flow into the living area and open-design kitchen equipped with breakfast bar seating two. Meal prep is a pleasure with the kitchen’s airy feel and appliances that include a refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher, stovetop, oven and coffeemaker.

Share island fare at the etched teak-wood dining room table for four or on the private lanai that’s also the perfect al fresco spot for beginning the day with fruit smoothies or winding down after a day of exploring Maui’s bountiful Upcountry. The etched wood motif also flows into the bedroom with the headboard, end tables and dresser.

Other suite perks include an in-unit washer/dryer, air conditioning, WiFi, flat screen TV, ceiling fans, clock radio, blow dryer, cool wood-like flooring, bathroom with walk-in shower, and second bathroom with soaking tub and upgraded lighting.

Kihei is a favorite for its ocean recreation and access to the resort areas of Makena and Wailea. Whether you’re into golf on championship courses, decadent spa treatments, trendy dining or boutique shopping, Maui Banyan puts you near all the action.

After spending a day traveling the serpentine road to Hana, you may want nothing more than a day to rejuvenate “at home.” After a friendly tennis match at the resort, refresh in one of two swimming pools. Relieve tired muscles in the jet spa before an afternoon of snorkeling across S. Kihei Road at Kamaole II Beach Park. Stay for sunset or head to Maui Banyan’s barbecue area to grill fresh ahi with Upcountry veggies.

The resort also offers an activities desk, elevators and reserved parking for each unit.
