Our land is vast and offers numerous outdoor spaces to enjoy. We are a sanctuary where you can experience holistic, healthy living. Trade winds bless the North Shore, so air-conditioners are unnecessary. Our well provides delicious alkaline water from the volcanic aquifer, enhancing your well-being. We offer fresh greens from our organic food garden, eggs, and fruits for purchase, along with freshly harvested coconuts to further improve your well-being.
We are staffed by our family and community. During check-in with our concierge, we warmly welcome our guests, introduce them to our beautiful property, and explain the principles of regenerative living. We are deeply honored to share this place with you – our responsible traveler. With your understanding of the fragility of this island due to tourism, you consciously choose to support the local community and the Aina (land) by staying with us.
WHERE YOU BE STAYING
Discover the enchantment of Thai Hale – a harmonious blend of masculine and feminine energies flowing gracefully in the dance of yin and yang. Step into this exquisite abode, where balanced energy revitalizes your well-being, creativity flows effortlessly, and your vacation transcends into a realm of tranquility and rejuvenation.
As you approach, the captivating roofline, inspired by Thai temples, sets the stage for your stay. Inside, a queen-sized bed on the ground floor and a meditative loft with a single bed beneath the exquisitely crafted bamboo ceiling offer moments of serenity. Adorned with treasures from around the world, the interior reflects a tapestry of elegance and charm.
Indulge in the pleasure of a fully equipped kitchen and embrace a work-from-home oasis with fast fiber-optic internet. The internet can be discreetly turned off for those seeking an electromagnetic field-free space. The mermaid-themed outdoor shower, nestled in complete privacy, beckons you to unwind in the embrace of nature. A spacious wrap-around lanai grants a breathtaking view of the lush garden, complemented by the gentle caress of trade winds.
Immerse yourself in the rich offerings of Maui Eco Retreat, with exclusive yoga classes and a delightful online guest booklet that unveils the wonders of the North Shore. Once you have booked with VRBo, we will send you a link.
For those contemplating an intimate ceremony, our land offers a sacred space for elopements and micro weddings, crafted to honor your spiritual beliefs.
ABOUT OUR PROPERTY
Our buildings are ecologically built and adorned with spiritual art and hand-crafted masterpieces from Pacific and Asian countries. We are surrounded by a lush jungle, ponds, flower gardens, fruit trees, and an easily accessible waterfall that flows into natural pools for swimming, from which you can gaze upon the breathtaking view of the valley.
Our land is a beautiful place to wander and explore: you can take a short walk past our organic garden, agroforestry garden, chickens, and countless species of flowers and plants and enter our temples, where you can rest, relax, and meditate. For the adventurer, our ocean trail is a moderately challenging cliff trail that takes about a half-hour to get to the ocean. You will enjoy the wild beauty and the untouched nature of this piece of rural Maui, which dolphins and turtles occasionally visit. However, prepare with a good pair of hiking shoes, snacks, and a water bottle, and feel your feet—the trail can be very slippery after heavy rain. In the wintertime, whales can be spotted breaching from the viewpoints on this trail — even from your bed.
As we live off the grid in a sustainable and organic jungle, some friendly and harmless critters are a part of our lives. Occasionally, small geckos are seen in the house, and we remind guests of the importance of sealing up and putting away any uneaten food. If food is left out, ants will take it as an opportunity to make your leftovers a great feast. Also, Maui's tropical climate is conducive to moist air and mold. We are diligent in our cleanliness and strive to keep our spaces clean and insect-free, but as previously mentioned, we take good care of our land and live harmoniously in nature. We cater with 100% success to all our guests who want to experience nature and take time out from their busy lives to relax.
Exclusive Yoga classes, only for Maui Eco Retreat guests and community of family, are offered Monday through Friday mornings.
If you are considering eloping while staying with us or would like a micro wedding, we offer this exclusive, intimate ceremony specifically for those staying on our land. Kutira has been a licensed officiant for over 30 years, and her ceremonies are infused with the Hawaiian spirit. She and her husband create a union celebration according to your personal spiritual beliefs in this special ceremony.
