About this property
87-1 Escape to Paradise at Puamana's Hale Nalu
Welcome to Hale Nalu, a beautifully updated townhome in the tranquil Puamana community just south of Lahaina. This 30-acre private paradise offers a peaceful retreat away from high-rise hotels and crowded tourist areas, yet remains close to world-class beaches and golf, unique shopping, and fabulous dining in Kaanapali and Kapalua. While the devastating 2023 fires destroyed historic Lahaina Town and impacted 40% of Puamana’s oceanfront community, including our historic Clubhouse and some homes directly next to and behind this property, Hale Nalu and the southern side of Puamana were spared, offering a safe and serene haven amidst a community in recovery.
Despite these challenges, Puamana retains its charm and unique amenities. A complete renovation of the spectacular Ocean Pool was completed in October 2025, offering guests a one-of-a-kind setting right at the water’s edge with breathtaking views of the Pacific. The Dolphin Pool is also open and available for use.
Guests can swim at the Dolphin Pool, play tennis or pickleball, or take a three minute stroll to the shoreline, where the presence of sand varies with the tides and ocean conditions. Surf breaks fronting the Puamana community often provide great waves for surfers and body boarders alike. Hale Nalu is ideally located less than ten minutes from Lahaina’s Safeway and Foodland Farms grocery stores, the renowned Old Lahaina Luau, and a range of dining options. Enjoy exceptional restaurants such as Mala Ocean Tavern, Honu Oceanside, and Star Noodle for a more refined experience, or choose casual favorites like Aloha Mixed Plate and Coco Deck for a relaxed meal with island flair.
Hale Nalu itself has been thoughtfully updated to provide both comfort and style. The fully remodeled kitchen boasts new appliances and cabinets, while split-system air conditioning ensures the family room and bedrooms stay cool and comfortable. The home’s interior has been completely reimagined with contemporary furnishings, including a custom monkey pod dining table, and features fine art photography celebrating Maui’s waves, a perfect homage to the home’s name, which means "House of Waves."
The master bedroom on the ground floor features a king bed, TV, and ensuite bathroom, along with a walk-in closet with a washer/dryer. Upstairs, the sunlit dormer loft comfortably sleeps five with a queen bed, two twin XL beds, and a daybed. Blackout blinds allow for restful sleep or a relaxing nap. Please note that loft ceilings are low, so please be mindful. The loft is also open to the lower level, a consideration for a family with very small children. Both ground-level bathrooms have been recently remodeled.
Outdoor living spaces invite you to embrace Maui’s beauty. Begin your day with coffee on the front lanai’s cozy hanging porch swing, or unwind in the evening on the spacious rear lanai, perfect for BBQs and private gatherings. A grassy area beyond offers a safe play space for kids. The home is well-equipped for beach adventures, with chairs, a cooler, and boogie boards available. Should you choose to rent surf or paddle boards while visiting the island, you will find a board storage rack on the rear lanai.
Staying at Hale Nalu offers a unique opportunity to support a recovering community, while enjoying Maui’s natural beauty and tranquil atmosphere. Whether you’re planning a relaxing vacation, celebrating a special occasion, or seeking a working retreat, this home is the perfect place to experience all that Maui has to offer. Book your stay today and create unforgettable memories in this island paradise.
