Luana Garden Villas at Honua Kai
130 Kai Malina Pkwy, Lahaina, HI 96761
Luana Garden Villas is the newest residential enclave at Honua Kai Resort & Spa, a collection of 72 three-bedroom villas built out in phases between 2018 and 2020 across 18 low-rise, two-story buildings set back from Honua Kai's beachfront towers. Each villa runs close to 2,000 square feet of interior space plus a 500 to 600 square foot covered lanai with an outdoor kitchen, and comes with something few West Maui vacation properties offer: a private, deeded enclosed garage. The villas are grouped into three private garden enclaves, each centered on its own pool, waterfall feature, hot tub, and fire pit, giving Luana Gardens a quieter, more residential feel than the resort's beachfront towers.
Luana Gardens sits on the same resort grounds as Honua Kai's Konea and Hokulani towers, which are confirmed hotel-zoned and not on the Minatoya list, and short-term rental is actively marketed here through the resort's on-site and third-party rental managers. That said, this newer villa product hasn't been independently confirmed as sharing the exact same zoning basis as the original towers, so buyers who want certainty on rental rights should confirm current zoning and HOA rental rules with Diane before assuming it works the same way.

Short-term rental status
Luana Garden Villas sits within Honua Kai Resort & Spa, whose original towers are confirmed hotel-zoned and not on the Minatoya list, so not targeted by Bill 9's apartment-district phase-out. Listings and rental-management sites describe Luana Gardens itself as short-term-rental eligible and actively booked, but this newer villa product's zoning hasn't been independently verified apart from the resort's original towers. Confirm current zoning and any HOA rental restrictions with Diane before counting on rental income.
Rules are actively changing as of 2026. Contact Diane for the current status of a specific unit.
