Short-term rental status

Apartment-zoned (A2)On the Minatoya listCurrent phase-out: January 1, 2031

Luana Kai is apartment-zoned and appears on Maui County's official Minatoya list, the apartment-district properties allowed short-term occupancy under a decades-old grandfathered exception. Under Bill 9, apartment-zoned Minatoya rentals in South Maui phase out at the start of 2031. Ask Diane to confirm the current status before you count on rental income.

Maui’s short-term rental rules are changing month to month, and several rezoning resolutions are live right now. See the current status of Bill 9, Bill 88 and the Minatoya list for the latest, including whether this building is named in any rezoning resolution.

If you need vacation-rental flexibility without a phase-out date, hotel-zoned condos sit outside the apartment-district phase-out entirely.
