Papali Wailea
3100 Wailea Alanui Dr, Wailea, HI 96753
Papali Wailea sits at the quiet north end of Wailea Alanui, just up the coast from Wailea Ekahi, and stands out for its low density: only 24 homes spread across 26 one-story buildings on over 10 acres, more like a village of detached villas than a typical stacked condo building. It is also one of the newer communities in the resort, completed in 2008 and 2009.
Papali Wailea does not appear on the county's officially published short-term rental lists, and its zoning designation reads as residential rather than apartment or hotel. If a low-density, villa-style setting appeals to you, this is worth a closer look, though confirm current rental rules with Diane if income potential matters to your decision.

Short-term rental status
Papali Wailea does not appear on either of Maui County's officially published short-term rental lists, and its zoning is recorded as residential rather than apartment-district or hotel.
