Wailea Palms
3150 Wailea Alanui Dr, Wailea, HI 96753
Wailea Palms is built deliberately for quiet enjoyment. One hundred twenty homes spread across sixteen two-story buildings on 14.5 gated acres, with wide greenbelts and generous spacing that set it apart from Wailea's denser resort-style complexes. Built in 1992, it offers one and two-bedroom floor plans with lanais that catch trade winds and, from many units, sweeping views toward Molokini, Kahoolawe, and the West Maui Mountains.
Wailea Palms does not permit short-term vacation rentals, a deliberate choice that keeps the community residential rather than a rotating door of vacation guests. That makes it a real alternative for buyers who want to own in Wailea without living next to a short-term rental unit.

Short-term rental status
Wailea Palms does not permit short-term vacation rental, and does not appear on either of Maui County's officially published short-term rental lists, consistent with its identity as a deliberately residential community. Unlike many older Wailea complexes chasing Minatoya-list rental income, Wailea Palms was designed for quiet, full-time or long-term ownership. If that appeals to you, this is one of the more reliable options in the resort, though confirm current rules with Diane.
Rules are actively changing as of 2026. Contact Diane for the current status of a specific unit.
