Wailea-Makena

Condos For Sale in Wailea and Makena

Wailea and Makena make up Maui's premier resort corridor, home to manicured golf courses, five-star hotels, upscale shopping at The Shops at Wailea, and some of the island's best beaches, including Wailea Beach, Polo Beach, and Makena's Big Beach. Makena, at the southern end, is even quieter and more exclusive than Wailea proper.

Condo complexes here tend to run larger and more amenity-rich than what you'll find in Kihei, and several sit directly on the beach. This is Maui's classic second-home and vacation-rental buyer market, drawing owners who want resort-level polish along with the ability to walk to the beach, the golf course, or dinner.

Short-term rental eligibility varies building to building. Minatoya-listed, apartment-zoned complexes face Bill 9's 2031 phase-out of short-term rentals in South Maui, while several Wailea and Makena buildings are hotel-zoned and sit outside that timeline entirely. If rental income is part of your plan, it's worth understanding a specific building's zoning and Minatoya status before you buy.
