A fully equipped granite kitchen makes preparing island-inspired meals effortless, while the adjacent dining area opens to panoramic ocean views that elevate every bite.
Retreat to the serene bedroom featuring a luxurious queen bed dressed in premium linens, ceiling fans for added comfort, and direct access to the lanai where the sounds of the ocean set a calming soundtrack to your stay. The clean, well-appointed bathroom includes a tub/shower combination and ample space to freshen up before heading out for a morning swim or an evening stroll along the sandy shoreline steps from your door. Thoughtfully provided extras such as beach chairs, towels, a cooler and games enhance your island experience.
The Maalaea Kai community is a hidden gem on Maui’s central coast, known for its lush tropical landscaping, heated oceanfront pool, and BBQ picnic area perfect for gathering at sunset. Guests enjoy convenient elevator access, same-floor laundry facilities and free assigned parking - making your stay as effortless as possible. Its central location places you a short walk from the Maalaea Harbor, Maui Ocean Center, waterfront dining and casual shops, yet far enough from crowds to relish quiet island living.
Whether you’re watching the sun rise over Haleakala from your lanai, spotting sea life from the shoreline, or exploring the nearby beaches and attractions, Maalaea Kai 311 offers an unforgettable Maui vacation filled with serenity, stunning views, and authentic island charm.

We had a lovely stay and particular enjoyed the view from the balcony! The place had all the beach equipment we needed and the dishes etc to cook our own meals. Cable tv and apps were a great bonus. Location is central to the different beaches and close to the airport! Would stay again!
