Tranquility. Exclusivity. Privacy. All are embodied within this ultimate ocean-lovers retreat in Makena on Maui’s coveted south shore. With incomparable panoramic ocean views spanning all the way to the sandy Big Beach shoreline, every aspect of this one-of-a-kind property is oriented to delight in the ever-changing palette from sunrise to sunset into the starry night sky. Situated on just over an acre of land on a natural promontory, easy ocean access in a sandy cove lies just outside the front entry gate. Meticulously renovated top to bottom in 2020, Makena Kai is the quintessential Maui beach home from the vibrant blue Monier tile roof to the imported Shells Reef limestone tile underfoot. Filled with natural light and ocean breezes, retractable sliding glass walls create a seamless transition between the indoor and outdoor living, dining, and relaxation spaces. The custom Tervola chef’s kitchen is an art piece featuring alder wood cabinetry, Thermador appliances, and quartzite countertops. Chic accent lighting throughout highlights the expansive avocado wood slab breakfast bar with inlays of backlit sea glass. A separate avocado burl wood bar near the pool makes outdoor entertaining effortless. All four of the bedrooms feature ensuite baths with Porcelanosa tile flooring, and the downstairs baths enjoy individual lava rock outdoor showers. With each suite uniquely styled for comfort and elegance, the beach-inspired design details create a modern coastal ambiance. Dual primary suites on the ground and second floor showcase vaulted ceilings, walk-in closets, and spa bathrooms with freestanding soaking tubs.
