Wailea Palms vs. Palms at Wailea: Choosing The Right Wailea Condo

Palms at Wailea vs. Wailea Palms: How to Tell These Two Condo Communities Apart

If you've spent any time searching for condos in Wailea, you've probably run into this exact mix-up.

Palms at Wailea and Wailea Palms sit right next to each other on Wailea Alanui Drive, share the same Mediterranean-style architecture, stucco exteriors, and red barrel tile roofs, and were originally developed as a single project: Palms at Wailea I and Palms at Wailea II. 

Even longtime locals occasionally have to pause and double-check which one they're talking about.

Why These Two Communities Are So Similar

Both complexes sit on Wailea Alanui Drive within a short walk of each other; both were built in 1992 and share the same architectural style: stucco…

Wailea Ekahi vs. Wailea Ekolu: Beachfront or Golf Course Living in Wailea

Wailea Ekahi vs. Wailea Ekolu

Ekahi, Elua, and Ekolu are the Hawaiian words for one, two, and three. So, it's no coincidence that Wailea Ekahi and Wailea Ekolu are sister communities, part of the same three-village master plan from Wailea's earliest days that also gave us Wailea Elua.

Ekahi came first in 1978, right on the sand at Keawakapu Beach. Ekolu followed a year later, up on the hillside overlooking the Wailea Blue Golf Course. Decades later, they're still two of the most beloved condo communities in the resort, and for good reason. Low-rise buildings, mature tropical landscaping, a genuine sense of privacy you don't always find in a resort setting, and owners who tend to stick around for years, sometimes decades.

Both communities let…

Just Listed By Evan: Wailea Ekahi 6F | 1bd/2bth Ocean View Unit

Wailea Ekahi Unit 6F: Just Listed by Evan

Wailea Ekahi is one of Wailea's best oceanfront condo communities and offers some of the absolute best on-site amenities with its recently completed oceanfront pool pavilion. I'm proud to represent the sellers of Unit 6F as they have had this condo in their family for almost 30 years.

Ekahi is a special place where its not uncommon for a family to keep their unit that long and have different generations getting to enjoy the beach lifestyle in Wailea.

When we look at Wailea Ekahi, the units that have quality ocean views are higher demand and so are units that are close to the pool and beach. Unit 6F has a great ocean view and is just steps away from pool and…

The 21 Very Best Things to Do in Wailea, Maui

The 21 Very Best Things To Do in Wailea Maui For 2024

When I moved to Maui in 2010, I made it my mission to explore all of the many great activities and things to do around the island. In fact, one of my first jobs on Maui before I became a Realtor, was working in the activity business selling all of the fun helicopter trips, luaus, snorkeling tours, etc. The main benefit of working in the activity business on Maui is, of course, the free adventures and getting to play tourist occasionally! 

Over several years in the activities industry, I had probably gone to about 20 luaus, been to Molokini about 10 times, been awe-inspired by every helicopter tour to Molokai and Haleakala several times, and personally experienced almost every single excursion…

The 8 Best Golf Courses on Maui | A Local's Guide to Teeing It Up on Maui

Enjoy the Best Golf Courses on Maui

One of the reasons I love living on Maui is certainly the access to an abundance of year-round world-class golf.  Not only does the weather allow for playing 12 months a year, but the island is such an amazing backdrop for a great variety of beautiful and challenging golf courses. Before I get ahead of myself, I should preface all of this with the fact that I’m not a scratch golfer or even close, but I can put an ok round together. Most of all,  I appreciate getting some time outside and just going out for a fun round with friends while enjoying a few refreshments along the way. 

That being said, some of the courses on Maui are tough! The wind is only one of the things you’ll notice affecting your score, but…
