The Pinnacle of Oceanfront Living on Maui
Discovery Land Company's redevelopment of Makena over the past two decades transformed this stretch of South Maui from scattered agricultural land into the top tier of luxury real estate of Maui.
Buying in Maluaka Estates means acquiring a legacy estate with real exclusivity, including all of the amenities and luxuries of Makena Golf and Beach Club. Finished homes sell in the $20-$30 million range, while lots have gone for $6-$7 million.
The community represents one of the very finest areas with oceanfront homes on Maui.
Makena Has A Special Appeal
Makena's appeal ultimately comes down to a version of Maui that development largely passed by. Where Wailea and Kaanapali grew into dense resort corridors, Makena stayed slow and deliberate, which is exactly why it still feels wild in a way the rest of South Maui doesn't.
Big Beach (Oneloa) and Little Beach sit just down the road, some of the last undeveloped stretches of sand on this side of the island, and the nearby Ahihi-Kinau Natural Area Reserve protects a coastline still rich with turtles, reef fish, and lava-rock tide pools rather than beach chairs and cabana service.
That undeveloped character extends to the views themselves. Makena's open landscape and lower building density mean unobstructed sightlines toward Molokini, Kahoolawe, and some of the clearest sunset and stargazing conditions anywhere on Maui, without a neighboring resort tower breaking up the horizon.
It's a version of the island that feels closer to how Maui looked decades ago, just a short drive from everything Wailea offers, without actually being part of it.
Frequently Asked Questions About Maluaka Estates
How many homesites are in Maluaka Estates?
Maluaka Estates is an intimate, gated enclave of just 13 custom homesites in the heart of Makena. That scarcity is central to the community's appeal, opportunities to buy here come up rarely, and inventory can go extended periods without a new listing.
How big are the lots in Maluaka Estates?
Homesites typically range from a half acre to three-quarters of an acre, giving each estate significant space and privacy. Several lots border protected open space, which preserves views and adds an extra layer of seclusion along the community's edges.
Does buying in Maluaka Estates include access to the Makena Golf & Beach Club?
Ownership in Maluaka Estates typically includes membership application rights to the private Makena Golf & Beach Club, developed by Discovery Land Company. Club access itself is separate from the real estate purchase and requires completing the membership application process, so it's worth confirming the specific terms tied to any individual homesite before assuming access is automatic.
What amenities does the Makena Golf & Beach Club offer?
The club features two 18-hole championship golf courses originally designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr. and renovated by Discovery Land Company, along with a beachfront restaurant and bar, pools, a fitness center, ocean sports activities, and direct access to Maluaka Beach, one of South Maui's best swimming and snorkeling spots.
How close is Maluaka Estates to the beach?
Maluaka Estates sits just moments from the golden sands of Maluaka Beach, one of Makena's most sought-after stretches of coastline for swimming and snorkeling. The enclave's proximity to the beach is one of its defining features alongside its adjacency to the Makena Golf & Beach Club.
Who lives in the Makena area near Maluaka Estates?
Makena has long attracted high-profile buyers drawn to its privacy and natural beauty, and the area's exclusivity, combined with limited new inventory, has kept it one of the most sought-after luxury markets on Maui for decades.
