The island of Lanai slopes in the distance and snorkel-friendly reefs wait just offshore at this ocean-view villa on one of Maui’s top-rated beaches. The 3-bedroom home represents the best of casually welcoming island style: warm wood accents, an outdoor shower, a private lanai, and sunset views. Follow the path across the resort grounds to a shared pool and Wailea Beach.

A lava-stone arch frames (and shades) a lanai with lounging and dining areas and a built-in barbecue—the ideal setup for spotting whales during the day and grilling by night. The villa has its own private plunge pool just off the lanai, and guests are also welcome at the resort community’s shared infinity pool.

A wall of sliding glass separates the lanai from the great room, so you can open it up to let the trade-wind breezes flow through the space. Watch the ocean or the TV from the living and dining areas, and sip Hawaii-grown coffee at the breakfast bar in the fully equipped kitchen.

Swim and snorkel off resort-lined Wailea Beach, a few minutes’ walk from the villa, or drive a few minutes to other swimmable beaches and picturesque bays with hiking trails winding past lava fields. Pop into the shopping center next door to pick up a coffee or ice cream, and visit local eateries for uniquely Hawaiian treats like a plate lunch or shave ice.
