Wailea Real Estate

	COMMUNITIES                             Wailea LIFESTYLE Wailea, the South Shore's resort community, is slightly quieter and drier than its West Side sister, Ka'anapali. Most visitors cannot pick a favorite and stay at both. The luxury of the resorts (edging on overindulgence) and the simple grandeur of the Shops at Wailea make the otherwise stark coast a worthy destination. A handful of perfect little beaches all have public access, and a paved beach walk allows you to stroll among all the properties, restaurants, and sandy coves. A great place to watch whales in the winter, the makai, or ocean, side of the beach walk is landscaped with exceptionally rare native plants.   Beaches: If you’re a beach person, this area is paradise. Spectacular snorkeling, warm and clear water, pristine and expansive stretches of soft sand interspersed with lava outcroppings, and color-saturated sunsets are coveted by thousands of  visitors each year. Head south on Kihei Road to Wailea, and you’ll find a string of posh beachfront resorts and fine dining restaurants, and luxury condominiums and hotels that cater to the private, high-end vacation experience.  Visitors are a diverse batch from throughout the world, and mingle with part-time residents and locals in shopping districts and neighborhoods that pocket the town’s main thoroughfare. Snorkeling, Kite surfing, Kayak: Neighborhood parks and beaches each have a unique feel.  A half-dozen local snorkeling spots provide accessible admission to reefs that will shame the the best salt water aquarium you’ve ever seen. This is the home to one of three designated kite surfing beaches on the island. You can learn to surf, windsurf, kayak, and kite-surf, or just watch. Or, just bake in the year-round summer breeze.  Wailea Shopping Mall: The 150,000-square foot Shops at Wailea features more than 60 shops and restaurants, all set in an award-winnning traditional/contemporary Hawaiian architectural styling unique to the Valley Isle. Designed with the casual island elegance in mind, visitors can stroll among soothing fountains and pools or gather in a spectacular courtyard framed by colorful, manicured tropical landscaping.   To learn more about  Homes in this area, please contact us at 808-385-4665 or email: george@mauihometeam.com
