Our first stay in Ekahi Village, we recognized it was a special place. During our second stay, we found our piece to call “home”; Ekahi inspires a peaceful, contented sense of being that we haven’t found many other places in the world. The large greenspace and beautiful gardens combine to create a car-free sense of connectedness between the community and the ocean that is perfect for families with young kids and anyone ready to unplug from the pace of modern life for a bit. All walks and ages come to Ekahi, from families hauling babies and toddlers to snowbirds sheltering for a month (or more).
Kihei-side is the peaceful, family-friendly slice of Maui…and Wailea even more so. The islands of Kahoolawe and Lanai provide amazing backdrops for relaxation and beach walks while also creating sheltered, gently-sloping beaches for little ones to safely play near and in the water. The snorkeling around any of the lava outcroppings is excellent and full of turtles and fish.
Even though Ekahi is so peaceful, it is in the middle of everything! A market, fine dining, and premium shops are within walking distance, while just a few minutes away you have a full-size grocery store and all the restaurants and boutiques of Kihei (along with great gelato :)!
