Alana by the waves... 

A private oceanfront sanctuary in Napili, Maui

Where the Pacific stretches to the horizon and the rest of the world gently fades away.

Perched above a secluded bay in the legendary Alaeloa community on Maui's West Side, this private oceanfront home offers something that has become genuinely rare: unobstructed ocean views, true seclusion, and the unhurried grace of old Hawaiʻi.

From the moment you arrive, the outside world begins to recede. The lush tropical greenery wrapped around the property, the sound of waves below, the warm trade winds drifting through the lanai — it all signals that you've found something exceptional. This isn't just a place to stay in Maui. It's a place to truly be in Maui.

the home...

Every detail designed for the view

Alana Pūnana was designed around a single organizing principle: the ocean should always be with you. The home's orientation ensures privacy from neighbors while maximizing the panorama that makes this property extraordinary — a sweeping, unobstructed expanse of Pacific blue, with the quiet silhouette of Molokaʻi shimmering on the horizon.

Both bedrooms face the water. There are no compromises here, no "garden view" secondary room. Every morning begins the same way: sunrise light on the ocean, the sound of waves below, and the kind of stillness that reminds you why you came.

Spend your days on the lanai, unhurried and immersed. Watch humpback whales breach offshore — a sight that never stops being extraordinary. Follow the movement of green sea turtles in the clear water below. Let the rhythm of the Pacific set the pace of your day. In the evenings, the sky over the ocean turns colors that photographs never quite capture.

Every detail of the interior has been thoughtfully considered for comfort and relaxation. The home is equipped for a stay of any length — a restorative week, a milestone celebration, an extended escape — with everything you need and nothing you don't.

Life at Alana by the waves...

Mornings

Wake to the sunrise over the Pacific. Both bedrooms open to ocean views, so the day begins gently — light on the water, the sound of waves, coffee on the lanai before the world has a chance to intrude.

The Water

A short walk down the path brings you to one of Alaeloa's greatest treasures: direct ocean access at a sheltered cove ideal for snorkeling. The underwater world here is vibrant and unhurried — sea turtles move through the coral at their own pace, colorful reef fish dart through the shallows, and the clarity of the water on a calm Maui morning is something you'll remember long after you've returned home. For those who want more, surf breaks at Little Makaha lie just beyond the cove.

Whale Season

From December through April, humpback whales gather in the waters off West Maui in extraordinary numbers. From the lanai at Alana Pūnana, breaching and tail-slapping whales are a daily — sometimes hourly — spectacle. There is no better seat in Maui.

Evenings

Sunsets on the West Side of Maui are legendary, and the lanai at Alana Pūnana faces them directly. The sky turns amber, then rose, then deep violet over the water. The island of Molokaʻi catches the last light. It is, simply, one of the most beautiful things you'll ever see.

ALAELOA

The Pebble Beach of the Pacific

Alana Pūnana is set within Alaeloa — a gated oceanfront community that embodies the spirit and architecture of old Hawaiʻi in a way that is increasingly rare to find anywhere on the island.

Completed in 1965, Alaeloa was designed around open space, the natural landscape, and the charm of traditional Hawaiian residential architecture. When it opened, Sunset Magazine called it "The Pebble Beach of the Pacific." More than sixty years later, it continues to evoke that same quiet distinction.

Many who have spent time here believe Alaeloa transcends its physical location — that it becomes, over time, a state of mind. The grounds are spacious, meticulously maintained, and filled with tropical color: manicured lawns, a beloved mango grove, a crescent beach, and sweeping ocean, sunset, and outer island views at nearly every turn.

Community amenities include a large heated saline pool, a pavilion with a full kitchen, bathrooms, and showers — ideal for long afternoons in the shade after mornings in the water.
