Comprising approximately 24 homesites across 14 acres, this community offers stunning views of the Pacific Ocean, including Molokini and Lanai, and is ideal for whale watching in winter.

Kihei town nearby provides additional recreational activities and entertainment, making it an ideal choice for those seeking luxury living in Maui.
Neighborhood Configuration
The 14.5-acre development consists of 24 lots, making it the smallest gated neighborhood in Wailea. However, it distinguishes itself by offering the most extensive land cuts in the area. Each lot in this subdivision features custom-built homes. The lots vary in size, ranging between 20,000 to 30,000 square feet. These homes are equipped with amenities such as private pools, expansive square footage, and distinctive architectural designs.
What We Love
Wailea Highlands is exclusive. Homes do not turn over frequently, so when they do, it’s usually an attractive market offering.
What We Could Do Without
Nothing. I really love what the Highlands have to offer. The only complaint I hear from clients in Wailea subdivisions is that they wish there were more full-time residents to establish a social connection with.

Primary Uses
Long-Term Rental
Long-term rentals are considered six months or longer here in Maui. This option does make it difficult to use the unit for owner stays, but it can help offset the cost of ownership.
Second Home
If your goal is not to maximize your ROI but to simply use the unit as you please, you can do so. You would pay the highest and best use for real property tax.
Owner Occupant
If Maui is where you want to call home, the owner-occupant is the one for you. If you spend 270 days out of the year on Maui and your unit is your primary residence, then you can apply for the Owner Occupant exemption (frequently asked questions).
