Everyone has their favorite beach: ask Kihei and Wailea’s locals, and there’s a good change theirs is Keawakapu Beach, which shoulders Kihei and Wailea and spans for about three-quarters of a mile, past the Wailea resorts. Along the way there are several fantastic snorkeling spots, protective, warm-water swimming, and a perfect vantage point to watch the breaching humpback whales (in season).
The Mana Kai Resort is one of two vacation rental properties beach front on Keawakapu, and unit 410 is a guest favorite, with over 60 reviews (90% of them 5-Star). This 2-bedroom, 2-bath condo features a spectacular south-facing view of the shoreline, and the building is literally on the sand – guests sleep to the sound of the ocean, if they prefer.
My go-to snorkeling spot is directly in front of the resort. It’s a popular sea-turtle gathering spot, and on calm days you’ll see hundreds of brightly-colored, tropical fish.
The condo is beautifully updated with supremely comfortable beds, designer furnishings and local, original art, air conditioning, and a fully equipped kitchen. The property is close to Kihei’s dozens of restaurants, and there is a convenience store on site. Special summer rates start at $379 per night, with up to four occupants.
