If you could pretend to live on Maui, you’d do it here. A little community perched at ocean’s edge with neatly manicured lawns, plumeria blossoms to place behind your ear, and fluffy macadamia nut pancakes served up at the bayside Gazebo.

A resort condo with anonymity has its advantages. Few footprints in the sand. Front row seats on the beach to cheer grandstanding whales. Pan your gaze from Lanai on the left to Molokai further west.

Mauna Lani Resort maintains high standards. Mauna Lani Spa and the Spa Without Walls at Fairmont Orchid are sumptuous. The North and South courses have received Golf Magazine’s Gold Medal Award every year since opening.

Beachcombing comes to mind. A little windswept, somewhat solitary. Just how you like it. Nothing to bother, nothing to bind. No alarms to set, no deadlines to meet. Slow down, savor the moment.

Kaanapali is mainstream Maui resort. The contoured fairways, the roomy condos, the see-and-be-seen beach walk. Wrap a pareu, grab your board shorts, slip on some flip-flops, your holiday has begun.

There’s more to the renowned golf courses at Waikoloa then you might imagine. They’re surrounded by gourmet dining, luxury shopping and a beautiful beach at Anaehoomalu Bay.

Go ahead, live on the beach. And have that with a full kitchen and sweeping Diamond Head view. Maid service? Daily. Surfing lessons? Out front. Starbucks? Next door. Blackened Ahi at Roy’s Waikiki?

Mauna Lani is an attitude: privilege, understated style, complete confidence. The Palm Villas at Mauna Lani caters to it. Gated privacy surrounds residential town homes designed with vaulted ceilings for spacious living.

The view cascades down a lava rock bluff and it seems you’re on a great ship setting out to sea. The sun reflects off the smooth white terraces - making the day appear brighter...

Tucked away on Beachwalk street is a gem of a condo. You that are urbane and chic, listen up. Stepping out to Prada, Louis Vuitton and Waikiki Beach Walk®? Wear your heels, it’s that close.
