Our Special Location:
From the front stoop, the gorgeous West Maui Mountains reign supreme and beyond the back gate is Pakala, the beach chosen by the ancient Hawaiian ali’i (chiefs) as their playground! This is a sacred area once known as Moku’ula, the spiritual and political power center of the Hawaiian Kingdom. Lahaina not only served as a favorite vacation spot for Hawaiian royalty and as a part-time residence for the royal family, it was officially declared the capital of Hawaii in 1802.
Across the street basketball and tennis courts, a field and parking lot cover the filled-in historic pond and island that was Moku’ula. The site of an ancient heiau is preserved here. The beautiful beach with shallow reef-protected waters is a nesting ground for turtles and was once a heavenly snorkeling site. There is excellent surf at both ends of the beach with the northern spot popular with beginners and surf schools. Lahaina Harbor is very close. Dining, bars, coffee shops and shopping are all right here!
