The views from this apartment's lanai are unforgettable – the panorama takes in palm trees, the distant island of Kaho’olawe, and the neighbouring resort's festive evening lauas. Sunset barbecues here are a given – as are quieter afternoons lounging with a drink in hand. There's an elegance to the open-plan living spaces, adorned with paintings from a local Maui artist, and even large family groups will find plenty of space to spread out. You can take advantage of on-site amenities, including two swimming pools and a family games room – or wander through the resort's gardens to stunning Wailea Beach.

Home truths:
*This home's lanai overlooks the lawn of a neighbouring resort, where luaus are regularly held – you may hear some noise.
*The main bedroom here also has access to the lanai.
*You'll have access to the on-site swimming pool, gym, business centre, and the family games room (reservation required). They're shared with the resort's other residents.
*A starter supply of toilet paper, shampoo, conditioner and soap are provided, but you might want to bring your own to top this up. The nearest supermarket for stocking up is a ten-minute walk away.
