Wailea Ekahi: 294-Unit Oceanfront Resort on 34 Acres at Keawakapu Beach

Wailea Ekahi is an oceanfront condo resort at the south end of Keawakapu Beach: 294 units across 54 low-rise two-story buildings on roughly 34 acres of tropical landscaping, winding pathways, and mature gardens in the Wailea Resort area. Built between 1976 and 1978, the low-density layout has aged well: buildings are spread across the acreage with generous space between them, keeping the grounds quiet and uncrowded. Four pools anchor the resort, including a beachfront pavilion pool with ocean views, plus BBQ areas, paddle tennis courts, a pickleball court, and direct beach access to Keawakapu. MPP Vacations manages eight condos at Wailea Ekahi.

While Wailea Ekahi is situated right on the water, beach sizes in Maui are prone to seasonal shifts and tide changes.

MPP-managed units at Wailea Ekahi are 1-bedroom, 2-bathroom condos with fully equipped kitchens, dining and living areas, and private furnished lanais. Floor plans range from roughly 885 to 960 square feet. All MPP units have AC: configurations range from split zone to wall units depending on the condo; the MPP team flags the AC setup for each unit at booking. Most MPP units include in-unit washer and dryer; laundry arrangements are confirmed at booking so you know exactly what your unit has before you arrive. Interior finishes, bed configurations, and views vary between condos since each is individually owned.

Two practical details up front. Wailea Ekahi stays through MPP carry no resort fee, confirmed at booking. Parking is open on-site with a parking pass provided in the unit binder at check-in. On the property side, the four pools (including the beachfront pavilion), BBQ grills, paddle tennis courts, pickleball court, and 34 acres of tropical grounds are the headline shared amenities. The oceanfront setting and low-rise, low-density design distinguish Wailea Ekahi from the taller resort towers further south along the Wailea coast.

For broader planning, our Wailea vacation rentals page and the wider South Maui collection walk through the area’s beach corridor; our ocean-view rentals page highlights oceanview options across the island, and the MPP Vacations rentals page covers every region. Keawakapu Beach begins at Wailea Ekahi’s front door: one of South Maui’s longest sandy stretches, popular for morning swims, snorkeling, and sunsets. Ulua Beach sits a short drive south; Kamaole Beach Parks I through III are five to ten minutes north along South Kihei Road.

The Shops at Wailea (dining, boutiques, grocery) are about a two-minute drive south. Kihei’s restaurants and coffee shops are five to ten minutes north; Maʻalaea Harbor (the launch point for most Molokini snorkel trips) is about twenty minutes north.

During humpback whale season (November through April) the Keawakapu shoreline is a reliable spot for shore-based whale watching.

Every reservation booked direct with MPP Vacations at Wailea Ekahi includes free daily Xplorie activities and the MPP Starter Kit: toiletries, paper goods, beach chairs, towels, and a cooler ready for you on arrival.
