What we love about Hokulani 928
Owners and guests alike can’t get enough of the Nanna glass wall doors, which truly enhance the seamless transition from interior to exterior living whether the doors are open or not. The couch here is a pull-out sofa that will comfortably sleep two smaller humans, most one bedroom properties at Honua Kai are advertised as being equipped to accommodate 4 people.
Verdant mountain views from all main rooms with a strong element of privacy. Upon entering Hokulani #928, walls disappear while Mauna Kahalawai, frequent rainbows, and beautiful natural light welcome you home. Refined granite slabs, stainless steel appliances, and designer furnishings appoint this unit. World-class pools, amenities, and on-site Duke’s Beach House restaurant.
The master bedroom at Hokulani #928 has unobstructed views of the verdant West Maui mountains. The master suite has also has direct access out to the spacious outdoor covered lanai. The bedroom is spacious and has plenty of room for the king bed.
The interior finishes are refined – soothing green granite slabs which refresh the interior with the same verdant color of the mountain slopes, clean lines on the stainless Bosch appliances, and handsome solid wood cabinetry. Notice how much light and how the outside is brought into this residence with the large glass windows.

Kaanapali North Beach
Kaanapali North Beach looking north towards the island of Molokai.
The reef fronting Honua Kai is vibrant and has an amazing plethora of tropical fish, turtles, and in whale season I have seen a few only about 50 yards off shore. This stretch is very special to both me and my wife as I proposed to her on this beach and enjoyed steak and lobster at Duke’s back in 2011. It is easy to understand why this is a special place for so many who come from across the world to be here. It’s all about the memories made on Maui. I have been privileged to assist many buyer and seller clients at Honua Kai.
