About
The Mana Kai Maui (Spirit by the Sea and Maui) is a sparkling jewel that places you right where you want to be — and steps from the soft sands of Keawakapu (Forbidden Cove) Beach. Both the Mana Kai Maui and Keawakapu Beach are located at the far southern end of South Kihei Road, bordering the entrance to Wailea. The mile-long-beach is a popular swimming, snorkeling and the perfect location to relax and enjoy the beauty of Maui. Here you are offered the convenience of having all of your needs met at our beachfront property, or venturing out to Wailea (less than 5 minutes away). Just north of the Mana Kai are the bustling activities of Kihei, popular restaurants, shops, and activities, (which we can happily arrange for you) from seeing waterfalls to whales (seasonal).

This resort was beautifully designed! We stayed in 614A in June 2021 for my 50th birthday trip to Mauiiiiiiii! And while that within itself was a great surprise... the Mani Kai Maui Resort was an excellent choice. The morning sunrises, the midday & afternoon views, the evening sunsets and views were just breath taking. Our condo overlooked the beach and ocean and the sounds of the ocean were wonderful. The resort itself had a restaurant called the 5 Palms onsite along with a sundry and a place that you could rent gear of needed. Parking was no hassle and accessing the beach, pool, and everything in between was the best! The one bedroom open space condo had a full walk in kitchen fully equipped with whatever you needed! The bathroom was spacious enough and the living room/bedroom area was perfect! And the balcony....oh my...was on point! We enjoyed a few breakfasts and some evening cocktails/appetizers on the patio while we enjoyed each other's company along with the nice weather and breath taking views! The Mana Kai Maui is a great destination choice when visiting Maui! Highly recommended …
Booking. Com showed me all the beautiful pictures of a condo room with full kitchen and balcony overlooking the ocean. It matched my search criteria. Booking sent me to vacasa web for booking. That is not what we got. We had a small tight suite with mini fridge and mini coffee maker. No view of anything and was no better than the average motel 6. I called to see if there was a mistake and was even willing to pay more if there was for what I thought I was getting. Nothing was available. Now the room was cramped, noisy and required entry through a share hall. On the noisy issue. All the neighbor talking or door closing was heard. The wind was pounding on our glass window and it was a continuous loud rattle. Our room was 614b with a parking lot view and a stair chase obstructing half of that. The positive things are location, beach, sunset and grounds. With that said you can enjoy all of that away from the cramped room. I took a video of late night neighbors moving in and it literally sounds like they were in our room.…
We stayed in a 2 bedroom/two bath condo. Great space for a family of four with 2 adult children. Clean and well-stocked. The view from our lanai was first-class and a wonderful space for coffee and drinks. We will stay here again!
We just finished a 7 day stay in room #808. This was a condo with a kitchen on the top floor that had amazing views of the ocean. I wasn’t sure what to expect when we arrived at Mana Kai late one night, but shortly after walking in, our whole family had huge smiles on our faces. I’m very ocd with cleanliness, and this place did not disappoint. The rooms were newly remodeled , and I couldn’t have asked for better. It was very clean and inviting. The view was amazing, and everyday we fell asleep to waves crashing on the shore. There is a wonderful convenience store located in the hotel, where we got pre-made sandwiches for our day excursions. They had loaves of bread, peanut butter, chips, drinks and quite a few snacks to buy. Also, the hotel had a bogie board rental shop, that was very reasonably priced. I believe they had kayaks and snorkeling gear to rent as well. We went snorkeling on the reef next to the hotel. We saw 2 turtles, eel and fish. It was so cool how everything was right there in one location. We found the beach to be the best one we tried in Maui. It was far less crowded and was beautiful. I would highly recommend this hotel!…
We booked last second at the Mana Kai through Donna Bender of Maui Calls when our original travel plans had to be changed due to COVID restrictions. Donna handled everything and made the process simple and stress free for us. We had a wonderful time and would go again. The beach and view were amazing. Donna also gave us her Local Girl’s Guide to Maui to take with us to Maui. We especially enjoyed the restaurant and beach reviews. Donna is an absolute gem and will continue to book through her in the future
