Puamana is a gated community with 30 acres of prime oceanfront real estate. It boasts a mile of shoreline and a lush tropical landscape of soaring banyan trees and colorful exotic flowers. There’s a collection of fruit trees in the common area, with two of the oldest Hayden mango trees in Lahaina. There are three swimming pools, including a spectacular oceanfront pool where you can feel the waves splash over you. This famed pool is the last one like it in the state of Hawaii. Other amenities include a tennis court, a fitness center, and a private, historic clubhouse that dates back to 1919 and has been home to many prominent Maui families throughout the years. The weather is almost always sunny, and the private beach is also great for surfing on the south shore or relaxing away from the touristy resorts.
