The Ultimate Island Location
‘We believe a deep connection
and a sense of place is nurturing to the soul.’
Nestled between two gulches, you will find Hōkūnui Maui surrounded by green, rolling hills with majestic 360 degree views of the ocean, West Maui mountains, Molokai, Haleakala, and Pu’u Pi’iholo – just upslope of Makawao town. Makawao literally translates to ‘forest beginning’. Hōkūnui belongs to the moku of Hāmākuapoko, one of 12 land divisions on the island of Maui. Within the moku is the ahupuaʻa of Makawao, of which Piʻiholo is the region where Hōkūnui is located. This area was renowned in ancient times as a place where royalty would visit the ponds of Kalena (at the base of Pu’u Pi’iholo) to swim and relax in the pleasant upland temperatures and where the native forest thrived.
