KAPALUA ROMANTICALLY TRANSLATED means “Arms embracing the sea”. In the heart-center of these arms is Oneloa bay and on the center of this pristine and enchanting beach stands the private beachfront gated estate... Hale Ali'i Kapalua or Kapalua Palace.
At Hale Ali'i one enjoys the tranquility and temperate weather of Kapalua's luxurious and exclusive gated community...Kapalua Place. Kapalua Place is the only privately gated beachfront community on Maui. It is one of only 5 exclusive beachfront estates located in all of Kapalua.
This refined beachfront estate offers privacy, impressive views of the ocean and neighboring island Molokai, spectacular sunset views, and tens of thousands of humpback whales, dolphins and other magnificent creatures that can be enjoyed from the expansive lanais, master suites, living, dining and family rooms.
This impressive 7,475 sq. ft. residence per county records, actually close to 10,000 ft under roof, is on .70 acres and is entered through the community gate and then a private estate gate under blossoming shower trees, gardens of mature plumeria trees, gardenias and a variety of palm and coconut trees. It's warm sun-filled outdoor shower washes away your cares and bathes you in the warmth of the island. Across the large courtyard and circle drive is the luxuriously finished 5 car garage designed to accommodate a second floor Ohana.
Hale Ali'i is aptly and imperially addressed 9 Kapalua Place. The number “9” which once was reserved for the Emperor of China is synonymous with the ideas of “long lasting” and “harmony.” It was blessed by Clifford Nae‘ole, cultural adviser for the Ritz-Carlton and Kapalua. He comes from a long line of first-born children in a native Hawaiian family. Kapalua's powerfully healing spiritual energy was explained, “We Hawaiians believe that you cannot go to the site and sit and talk and not be truthful and honest...for us, healing has a physical manifestation but it comes from the spirit.”
The wonderful feel, luxury and energy of the home is enhanced by the outstanding Feung Shui of it's design, and has been both appraised and celebrated by renowned feng shui expert, Kanoe Marciel Merino of Maui Feng Shui by Kanoe. “The feng shui of its design and significance of this home are superior to any other of its kind. With an unsurpassed beauty, matched by its heartfelt energy, this noble retreat provides an openhearted embrace to anyone who steps foot onto the estate. Each element of nature can be found in balance here, which is greatly desirable for achieving a state of harmony that brings peace to any individual. The flawless sense of tranquility, coupled with an optimistic flow of energy are easily recognizable...Positive energy, a flawless sense of balance and an immaculate hideaway, can easily describe this home that appeals to the refined buyer. Whether looking for a private retreat, or a residence for entertaining, this home personifies the meaning of the aloha spirit, and is truly grand in an easygoing, Hawaiian way,” Kanoe Marciel Merino
