Puamana is a Gated Oceanfront Townhome Community on West Maui’s South Shore

Puamana is a gated oceanfront townhome community on 30 acres of West Maui coastline, roughly a mile south of Lahaina Harbor.

The property traces back to the plantation era and sits on land that still carries that history: mature monkeypod and coconut palms, wide lawns between low-rise buildings, and nearly half a mile of Pacific frontage with views of Lānaʻi and Molokaʻi across the channel.

Side-by-side townhome construction means shared walls but no units stacked above you, which gives Puamana a residential privacy that tower condos do not.

The townhomes MPP Vacations manages at Puamana come in various configurations. AC offerings vary by unit; setups range from window units to split-zone systems throughout. Most MPP units have in-unit washer and dryer. Every unit has a private lanai and a full kitchen.

The property has three distinct swimming pools: the Mountain Pool (lap-friendly), the Dolphin Pool (families, with an adjacent playground), and the Ocean Pool directly on the oceanfront, the signature amenity. Tennis and badminton courts, a gym, and 24-hour gated security.

While Puamana is situated right on the water, beach sizes in Maui are prone to seasonal shifts and tide changes.

Two practical details. First, parking is paid per vehicle, paid at booking, with a maximum of two vehicles per unit; assigned carport spots are registered through the Puamana website.

Second, the gated entry and 24-hour security mean this is one of the more private residential settings available on the West Maui coast.

For broader West Maui planning, Kāʻanapali Beach is about a 10 minute drive north; Olowalu (Coral Gardens snorkeling) is 8 to 10 minutes south.

During humpback whale season (December through April), the channel between Maui and Lānaʻi delivers steady whale activity visible from the oceanfront grounds. Green sea turtles haul out on the rocky shore sections year-round. Mala Ocean Tavern (farm-to-table, oceanfront) and Star Noodle (Asian fusion) have reopened in Lahaina and are within a short drive.

The Kāʻanapali area page covers the resort-strip beaches and dining to the north. Every reservation booked direct with MPP Vacations at Puamana includes free daily Xplorie activities and the MPP Starter Kit: toiletries, paper goods, beach chairs, towels, and a cooler ready for you on arrival.
