Overview of Papali Wailea
In 2008, Papali Wailea was completed and further enlarged in 2009. This high-end residential-style condo appeals to Maui real estate purchasers seeking luxury surroundings in the Wailea Resort. It combines the perfect blend of the privacy of single-family homes and the benefits of condo living.
Set on a 10-acre tropical hilltop, Papali Wailea has 24 fantastic homes. Each 2,386 square-foot house, with 3 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, promises loads of privacy, ocean views, and top-tier amenities like a shared pool and gym. Additionally, the property features an owner’s pavilion with amenities such as a breathtaking 75-foot infinity pool, a barbecue area, a fitness center, and a spa.
People living in Wailea enjoy the cooling trade winds, a dry temperate climate, and the relaxed vibe that makes Maui famous. In Wailea, you get the best of two worlds: the quiet charm of a unique Hawaii neighborhood plus the easy-to-reach luxury amenities in the Wailea/Makena area.

What We Love About Papali Wailea
From top to bottom, Papali is well done. The materials, layout, views, and grounds are executed extremely well. The entire vibe of the community feels like a residential neighborhood. The driveway, plus the garage and storage, gives you a ton of storage and keeps your vehicle from withering away in the Maui elements.
What We Could Do Without
For the price point, Papali does not have the most expansive views. The plus is that all units are single-level, which does maximize the view plane.

Primary Uses
Long-Term Rental
Long-term rentals are considered six months or longer here in Maui. You avoid some operations costs such as cleaning, higher management fees, and higher tax rates; however, you are likely to get more income running your unit as a short-term vacation rental. Long-term rentals also offer less flexibility for owner stays.
Second Home
If your goal is not to maximize your ROI but to use the unit as you please, you can do so. You would pay the highest and best use for real property tax, but you would not be subject to the TAT and GET taxes (see below) associated with income-producing short-term units.
Owner Occupant
If Maui is where you want to call home, the owner-occupant is the one for you. If you spend 270 days out of the year on Maui and your unit is your primary residence, then you can apply for the Owner Occupant exemption (frequently asked questions).
