Villa Kumulani is a breathtaking and magnificent home compliments of world-renowned architect Tan Hock Beng. Covered walkways connect living pods to bedroom suites. Tropical greenery, water features and the ocean create dynamic and amazingly peaceful views. The entire home appears to float above tranquil pools that reflect the joys of a Hawaiian vacation. Located across the street from one of the most beautiful spots on Maui, Palauea Bay, this home emanates intricately designed beauty and luxury.

Bask in the Maui sun by the infinity pool with heated and unheated spa areas. Enjoy the view while dining outdoors in the bar-be-que and dining pavilion. Rich tropical woods line and accentuate the floors, walls and vaulted ceilings. Rooms are much more in Villa Kumulani; each area is its own extraordinary structure with brilliant appointments and an exceptionally relaxing yet lavish quality.

Traveling to China to search out furnishings and artwork, Lowell Tom of Philpotts & Associates of Honolulu, created interiors with a Far East inspiration. Each of the 4 bedrooms is carefully designed with comfort and taste in mind. The Master suites features a King bed opening onto a private lanai and access to the pool and sun daybed. The Master bath is an amazing room with opposite facing sinks with private vanity, separate toilet, shower and Jacuzzi tub room. The shower opens onto a private lanai with outdoor shower. Two of the bedroom suites feature Queen bed and is accompanied by a full granite and marble bathroom with dual sinks, shower, Jacuzzi tub and private garden. The last bedroom suite is a Queen bed with private en-suite bath. Each bedroom offers a flatscreen television, DVD stereo system and internet access.

The home follows a quad design with a beautifully landscaped grassy courtyard at the center. Guests meander indoor and outdoor seeking shade and sun for the ideal balance of Wailea scenery. Each of the four main structures are connected by elaborate rust-colored pillars and wooden covered passages. You will use stepping stones over the interior water feature. You can stop at the interior Zen garden.

From the pool deck, all five of the earthly elements - fire, earth, metal, water and wood - can be seen. Bensley Design Studios of Bangkok are the creators of the landscape, sculpture and artwork. Their philosophy is to cultivate the natural landscape by infusing together the physical, cultural and spiritual elements. Each sculpture is an artistic interpretation of a scene in Hawaiian history or an element of Hawaiian culture. For example, the fire torches at the edge of the pool are lava columns, holding Pele's fire.

Guests after dining in the courtyard or dining room effortlessly spill over into the living room and onto the pool deck to enrapture in some of Maui's finest sunsets. Or come together with your family and friends are enjoy the vivid and relaxing spaces, then retreat through the breezeway to your own private suite. Villa Kumulani is an elegant experience for 8 adults and ideal for private events.

Amenities include a fully-equipped gourmet kitchen with top-of-the-line appliances and cookware, wireless internet with MAC port, satellite television, five HDTVs including a 52" television in the media room, DVD/CD surround sound system, central stereo and saline infinity pool with spa. Of course, the Villa Kumulani boasts ideal location in central Wailea. Everything you need is within a half mile. Just one block from the Kea Lani Resort and Spa, and just a 10 minute walk to the exclusive shops at Wailea including Louis Vuitton, Gucci and Tommy Bahamas, guests can enjoy the privacy of this almost 2 acres estate and access to some of Maui's main attractions.
