Kohea Kai Opens as Maui’s Newest Adults-Only Boutique Resort

Kohea Kai Resort Maui, an adults-only resort announced today it is now open and welcoming Maui visitors.

The 26-room boutique property is located in the heart of Kīhei just steps from the beach.  It boasts ocean views, a rooftop lounge, outdoor pool, complimentary breakfast and is staffed for 24-hour check-in reception.

“Our boutique resort was designed to be a sanctuary for Maui visitors,” said Kohea Kai Resort Maui General Manager Michael Waddell. “Guests can enjoy a tranquil vacation while experiencing the excitement of being in such close proximity to dining, shopping and world renowned beaches.”

The name Kohea Kai translates to serene ocean side, serene shore, peaceful shore as well as abundantly relaxing sea in Hawaiian. The name was chosen to tell the story of the resort’s location near the ocean and outdoor serenity spaces where the elements of Hawaiʻi can be enjoyed.

Kohea Kai features 26 guest rooms including three penthouse suites.

The Pool View Penthouse boasts 1,800 square-feet of luxurious open living space, a gourmet kitchen, indoor Jacuzzi, washer and dryer and two private lānais. This three-bedroom, two bath suite overlooks the pool and is perfect for entertaining friends.

With views of the ocean, pool or lush gardens, Full and Junior Suites feature contemporary, island inspired décor, a 3D high-definition TV, California King pillow-top bed, private lanai and a full size kitchen. In addition, Full Suites have a separate bedroom and a plush queen sofa sleeper.
