In Hawaii on Maui's rugged north shore lies a magical place unlike any you'll visit in your life. Featuring the finest in tropical indoor/outdoor living, Hale Pali Ku defines the term "Rustic Elegance."
E Komo Mai is how the Hawaiians who lived on this very land 300 years ago would have welcomed you to this special place.
My name is Ryan, and I welcome you into the home my friends and I built from artifacts and ideas we collected from around the world. Hale Pali Ku's dramatic architecture, stunning view, and amazing artwork will be like nothing you've ever experienced. Here in the jungle, you will discover a different way of living... the way we call "local." In Hawaii, we remove our shoes at the front door. In Asian style, we enjoy the trade wind breeze through open doors and indoor/outdoor living, sleeping draped in the elegance of tropical netting, dreaming of slumber in the garden. We care for, or "Malama", the natural world which sustains us, respect local culture, and spread Aloha to everyone. Instead of looking for the things we don't have in life, we appreciate what we do have.
Relax on the lanai with oceanview of Northshore Hale Pali Ku is snugly perched on the pinnacle of a lush precipice, offering breathtaking views in every direction. Eating on the Asian dining platform, you overlook a verdant canopy of tropical trees, punctuated by the stunning orange blossoms of African tulip trees. Our skyline consists of Cook and Norfolk Island Pine silhouettes bordering the sapphire Pacific, which seamlessly melts into the endless horizon. Hale Pali Ku is a Polynesian inspired vacation villa that was built with rich woods, bamboo and tender care. Thoughtfully decorated in a palette of warm, comforting colors and sensuous furnishings, you'll slumber in peaceful Zen surroundings and wake to a symphony of exotic birdsong.
Connect with nature in a way you've only dreamed in our outdoor shower. Refresh your skin under a cascade of hot water while a whisper of breeze caresses you.
Because we grow much of the food we eat at Hale Pali Ku, we show our gratitude for Mother Nature's gifts by giving back. While our kitchen is outfitted with top-of-the-line stainless steel refrigerator/freezer and full-size gas stove, we remain eco-friendly by not utilizing a disposal or dishwasher. Instead we make compost from our organic waste to nourish our garden and employ a deep copper sink to wash dishes.
This 1,600 sq ft. second level suite offers a lofted bedroom and a master bedroom that has a built in bed nook with a stained glass window. Seamless boundaries are created throughout, as the carved teak wall slides open between the master bedroom and living room. Similarly, custom accordion glass doors slide open to create a 16 ft. opening between the living room and 600ft. lanai. Once on the lanai, lounge on the custom Balinese dining platform and gaze over the hot tub and jungle to see ships pass in the distance and whales jump! Three stained glass windows, seven carved Balinese doors, a carved marble outdoor shower, Moroccan lighting, hardwood throughout, all windows custom milled with mitered glass corners, copper sink, and art built into each nook and cranny.
