Balinese-Inspired Maui Beach House on Spectacular Bay

From: Hawaii Life Real Estate Brokers and Luxury Portfolio

The world falls away when you enter this nearly 5,000-square-foot getaway on Maui’s Ahihi Bay, where the rainforest surrounding its five bedrooms and baths (including a guest house) comes into focus with lush, Eastern landscaping. Vaulted ceilings and traditional décor make the most of natural materials, and wall-length sliding doors make the tranquil grounds, saltwater lap pool and views of neighboring islands feel like part of the home’s spa-like interior.
