Wailea Ekolu sits on 18 Acres Overlooking the Wailea Blue Golf Course
Wailea Ekolu is a low-rise condo resort on the Wailea hillside — 148 units across 17 two-story buildings on roughly 18 acres of tropical landscaping, shaded walkways, and manicured lawns that front the Wailea Blue Golf Course.
The resort sits across the street from the Wailea Tennis Club and a short walk uphill from the Shops at Wailea.
Two solar-heated pools with ocean-view sundecks anchor the grounds, along with BBQ pavilions, a recreation pavilion, and picnic areas shaded by mature palms.
The elevated setting gives many units panoramic ocean views toward the outer islands.
MPP-managed units at Wailea Ekolu are 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom condos with fully equipped kitchens, dining and living areas, vaulted open-beam ceilings, and private furnished lanais. Floor plans run roughly 1,070 square feet.
All MPP units have AC throughout — living rooms and both bedrooms — and all include in-unit washer and dryer. Interior finishes, bed configurations, and views vary between condos since each is individually owned; the MPP team walks you through each unit’s layout and setup at booking.
Wailea Ekolu stays through MPP carry no resort fee — confirmed at booking. Parking is open on-site and free.
On the property side, the two solar-heated pools, BBQ pavilions, recreation pavilion, and 18 acres of golf-course-fronting tropical grounds are the headline shared amenities.
The hillside elevation and low-density layout give Wailea Ekolu a quieter, more residential feel than the beachfront towers along the coast below.
