Our buildings are ecologically built, adorned with spiritual art, and surrounded by lush jungle, flower gardens, fruit trees, and a waterfall flowing into natural swimming pools with valley views.

Explore our beautiful land with organic and agroforestry gardens, chickens, countless species of flowers and plants, and temples for rest and meditation. For adventurers, our moderately challenging ocean trail offers wild beauty and occasional visits from dolphins and turtles. Prepare with hiking shoes, snacks, and water bottles. In winter, spot whales breaching from trail viewpoints or even your bed.

Living off the grid in a sustainable jungle, friendly critters are part of life. Small geckos may be seen, and we emphasize sealing uneaten food to avoid ants. Maui's tropical climate can be moist, and we strive to keep spaces clean and insect-free while living harmoniously with nature. We cater to guests seeking nature and relaxation.

Exclusive yoga classes for guests are offered Monday through Friday mornings. Our guest booklet invites you to explore more about the North Shore.

Relaxing get away!
This place was amazing a great place to get away from everything and relax and enjoy what Maui has to offer! If you are the type who wants to get away from all of the hustle and bustle! This Place Is Heaven! William the caretaker of the property was so great. He was there to help us with anything we needed, he greeted us upon arrival and we got in rather late, showed us around and made us feel welcomed. I would definitely Love to come and stay at this Retreat again!
