This property was impacted by the August 2023 Lahaina wildfire. Conditions, access, and future plans may have changed. Buyers and owners should verify current status and redevelopment timelines with the appropriate sources.
Puamana is a gated, low-rise, and residential-feel condo community in Lahaina. It is well suited to buyers who want a more residential West Maui setting, everyday livability, and fee simple ownership. Built in 1970 with about 230 units.

Ownership is summarized as Fee Simple. Leasehold and fee-simple carry different financing and long-term cost profiles; confirm the interest conveyed on any specific unit.
One of West Maui’s most distinctive low-rise oceanfront communities with a strong lifestyle premium.
Vacation-rental rules aside, 3 sales in the trailing year signal liquidity investors can underwrite against.
