This is an extraordinary place full of genuine Hawaiian mana (blessings). It can be felt the moment you set foot on our lush land. Whether you are seeking sanctuary, looking to write the next chapter of your life, or are simply on vacation, come explore sustainable living on Maui’s premier ectotourism retreat center. We use solar power, rain catchment, and have a natural alkaline well. Secluded and oceanfront, yet close to town, we specialize in permaculture gardens and bamboo farming. Enjoy our lagoons and temples, surf our high-speed wireless Internet, or hike our amazing waterfall trails and swim the natural pools in this unique romantic setting. We are a five star certified green retreat and voted “The Greenest Spot on Maui.”
Thank you for creating and sharing this magical place with others. We experienced such peace and beauty. Our time here was so special. We loved our massages. Thank you for sharing this little corner of heaven. We will return.

We offer rooms in our main house and an independent private ohana/cottage.

We offer accommodation in our main house (Opua) and in independent private ohanas (cottages). Our rooms are spacious and idyllic, with expansive ocean views and exquisite art from all corners of the world. Each distinct space offers something unique - be it floor to ceiling windows, views of our koi and lotus pond, or sliding glass doors to a large private deck. We specialize in structural bamboo – the building material of the world to come. Since 1988, we’ve been caring for this sacred land by designing and building our structures with ecological and sustainable means. Right now we are expanding our vision with edible permaculture gardens and dedicating our efforts to reconditioning the soil and installing micro irrigation. We strive to create an environment where clean air, fertile soil, and safe, chemical free water synchronize to support our ecological, sustainable, and spiritual lifestyle.

Our cottages use an award winning design that has historically set the trend for the green building industry. Enjoy living in a bamboo ohana that sets the standard. Many of our numerous stone and woodcarvings have been handpicked and imported from Asia, creating an atmosphere of sacred cultural harmony. These intimate abodes are perfect for romantic getaways and honeymooners. We invite you to join us on this precious land. We live on-site with a wonderful group of international apprentices and are available for information and advice on how to enhance your eco experience here on Maui. Come revel in our heavenly landscape knowing you’re supporting a local green industry while offsetting your carbon footprint.

Mahalo, and please enjoy our photo gallery.

Aloha!
