Nestled in the remote jungle of Huelo, our private Cliff House is a couple's retreat dream! Perfect for honeymooners or vow renewal, this spot is stunning and private with views of the ocean and Hanehoi Waterfall. Guests can expect everything they need for a romantic stay on Maui: private garden, pool, hot tub, kitchen, and outdoor shower. Come rest, relax, and rejuvenate with a special Hawai'i vacation in the lush jungles of paradise.

The Cliff House is situated on the edge of the valley overlooking the ocean and thirty miles of untouched coastline stretching all the way to Hana.

Exterior features include:

- Hot tub overlooking the Hawaiian coastline and jungle
- Private tropical garden
- Private emerald-tiled pool in a lush tropical setting
- Beautiful outdoor garden shower tucked into the natural surroundings
- Poolside dining and barbecue area

Interior features include:
- Kingsize bed in the center of the house beneath a large skylight. This serves as both a lounge area during the day and a comfortable sleeping spot beneath the stars at night
- Javanese marble floors and walls, with teakwood beam ceilings
- Standard kitchen (minus oven - we provide two induction burners and a convection oven)
- Outdoor shower surrounded by a garden of red ginger (Please note: This is the only shower for this accommodation, no indoor shower)

Guests have private access to the Cliff House and its' amenities. You also have access to our 8-acre property and its eco-retreat facilities which include the large saltwater pool, hot tub overlooking the ocean, community kitchen, dining areas, and organic garden farm.

Office is open Mon - Sun from 9am - 5pm. We also provide an after-hours phone if you need anything outside these hours. Upon your booking, we provide you with a Welcome Booklet that includes local recommendations and anything else you may be wondering about before and during your stay.


Note: Please keep in mind, our center is a rustic compound in the middle of the jungle. We have dehumidifiers and air purifiers in every room. We are centered in a tropical rainforest with many weird and wonderful insect species. We only use natural pesticides and cleaning chemicals on the property. As a result, we occasionally have more animal visitors. Jungle critters such as geckos may creep into your room. Please rest assured, this is not a housekeeping issue, but rather the privilege of living in this magical jungle home. We are in their natural habitat, so we will not refund any portion of your stay for these house guests.

The price listed includes cleaning fees and extra coffee, tea, and cream if needed in the room.

This is not your typical hotel experience. The Cliff House is 20 mins away from Ha'iku town. We do not have a restaurant or chef on staff and recommend picking up groceries before checking in. We do not have beach access.

The solar electric system at Hale Akua currently consists of 200 solar panels, 12 inverters, and 24 solar batteries. Our founder, Lori Grace, has invested in this system to prevent unnecessary contributions to climate change. This solar electric system will add another two days of electricity, provided there has been an adequate amount of sunlight charge before an electrical outage. We also have 10 Eco-Flow batteries (3kw electricity per room) which can add two to three days of electricity if needed. Learning to live on limited electricity is a wonderful and necessary education for our current climate situation. We would like for all our guests to learn to work together with our staff in these situations.
Large hotels here on Maui that experience an electrical failure do not provide backup power, nor do they offer refunds. As we do not feel responsible for Hawaiian Electric’s failures, there will be an opportunity for education rather than a refund if we have an outage, and our staff will assist you the best they can.
