Maui’s most luxurious swimming pools

There’s nothing like enjoying the warm summer sun and taking a dip in calm, clear water to cool off — right in the privacy of your own backyard.

Maui is full of pristine, white-sand beaches and tropical waterfalls, but there’s nothing that rivals the seclusion and tranquility of having a pool at your own home. And at dozens of estates on Maui, there are some of the most exquisitely designed pools, which appear to blend seamlessly into their luxurious surroundings. Here are a few of our favorites:

315 Pauwela Road, Haiku, Hawaii 96708

Sit back, relax and enjoy the sounds of the tropical flora and fauna that surround this breathtaking home. The pool — and the expansive lanai that surrounds it — are truly the focal point of the property, which is nestled in one of the most ideal areas of Haiku.

The home is surrounded by tropical landscaping, which hides the pool from view to achieve the ultimate privacy. On chilly Upcountry nights, enjoy the jacuzzi under Maui’s dark, starry nights, or host family and friends to cook out on summer days in the yard around the pool.

222 Keoawa St, Lot 17 Honolua Ridge, Kapalua, Hawaii 96761

Situated on the slopes of the west Maui mountains, this home offers the breathtaking views from Lanai to Molokai — from the inside of the home, and the pool.

Take a leisurely swim looking out to the warm Pacific ocean, all within the privacy of your own abode. Spanning more than six acres, the estate offers seclusion and peace, which are best experienced while enjoying a colorful Maui sunset by the pool.

7131 Makena Road, Makena, Hawaii 96753

Take a dip in the solar-heated pool overlooking one of Maui’s finest views of the south coast. Cascading waterfalls surround the pool area, which appears to flow seamlessly from the indoor comforts of this magnificent estate. This home truly epitomizes the best of indoor-outdoor living on Maui.

After a long day, relax in the jacuzzi while gazing out to the waves washing up against Maui’s south shore. During the summer and holidays, this home offers the perfect poolside lanai for entertaining friends and family.
