This has allowed Maui Lani to create unique land plans and subdivision layouts that sets it apart from anything on Maui and are the reason why Maui Lani Homeowners’ Association exists to oversee the implementation and adherence to the project’s design, controls and overall maintenance. Maui Lani’s highway, water, sewer, and zoning entitlements are in place, and construction of many new amenities is continuous and evolving every day.
