Black Sands at Makena, a gated oceanfront community, consists of 7 custom
homes in Makena, across a 6-acre parcel on
Oneuli Beach, one of only two black sand beaches on Maui.

- Lot sizes include two at approximately 1 acre and five at around 0.5 acres, all elevated above Oneuli Beach for privacy and expansive views.
- Designs features include contemporary Hawaiian architecture with warm woods, natural stone, 10- to 20-foot ceilings, and 12-foot retractable glass doors for fluid indoor-outdoor living.
Location Features & Amenities - Properties include infinity-edge pools, oversized spas, and cabanas with outdoor kitchens, ideal for entertaining or seasonal whale watching from large lanais.
