New Luxury Villas to Rent on Maui, Hawaii

5-star Rental Vacation Homes on the Best Island in the World

Dec 9, 2008

Wimco has new rental villas in its luxury collection: The Maui, Hawaii vacation homes include the best views around, plus private chefs, in-home spa and yoga specialists.

Luxury rental villas offer upscale travelers the best 5-star amenities of high-end resort hotels, with the added benefit of privacy. They also allow the more romantically inclined the opportunity to gaze out at beautifully landscaped grounds from patios or porticos, and imagine upper-crust life in a more genteel era. Wimco is one of Luxury Travel's favorite luxury rental villa companies, and Wimco Villas has recently added a carefully chosen selection of rental villa homes on Maui, Hawaii to its collection. There are now 17 villa homes in the collection; here are especially recommended favorites.

Wimco Luxury Rental Villas on Maui, Hawaii

Villa Kumulani is in Wailea; this is the most popular upscale stretch of beach on Maui, with the Fairmont, Four Seasons, and the Grand Wailea resorts all staking claims as the best luxury resort hotels on the island. Villa Kumulani is a 4-bedroom rental home: It's creatively designed to match the five elements (earth, fire, water, wood and metal). Asian and Polynesian cultures are reflected in the art and interiors, and outside, an infinity pool leads to endless views of the Pacific Ocean. The villa can accommodate 8 guests.

Lavishly Teak is on Pineapple Hill on Maui's West Shore, and has a full gourmet kitchen: Like nearly all Wimco luxury properties, private chefs are easily arranged. Also on the property is a media room, private gym and of course, a lot of wood in its design - hence the name. Hawaiian accents ensure a sense of place. This is a 3 bedroom that can accommodate 6 guests.

Kapalua Crest is right on the beach, giving a sense of privacy to guests reveling in the ocean views. Oneloa Beach is right outside the door - this 1/4 long stretch of white sand is (relatively ) underpopulated by tourists. The ocean views are really front and center here, with fully retractable doors enhancing the indoor-outdoor feel of the villa. The gourmet kitchen and dining room are large enough to accommodate 8 guests comfortable, along with affording a chef the most up-to-date high-end appliances. This is a 4 bedroom and can accommodate up to 8-10 guests.

These Hawaiian luxury rental villa homes are all on Maui, which time and again has won "Best Tropical Island in the World" types of awards (Conde Nast, Travel & Leisure, Luxury Travel at Suite101.com, etc). That Wimco should now include Maui as a luxury destination for its rental villa home collection is a smart move. With plans for further expansion in the Americas, starting at the best island destination will lead to success for Wimco Villas.
