Long before the luxury resorts, golf courses, and high-end dining, Wailea-Makena was home to fishing hale, where ancient Hawaiians built hale (traditional thatched houses) along the shoreline to prepare their catch. Rich with marine life, this land sustained generations of fishermen and their families. Today, Wailea has transformed into an upscale paradise, but its history runs deep. The connection to the ocean remains, and the spirit of this land lives on. 💙 #KaiKanani #Wailea #Makena #MauiHis
