Moments from the beach, with the town of Lahaina just a ten-minute walk away, contemporary Blue Sky Villa certainly wins when it comes to location. This five-bedroom villa boasts quirky architecture that contrasts with the surrounding tropical vegetation. With its whitewashed exterior, terracotta tile roofs, gentle curves and 'tower' feature, typical Mediterranean influences are clear.

And yet the manicured, palm-studded gardens it sits within are unmistakably Hawaiian. With views over vibrant flowers and plants out to golden sands lapped by crystal-clear waters. These scenes can be appreciated from around Blue Sky Villa's luxurious interior and ocean-front lanais. If you stay during the winter months, you may be treated to the sight of whales breaching. However, the views out to the West Maui Mountains are simply stunning at all times of the year.

Perhaps the most-impressive place to take in these paradise views is from the meditation tower - an ideal spot for yoga sessions. If you're lucky enough to have the king-size master bedroom, you’ll be able to walk straight out onto the terrace and reach the tower via a private staircase. This bedroom and the four others are all gorgeously furnished, with sand and sea tones reflecting the villa's beach setting.

Gather together on the sofa in the bright and airy living room and host movie nights in the media room. Dinner is prepared in the cook's kitchen and enjoyed at the elegant dining table. Doors open straight onto the pool terrace, allowing the sea breeze to flow throughout the living space. Highlights outside include the 65-foot lap pool, soaking pool and hot tub.

Step outside of Blue Sky Villa and straight onto the sand, enjoying leisurely strolls along the beach whenever the fancy takes you. The warm sea invites you to swim, paddle board and surf to your heart's content. Meanwhile, shops, restaurants and much more are on offer in nearby Lahaina Town.
