"The entrance to heaven" in Hawaii

From Pukalani, residents have sunset views of the Pacific Ocean and cities by the beach while under the cover of lush greenery and mountain scenery. Pukalani is a Hawaiian word meaning “entrance to heaven,” as it is overflowing with luxury in the heart of Maui. Palm trees, blossoming flower bushes and tall, thin pine trees line the streets of this neighborhood. Pukalani is the largest town in the more rural Maui Upcountry, and it is perched in the foothills of Mount Haleakala, a dormant volcano and the highest peak on the island. This neighborhood has access to golden beaches, an alpine national park, and a busy restaurant and retail scene in this private and lavish community by the golf course of a country club.

Pukalani's streets are adorned with a variety of beautiful trees.
