This is quite a dream location. Remote, but not too far down the winding part of the famous Hana highway on the windswept Northern coast of Maui east of Paia and Haiku town.
The Bamboo Temple provides a view from the bed that one would expect to pay thousands per night for at a Ritz Carlton or similar luxury resort. Stars through the skylight, moonshine on the ocean, and sunrises through dramatic cloud formations greet you from the floor to ceiling windows and keep you lingering in bed! The architecture of the building itself is stunning and thoughtfully appointed with art and equipment. Despite the open view from/to the bed, privacy is provided by the landscaping on the very well-maintained grounds near the cottages. Some of the far-flung paths are treacherous! But this is a wilderness area and very exciting to explore for those interested. Abundant fruits growing in the jungle provided us with fun cocktail ingredients :D
This was a splurge trip so mostly we dined and beached in other parts of the island, which proved a bit of a drive on some days. That said, several great restaurants are within 30 minutes (such as the venerable Mama's Fish House), and one should always expect to do a bit of driving in Maui anyway.
This spot would be especially good for those seeing solitude, those with a particularly eco-minded approach to life, and those intending to stay in and cook most of their own meals. If you need a white sand beach within flip-flop distance or constant internet access, this would not be a great choice. Personally, we found it to be an astounding value for a completely unique stay we will never forget. We would be very pleased to come visit again!
