Maui Eco Retreat is such a special place to unwind and reflect. They invite you to use their temples for meditation, and their outdoor grounds are so peaceful. Getting to the place was a little tricky--once you turn off the main highway, you drive a good distance on unpaved, rocky, narrow road before reaching the retreat area. That being said, it was well worth it if you are looking for an isolated place to unwind from society. Their home is solar-powered and water is drawn straight from a well, and all the appliances are very modern. Staff members are very friendly and always willing to help, and they keep the place tidy at all times. In each room, they have a little booklet that describes the history of the Retreat, a background of Kutira and Raphael, along with nearby attractions and services. I enjoyed my time here and would definitely come back again.
