The space
The Banyan House is one of 3 vacation homes on The Last Resort. You’ll love staying at the Banyan House because:

CHEF-GRADE KITCHEN. The kitchen is outfitted with new, high-end appliances, including TWO dishwashers, TWO sinks and a wine fridge. In addition, the cabinets are stocked with everything you need from Williams Sonoma to prepare meals.

LUXURY. We renovated the property with everything from stone countertops and Grohe bath fixtures to Restoration Hardware furniture and linens from West Elm and Crate & Barrel.

AMENITIES. From hammocks and board games to beach gear and BBQ grills to organic bath products and eco cleaning supplies - The Last Resort has every amenity your group needs to settle in and comfortably stay awhile.

OUTDOOR SPACES. With temperatures in the 70’s/80’s and a constant breeze, you’ll want to hang out on the Banyan House’s upper AND lower lanais all day. There’s also two large outdoor dining areas for sharing meals. In addition, the home features our largest lawn complete with a prolific 300-year old Banyan Tree and tree swings. You’ll also have access to our orchard.

NATURE. The Banyan House offers views of Maui, the ocean, a serene cow pasture and tons of foliage. You’ll hear sounds of ocean waves, frogs, birds and breezes as you drift to sleep with the windows open.

Guest access
Guests have full access to the Banyan House. They'll share a lawn, BBQ area and outdoor-accessible laundry room with Bamboo Suite guests and the property managers.
