Puamana…... A residential community of private homes rather than a hotel or condominium, Puamana is a wellplanned and nicely-executed resort village. The sixty low-rise residential buildings, most of which contain several townhouses, are spaced gracefully over 28 oceanfront acres at the south end of Lahaina, about a mile from downtown. A classy Club House, formerly the home of a sugar plantation manager, is the center of activity, though there are three swimming pools, a tennis court, and paddle tennis, badminton, and shuffleboard facilities conveniently spread over the tree-shaded grounds. Quiet and secluded, Puamana is designed for family relaxation….. Puamana's mile of coastline has a bit of beach in the summer that usually disappears in the winter. Snorkeling is good year-round, however, …... The Club House has a small library, card room, and saunas, but no restaurant or lounge. Just a short hike away from party-loving Lahaina, Puamana's tempo couldn't be more different. It's a calm and restful retreat, ideal for families and friends who would prefer to take their seaside pleasures within a homey neighborhood.
