Ulupalakua Ranch–Maui

Nestled on the slopes of Haleakala volcano in Maui, Hawaii, this historic 33,000-acre working cattle ranch dates back to 1856 and stands as a living testament to tradition, innovation, and sustainable stewardship. Home to one of Hawaii’s largest cattle operations, Maui Wine, and a pioneering wind farm, the ranch proudly blends authentic Paniolo (Maui Cowboy) culture with breathtaking landscapes and a deep commitment to renewable energy.
We were entrusted with a comprehensive study and master planning vision to enhance the guest experience while honoring the ranch’s working heritage. Over the next three years, Destination Design will lead the planning and theming for new interactive attractions and a thoughtfully integrated agricultural residential development that celebrates the soul of Ulupalakua Ranch.
