Kaanapali Beach

 

Kaanapali Beach

Kaanapali Beach is the major resort area on the West side of Maui.  It's six minutes (3 miles) north of the town of Lahaina.  It is my favorite place to stay on Maui.

Why stay in Kaanapali?
Kaanapali Beach has major resort hotels, condos, a shopping center, a mile-long beach, snorkeling, boats and all activities within easy walking distance.  It's on the west side of Maui, which is more lush and green than the south side (Wailea and Kihei).  And it's close to Lahaina, for lots more restaurants, entertainment, shopping, boat excursions and history.  There are booths on Kaanapali Beach where you can sign up for sailing, snorkeling, boat excursions, kayaking, luaus, surfing lessons and water equipment rentals.  Other places to stay on the West side of Maui include Kapalua, Napili, Kahana, Honokowai and Lahaina.

Hotels and condos on Kaanapali Beach include the Hyatt, Marriott, Kaanapali Alii, Westin, Whaler, Kaanapali Beach Hotel and Sheraton.  Click on any of those names in this paragraph for more information and photos, or see longer lists of choices by clicking on West Maui Hotels or West Maui Condos.

Restaurants I recommend in Kaanapali include Hula Grill, Leilani's, Giovani's Tomato Pie, CJ's Deli and Diner.  Other restaurants I suggest on Maui's west side include Plantation House, Pineapple Grill, Fish and Poi, Bubba Gump, Io, Kahana Sands, Kimos, Lahaina Coolers, Lahaina Store Grill, Honokowai Okazuya, David Paul's and Roy's.  Click on any of those names in this paragraph for more information and photos, or see longer lists of choices by clicking on Fine Dining, Moderate Restaurants, or Inexpensive Restaurants.
