Kapalua Villas Maui
Hotel Information: For residential-style accommodations—with the recreation, spa, dining, and shopping of a luxury resort next door—golfers, families, and long-term visitors seek out this 1,600-acre resort on the beach in west Maui.
The condo-style villas do not have their own restaurant or lounge, but guests can charge meals, spa services, and shopping at the neighboring Ritz-Carlton Kapalua and Kapalua Bay Hotel to their room account.
Amenity highlights: The Kapalua Villas Maui Resort is situated on three white-sand beaches on Kapalua Bay. Two of its three golf courses were designed by Arnold Palmer, and the 10 tennis courts are lighted for complimentary play day or night.
Through adjacent hotels, guests can dine in more than a dozen restaurants; they also enjoy the spa services of the Ritz-Carlton for an additional fee.
A complimentary shuttle is available by request for transportation between all points on the resort and the West Maui Kapalua Airport.
Insider tip: Kapalua is home to ancient Honokahua burial grounds discovered during the construction of the Ritz-Carlton hotel adjacent to the Villas. In 1992, the resort's parent company also donated Pu'u Kukui, an 8,661-acre forest with rare and native plants and animals, to the Nature Conservancy of Hawaii. The resort's 1,600-acre grounds also include the Catholic Sacred Hearts Church and Kumulani Chapel for weddings.
The Kapalua Villas Maui resort features 280 privately owned oceanfront, ocean-view, or fairway-view villas with one, two, or three bedrooms. Condominiums spread throughout the resort have 6-8 units per building. Floor plans include townhouses or loft-style units with an upstairs bedroom, or one-level units. Sliding screen doors access lanais furnished with lounge chairs and table with chairs.
All units include living rooms with wet bars and full kitchens with dining tables and chairs. All units provide washers and dryers, along with TVs in bedrooms and living rooms. Complimentary high-speed Internet access, complimentary local and long-distance calls, and voice mail are among the additional amenities.
Full-sized sofa beds are available on request for one-bedroom villas, subject to availability. Air conditioning may also be requested, subject to availability.
