Kahana

Kahana is a small beachside village tucked between the resort towns of Kaanapali and Kapalua. The borough perpetuates an easygoing vibe and a strong sense of community. Most of Kahana’s visitor accommodations are perched directly on the oceanfront, boasting A1 views of the setting sun, the neighboring isle of Molokai, and the resplendent nearshore reefs. Kahana’s coastline is littered with secluded pockets of sand and hidden snorkeling nooks. On land, you’ll find favorite local eateries like Dollie’s Pub, Miso Phat Sushi, and Maui Brewing Company within arms reach. A short drive north or south will lead you to championship golf courses, five-star restaurants, excellent snorkeling, and an array of beaches.

Kahana was once home to a cluster of coastal settlements. The Hawaiian people of Kahana grew sweet potatoes in the sandy soil and built a small fishpond on the banks of the Kahana Stream (near where Kahana Village is today). The area began to change dramatically with the formation of Honolua Ranch in the mid-1800s, which later expanded to encompass 24,000 acres in West Maui. Later, Kahana and the surrounding areas were hubs for pineapple cultivation. As the pineapple and sugar industries declined, Kahana— and the rest of West Maui— transformed into the tourism hotbed it is today.
