Ka'anapali

Kaanapali is the buzzy heart of tourism on Maui. Luminous beaches and dazzling resorts characterize this West Maui enclave. In Kaanapali, activities and adventure are at your fingertips. Visitors can find top-notch shopping and dining in Whalers Village, spectacular luaus at select resorts, and nearby opportunities for snorkeling, golfing, parasailing, and ziplining. However, for those who prefer to downshift while on vacation, Kaanapali is home to esteemed spas, luxurious resort pools, and some of the best hotel room views on the island.

While Ka’anapali may be a sought-after vacation destination today, the area is rooted in Hawaiian history and lore. Kaanapali’s most famous landmark, Black Rock, or Puu Kekaa, was said by Hawaiians to be where souls lept from the physical world into the spirit realm. Since Hawaii’s pre-Western-contact era, Kaanapali has gone through numerous transitions. The area once housed prosperous Hawaiian villages, then bustling plantation communities, and even a horse racing track where royalty, plantation owners, and makaainana (commoners) would gather to bet on their favorite horses. Kaanapali was first developed for tourism in the early 1960s, laying the foundation for the lively resort town Kaanapali is today.
