Maui Kāʻanapali Villas is like an oasis of Hawaiian charm. We love being able to grab our morning coffee in the common area and whale watch at the lawn’s edge while deciding our plans for the day. We brought additional family with us this year and look forward to returning again in the future.

Our beachfront room was incredible--spacious, comfortable, and with stunning ocean views! The beds were cozy, the A/C kept us perfectly cool, and having two bathrooms and a well-equipped kitchen made our stay extra convenient.

Must See
Upcountry
Upcountry
Upcountry is the place to go holoholo. The only thing sweeter than the lavender and eucalyptus-scented air, is the eclectic boutiques and organic ranches.
Haleakala National Park is a destination for any bucket list. Watch the sun rise above the clouds, hike through a red cinder desert, take a scenic drive to find waterfalls, catch a vibrant sunset, enjoy stargazing... The adventure is endless.
Wailea is where you find the most beautiful beaches in Hawaii. You’ll have a tough time deciding between going snorkeling, surfing, or just relaxing -- and an easy time doing them all.
If you ask for directions on Maui, the locals will answer in the amount of time that it takes to get there, and landmarks along the way.
Maui will literally blow you away. It can be very windy on the Island, especially in the afternoon.
Take a helicopter tour to be let in on Maui’s marvelous secrets, like hidden waterfalls. A 40-50 minute tour will give you the most bang for your buck.
From late November to early April, Maui gets a visit from its favorite winter tourists: humpback whales. See them from vantage points at McGregor Point and Lighthouse or take a tour boat from Maalaea to see them up close. They're hard to miss.

Snorkeling
Let’s be clear: The water off Maui’s South Shore is so clear that you can see up to 150 feet depths. Add in the world’s friendliest sea turtles, spinner dolphins, plus hundreds of species of fish, and you’ve got the finest snorkeling in all of Hawaii.
Water-Sports
The North Shore of Maui is where it’s at for all kinds of surfing and SUP-ing (stand up paddleboarding). Wild waves and skilled instructors are easy to find, so get in the water and take up your favorite water sport.
Zip Lining
You can hang ten in the water, but you can hang 3600 on a zipline. There are many places to zipline across the island, including Maui’s longest zipline at 3,600 feet.
Adventure
Whether you ask locals or travelers what they recommend you do on Maui, hiking beautiful trails throughout the island and driving the road to Hana are a must. There’s hiking and biking for all levels but for those ready for something serious, Haleakala National Park is just the place. Maui is known for its scenic views from almost anywhere on the island, so make sure you see as many as you can while you’re adventuring.
Aston Kāʻanapali Shores
Best for Families & Longer Stays
I loved staying at this property! It was home away from home for a large multi-generational group. It was not over crowded, the beach views were stunning, and the sunsets were spectacular! The room was massive, and we had a kitchen, and a washer and dryer. The people working here are so friendly and helpful. I want to go back already!
"We really enjoy the location, the relaxed atmosphere and the close proximity to Kāʻanapali Beach and its beachwalk. The condo was nicely furnished with an aloha touch, the kitchen was well equipped, the beds were very comfy and we did not hear any noise from the neighboring rooms. Within a few steps we'd be at the pool or on the beach. The staff is super friendly and very accommodating"
What a beautiful clean place with a gorgeous view! The views were never ending, the beach was steps away, and all the good restaurants and activities were close by.
