Views of nearby islands from the award-winning Kā‘anapali Beach.

Hawaiʻi’s second-largest island is full of the aloha spirit with world-famous beaches, breathtaking sunrises and awe-inspiring sunsets. It’s even been voted ‘Best Island in the US’ – yep, not just in Hawaiʻi – by Condé Nast Traveler‘s discerning readers for more than 20 years.

Award-winning Kā‘anapali Beach is located on West Maui’s sun-drenched coast and is prized for both its inviting golden sand and crystal-blue waters. Kā‘anapali Beach Hotel (KBH) sits on this world-famous shoreline with ocean adventures and blissful relaxation aplenty. Honestly, you had us at aloha.

4. Under the sea

Kā‘anapali Beach Hotel is also just footsteps away from a prime snorkelling spot – the landmark northernmost cliffs of Pu‘u Keka‘a (aka. Black Rock). The mixture of mild ocean conditions, clear waters and soft, powdery sand make for fantastic snorkelling.

DIY with free snorkelling gear from the hotel or join a guided snorkel tour to Pu‘u Keka‘a, paddling out on a raft to swim around the pristine environs for a fish-eye look at the submerged underwater world.

3. Unbeatable views

Boasting beachfront views at every turn, KBH knows how to wow. Taking cues from nature, you’ll have a front-row seat to some of the most spectacular sunsets and sunrises in the world – something West Maui is famous for. Drink it all in from Huihui,  KBH’s beachfront restaurant. You can also soak in the view from the Kāʻanapali Beachwalk.

Expect unmatched panoramic vistas of the sparkling Pacific Ocean as you sip Mai Tais at the bar and from your oceanfront room too. Plus, you can even spot neighbouring islands Lānaʻi and Molokaʻi across the iridescent blue Auʻau Channel, highlighted in a golden glow at sunset.

2. Whale of a time

Watch humpback whales frolicking in Maui’s winter season.

Maui’s winter months are prime whale-watching season as these magnificent marine mammals make their way from Alaska to breed in the shallower, warm waters. Maui is hands-down the best island for all the whale-watching action thanks to the channel between Maui and Molokaʻi (Pailolo), and the channel between Maui and Lanaʻi (ʻAuʻau). You can spot koholā (humpbacks) right from Kāʻanapali Beach in season.

You can also watch the thousands of koholā that travel to Hawaiʻi between December and May on a dedicated tour. Keeping a respectful distance, expert guides will take you to the best spots to watch whales at play.

1. Living that island lifestyle
