There’s no better time to visit Maui than during their whale-watching season. Especially if you stay at Kāʻanapali Beach Hotel, where you can legit watch whales from your ocean-view room! With competitively priced accommodation, zero resort fee, and whales passing for the next few months, Kāʻanapali Beach Hotel offers you a warm whale-come! 

With oceanfront views on an award-winning beach, traditional culture and Pacific Rim cuisine, Hawai’i’s most Hawaiian hotel is paradise redefined.

Across Premium Ocean View and Premium Partial Ocean View room categories, guests can enjoy the modern décor at the Kāʻanapali Beach Hotel. Like a modern restaurant blends the best of two flavours, so too has the Kāʻanapali Beach Hotel with its newly renovated, tastefully decorated Hawaiian-themed accommodation. It’s nothing less than you’d expect from Hawai’i’s most Hawaiian hotel! 

Book a Premium Ocean View room to see the whales from certain points inside of the rooms. Premium Partial Ocean View rooms allow guests to see the ocean (and potentially whales) from the lanai (balcony).

It’s not only whales on display from these two room categories but views of the sister island, Lāna‘i, too. The perfect complement to your Maui vistas.

Kāʻanapali Beach Hotel’s Premium Ground Floor Room may not get you box office seats to passing whales, but there are different perks. These include tropical garden views in the Papakū South Wing and new Hawaiian-themed furniture and artwork that leave you in no doubt about where you are in the world.

No one in the whole wide world enjoys paying a resort fee. You simply want the price of your room to reflect what it costs to stay there. 

Thankfully, the happy-go-lucky folk at Kāʻanapali Beach Hotel are with you, adding no resort fee to your stay, despite neighbouring properties adding them to their already pricier rates. Yay for spending your savings on amazing Maui activities and poke bowls instead!  

With some of the most competitive rates on Kāʻanapali Beach, you can grab that ocean view upgrade for the same price as the lead-in room rates for the neighbouring properties. And not just during whale season – the whole year around!

With five kilometres of white sand beach and crystalline waters, it’s no surprise that Kāʻanapali has been named America’s Best Beach.  

Located on Maui’s West Shore, explore the open-air Whalers Village, the renowned whaling museum, a handy shopping complex, and even two championship golf courses. Get your adventure thrills by zip-lining, jet boating, and surfing.

Maui’s whale season has already kicked off, with humpbacks and pilot whales typically passing from November to May annually. Plenty of time to score a flight deal over to the Aloha State, right?  

Maui has the densest humpback whale population, with 10,000 swimming in its shallow waters annually. Alongside leisurely witnessing migrating whales from your balcony or room, the front desk at the Kāʻanapali Beach Hotel can also book you on a whale-watching boat trip to get up close and personal. 

Ready for a whaley good time?
