The Royal Kahana Resort is one of West Maui's premiere vacation destinations! This beachfront/oceanfront complex situated on white-sand Kahana Beach is centrally located between the Ka`anapali and Kapalua resorts, in the quiet community of Kahana. Its ideal location means that guests are within minutes of all of the activities that make Maui a top vacation destination in the world.
Our deluxe oceanfront property is very spacious at 777 square feet with a 150 square foot lanai (compared to most one bedroom units in the area). The unit is on the 9th floor and the view is incredible! The travertine lanai overlooking the beautiful Pacific Ocean and outer islands of Lana’i and Moloka’i, is the perfect place for your morning coffee, whale watching (in season), and beautiful sunsets.
This 1 bedroom, 1 bath unit has a queen-sized bed in the bedroom and the living room has a queen-sized sleeper sofa, so it can comfortably sleep four guests. The unit includes all the best: granite countertops, ceramic tile floors, African mahogany cabinets, stone-and-travertine custom shower, two plasma HDTVs, and much more. A washer/dryer in the unit, all linens, kitchen necessities, beach toys and more are available for your comfort and enjoyment.
Ample parking is available (resort fee of $18/night including taxes). Local and toll telephone calls from inside the unit are free. Free wireless internet is available in the unit. A spacious beachfront swimming pool, beachfront BBQ/picnic area, on-site fitness room, ping pong table, and a small vending area are all on site. Swimming and boogie boarding are available on the beach in front of the resort, and surfing is available a short distance down the beach. At times, mostly during the winter months and bad weather, direct access to the beach in front of the resort is limited, however when that occurs alternate access is just a short walk away.
Fine and casual dining restaurants, a gas station, a convenience store, sundry shops, coffee shop, bank, and clothing shops are all within a two-block/two-minute walk from your luxury accommodations. Championship golf at both the Kapalua Golf Course (home of the annual SBS PGA Tour Championsip) and the Royal Ka`anapali Golf Club (home of the annual PGA Senior Skins Game) are just minutes away, as are beach activities like parasailing, jet skiing, banana boating, and sailing. The best snorkeling on the island (Honolua Bay) is a short 10-minute drive.
All of these great amenities combined with this condominium's lavish appointments...the key to your perfect tropical vacation!

Beatiful Ocean Views, we could see whales and sea turtles from the patio!! Quiet Location, and Great Communion with the Hosts. The only negative was the listing pictures looks like there is beach right infront of the condo unit. There is no beach, the ocean comes up to the break wall and there are lots of sand bags. The guy at the desk told us water levels have raised the last few years. You can walk down a couple buildings and acess beach.
This is our 4th time at this building, and 3rd time in this unit. It never disappoints. That’s why we continue to stay. We took our older granddaughter with us. Her first time in Hawaii, she was over the moon. She commented several times on how much she loved the unit.
We had an amazing stay on the island of Maui with restaurants just a minute away! We snorkled right in front of our condo and had a blast! Unit could use a little restarations but over all had an amazing trip and will do it again next year.
Property was very clean, comfortable, fully equipped. Terrific location for whale watching, walk to several good restaurants and small grocery store. Hope to come again next year!
The condo we stayed at was amazing. We were close to everything for shopping and entertainment. Got to travel the island and enjoy its beauty. The condo owners were amazing and their condo was perfect. Cannot wait to come back!!!
Loved our stay! Walking distance to Miso Phat Sushi, which we loved and the bbq are at the pool area was cool too! The check in and check out process was super easy, along with the communication with the owner. Highly recommend!
Gorgeous view, very nicely decorated and up to date. Enjoyed our stay, wish we could be here longer. Only needed ac in the afternoon, just kept windows open for breeze and sounds of the surf rest of the time. Pool warm and so enjoyable.
This property was in a very nice location to explore the north and west coasts of Maui. This VRBO was very clean. We stayed in several VRBOs in Hawaii, and this was the cleanest by far. The host/s were very helpful, easy to work with, and very prompt in replying to our questions.
The property was well kept and all staff were very friendly and helpful. The condo owner dealt with a concern quickly which was greatly appreciated. Condo had many supplies provided. The view was amazing!
The property was very nice. A spectacular view from the balcony.
On site concierge to help you with sightseeing, restaurants, etc.
A couple nice restaurants within walking distance.. others close driv8ng distance.
We really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend.
This was a great property with amazing views of the ocean. We were able to whale watch from the balcony and enjoy sunsets. Interior was a little old, but nothing awful. The owner responded quickly to my emails. Would stay again in the future.
My husband, n I already knew we would love this place because this is our third year in this building, n the second time in this unit. We were so happy when we were able to book this exact unit for this years trip. Watching the sunset every night is breathtaking. The best snorkeling we have ever experienced is right there. Would definitely stay again.
Great property! Beautiful view. Easy booking and check-in process. The unit needs a few upgrades/fixes and the kitchen supplies need a bit of updates. However, we were happy and content. Thank you for a great family vacation!
Great location for us, I saw whales out in the water on the first day. I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We did find a chocolate on the floor that didn’t belong to either of us, and I found a plastic piece in one of the washcloths that could’ve been uncomfortable in the wrong area. All in all great spot and fairly comfortable place to lay our heads.

Why they chose this property
This property has a great beach (despite seasonal issues) and incredible views and provides resort amenities without the mega-resort crowd. Its location is ideal. It is quiet on-site but close enough to activities/nightlife so that you don't feel like you have to pick one type of vacation over another.
