The Whaler # 252 is an OCEANFRONT CORNER condo in a prime location right on Kaanapali Beach at The Whaler. It is a large 2 bedroom, 2 bath unit with over 1440 square feet of living space with a huge 508 + square foot wrap-around-lanai. Enjoy the spectacular full 180 degree breathtaking views of the Islands of Lanai & Molokai, Black Rock, and the West Maui Mountains while relaxing on your lanai. The '52' Stack, with full on view of Black Rock is the most popular stack at The Whaler and considered the "Premier View" on Kaanapali. It is away from the pool, and does not overlook the Kaanapali Beach Hotel nor Whaler's Village. From your lanai, enjoy watching the crashing surf, the islands, and people enjoying the beach. You have ocean views from every room or dine and relax on your huge wrap-around-lanai. Hear the crashing surf from every room. Watch the Kaanapali Beach Black Rock Cliff diving ceremony, with torch lighting, each evening around sunset from your lanai. The interior of the unit has an updated kitchen with a Sub Zero refrigerator. Whaler # 252 has a King size bed in both bedrooms and a queen sofa sleeper bed in the living room.

The Whaler, Maui on Kaanapali Beach, is world renowned on one of Maui’s most spectacular and popular white sand beaches. Enjoy the fantastic snorkeling just steps away at Black Rock. Wake up every morning looking, from your bed, at Black Rock, the Kaanapali Beach crashing surf, and the Island of Molokai. Enjoy ‘Maui’ sunsets year round from your lanai. This location is truly spectacular. The Whalers resort offers a Gym, Spa, Tennis Courts, underground parking, an oceanfront pool, Jacuzzi and much more. Lush tropical grounds with soaring palm trees and a walking bridge over the koi pond add to the Aloha and stunning beauty of the Whaler.

Begin each day in paradise with your morning coffee enjoying spectacular views from your lanai then step out to the beautiful white sands, tropical reefs and crystal clear warm waters of Kaanapali for a fun-filled day of sunbathing, snorkeling, or sightseeing along the scenic shoreline. The beachfront sidewalk makes it easy to stroll to restaurants and shopping. The Whaler offers many beach items and additionally, you can also rent snorkeling and surf equipment, shop at Whalers Village next door, feast at the Hyatt Luau or eat a meal at Hula Grill or Leilani's.

Then after a wonderful day of exploring and Maui adventures come home to your elegant condominium, relax on your own lanai, poolside or in the spa with a cool drink while watching another spectacular sunset. Let the soothing sound of the ocean and the trade winds in the palm trees lull you to sleep while enjoying the peaceful feeling of Aloha in your Maui home.

Whaler 252 is very popular so don't waste any time reserving this beautiful home for your Maui dream vacation. Imagine the spectacular sunsets you will see from your private wrap around lanai, get excited you will soon be stepping out your front door to the beautiful white sands and crystal clear warm waters of Kaanapali.

Thank you so much for your review. The lanai is a great spot for whale watching. We once saw a triple breach, which is very rare, from the corner of the lanai. After watching the whales, it's nice having a glass of wine and watch the sunset. Thanks again and please come back.

Thanks so much for writing a review. We too stayed in a Hotel when we first came to Maui. We started staying at The Whaler and found it to have so many advantages. Instead of going to crowded and expensive restaurants we enjoy meals sitting on the lanai with the best views of all Kaanapali. The extra room and privacy are also a great benefit. Come back again soon.
