Honua Kai | Ocean View 3 BR | Whale Watching | Car Incl. w/ 6+ Nights | HKH-529 by KBM



** Limited Time Special Offer: Reserve any KBM Resorts property in Hawaii with an arrival date between now and December 31, 2026 for 6 nights or more and receive a FREE 4-door rental car from top providers--Hertz, Alamo, Avis, or Budget. Convenient airport pick-up and drop-off is included and you'll only be responsible for a $15/day airport tax. Upgrades to larger vehicles are available upon request.Please note: Holiday periods may result in limited rental car availability. We recommend booking as early as possible.

From sunrise to sunset, HKH-529 frames the horizon toward Moloka'i, a view that shifts in color and light throughout the day from this fifth-floor position in Honua Kai's Hokulani tower. It is one of the largest floor plans on the property, with 1,600 square feet of interior living space and a 240-square-foot lanai for taking in that view outdoors.



*** Please note: our complimentary rental car offer (available on stays of 6 nights or more) is not available for stays beginning between December 15, 2026 and December 31, 2026 ***



Honua Kai is a full-amenity beachfront resort on Ka'anapali Beach in West Maui, and the Hokulani tower sits within those grounds, putting four distinct pool areas within an easy walk - an infinity-edge pool, a sandy-bottom keiki pool with a waterslide, a lazy-river lagoon, and a quieter adult pool tucked away from the activity. Guests can walk to dinner at the resort's own Duke's Beach House restaurant, book a treatment at Mana Ola Spa, or use the full fitness center without leaving the property, and direct beach access puts West Maui's dependable, colorful sunsets steps from the front door most evenings of the year.



Three bedrooms and three full bathrooms make this villa suited to larger families or two families traveling together, with enough separation that no one has to share a bathroom. This three-bedroom villa sleeps up to eight guests across 1,600 square feet of interior living space, with the 240-square-foot lanai adding a private outdoor room with a Moloka'i-facing view.



Every KBM-managed home, including HKH-529, comes stocked with Laforre bath amenities and is cleaned by the same dedicated housekeeping team on every visit. KBM's concierge desk can help arrange activities and dining reservations ahead of your trip, and guests staying six nights or longer receive a complimentary rental car for the full length of the stay. Local, on-island management is available seven days a week. Because KBM keeps local, on-island staff attached to each property rather than routing every guest request through a call center, most day-of needs are addressed within minutes rather than hours, and the same housekeeping team's familiarity with the unit carries over from one stay to the next. Contact KBM Resorts to check availability and reserve HKH-529.

Imagine waking up in a luxurious villa just 30 feet from the Pacific Ocean, where the soothing sounds of the surf fill your ears and the warm Maui sun kisses your skin. Honua Kai Resort offers you the ultimate Maui vacation experience, blending five-star amenities with the beauty of nature in a way that's perfect for families and couples alike.

excellent location and well maintained

Unit is well maintained with comfortable beds and pillows. Also has water/sand toys in the closet. Excellent viewa from the unit. Check in and out was very easy. Only item that I think could be improved is instead of providing body wash they just provide a small bar soap. Works for hands but not really convenient for showers.

Great Family Vacation Spot

The unit was clean and well stocked with essentials. There was ample space for all of us. We loved sitting on the lanai every day enjoying the amazing view with our meals. The resort staff were all friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the variety of pool options. We will be back!

Great for a multi-family reunion with kids!

Our stay was excellent! Highly recommend. It was clean, beds were very comfortable, views were amazing, and little touches were great, like washing machine tabs, beach gear, coffee, etc. The property itself was great, too! We have a toddler, and the kids' pool with a waterslide and splash pad was perfect! Duke's on the property made dinners easy, and the property has lots of BBQ grills and a little C store that came in handy. All in, we will definitely be back!

Beautiful condo in the center of the action!

Gorgeous view of ocean and pool. Extensive pools are all available to you. Duke’s is right there for a drink or bite. Beach is nice and easily accessible. Everything was easy. Condo was very nice and very clean - one of the cleanest we’ve ever stayed in actually. I made some suggestions to the staff about missing utensils and outdoor seat cushions but generally very well appointed. Would be a great place for families with younger kids. Great lawn for playing catch or whatever. KBM Staff was all very pleasant.

Amazing resort, incredible views and friendly staff

We had the best stay at Honua Kai! Our suite was clean and comfortable with incredible views. Loved watching the whales from our balcony. The pools were awesome and clean, the staff were very helpful and friendly. One of our toilets clogged mid-stay and they were very prompt to send someone to fix it. Love that the closet was stocked with beach chairs and boogie boards to take down to the beach, which was only a short walk. We would definitely stay here again!

First class property but maintenance lagging: -Shower faucets broken in the master bathroom and also in the other ensuite bathroom. - Whole row of light burned under kitchen cabinets and also in the master bathroom. - Paint job overdue, specifically in the master bathroom: there is rust on the ceiling. - Buzzing noice in the master bedroom. - Can't read the indications on the gas ovens: they are worn out. - Outdoor furnitures' cushuons are dirty. Same price as a Ritz Carlton but Holiday Inn maintenance...

4.5 Stars

We had an overall great stay at Honua Kai. It was the perfect place for our large family to gather. We ended up renting three condos and it was perfect. If it weren't for some communication difficulties, I would've given this property 5 stars without a second thought. The condos are undergoing painting on the balconies that prevents you from using them. It honestly wasn't a big deal, we still had a great view. Some properties chose to put this in their listing, however this one did not notify us until after we booked. They did comp us a significant portion off of our nightly rate which I would give five stars for, but I would've appreciated the transparency up front. I also felt like a lot of my questions took repeated emails to get responses to. Each morning on my trip was spent trying to sort through the emails they'd sent and working with their outdated payment processor to try and pay for a simple rollaway bed. It's been over 2 weeks since our trip and I'm still not sure if the payment went through--I was told someone would look into the technical issues and get back to me during my trip, but I still haven't heard anything and hopefully I wasn't charged a late fee. Overall, the trip was great, but the one less star is for the amount of time I feel I had to spend during my trip on my email, trying to get questions answered/billing errors fixed. Their customer service was very kind and respectful, they just didn't always follow up when they said they would.

Disappointed

Decor was nice, view was fantastic, we got to check in early & the unit was spacious. Unit could have been cleaned & better maintained before our arrival. The rotating plate in the microwave did not work so our frozen food would be both burnt and still frozen. Most of the wheels were off the lower dishwasher basket & it wouldn't roll out properly, we did not realize what was wrong until our last night. There was a lack of food storage containers. The toilet paper holders mounted to the wall were all loose and wiggly. There was a hand held shower mount, to adjust the handheld up or down, but it was broken. I didnt see instructions on how to operate the sound system or to adjust the fans. Figured out the fans 2 or 3 days into our stay. Drapes looked like they needed a good cleaning. There was a hand print on our closet door and something smeared on the door facing of another bedroom. The wine fridge would beep nonstop at random times when in use. We had a problem with the plumbing but it was fixed in a timely manner and we didn't have any further problems. There was no vacuum, just brooms. The boogie boards should all be replaced as they were old and falling apart. One of the chairs was rusty as well. The unit came with a washer and dryer which was a feature that was necessary for our family’s 10 day stay bc we packed light. However, it was recommended to only put 2 or 3 articles of clothing in the wash as it was a non vented system. It took many cycles for the clothes to dry & it was very time consuming. It was unclear as to whether we had linen service or not. When we called for something the agents were accommodating but the Bell staff weren't helpful with knowing what amenities I was entitled too nor did the agent on the phone remind me that I could get more of anything I needed free of charge. The resort, in the Hokulani tower, didnt seem to be cleaned frequently. We would see the same debris on the floor for 2 or 3 days. Vacationers headed home would leave their left over sealed & unsealed food on a table near the elevator. Food would remain there for a couple of days, even perishables. Most disappointing was the noise above. You could hear the residents above dragging their chairs across the floor all day long. Most aggravating was at bedtime & early morning. The service, condition of appliances and amenities fell short in comparison to cost of this rental. I expected more and left feeling unsatisfied & disappointed.

Aloha, We are so happy you enjoyed a fabulous vacation and the gorgeous view! This stunning villa offers not just sweeping ocean views but is also newly remodeled with a tasteful beach theme decor. If you ever need assistance operating any of the high-end appliances or need complimentary refills of L'Occitane bath and body lotions, soaps, detergent, or any other amenity, our 24x7 staff is based across the street from the resort and a quick call, text, or email away waiting to assist you. We do apologize for the inconvenience of the renovations in the villa above, they have completed their work and back to peace and quiet.

Wonderful Stay

We loved our stay in this beautiful condo! If you have a family it’s perfect because of the great location, resort amenities, on-site services and the condo itself. The condo does have beach chairs, boogie boards and an umbrella which were nice too. We enjoyed watching the whales from our unit every day! The unit was an ideal distance from the elevator and had all oversized doors inside for those with mobility challenges which we had during our stay. We all LOVED the beds too, to the point where we wanted to look at the brand to get them for our own house! If you’re considering staying here I would go ahead and book, it was every bit as dreamy as the pictures!

Overall, an amazing stay. We love the Honua Kai. Our family loves everything about the condo. The view from the lanai, access to the ocean, proximity to great opportunities to walk for miles, eat great food on the property (Dukes), sit poolside all day, body surf, snorkle, prepare all our meals in the comfort of a beautiful kitchen in a beautiful space, and rest peacefully in the wonderful spacious bedrooms. We cannot wait to come back!
