West Maui condos, in order of my preference, by Maui Jon:
Condos In Lahaina, Kaanapali, Kahana, Napili, Kapalua
Kaanapali Alii (808) 667-1400
The Alii is my favorite of all the west Maui condos because it is the best condo on Kaanapali Beach, my favorite part of Maui. Each condo unit here is a large luxury suite (one or two bedrooms). These beautiful condos are expensive, but you get about 1500 square feet in a one-bedroom and about 1800 square feet in a two-bedroom condo. Air-conditioned. Opened in 1982. 264 units in four 11-story buildings. For photos and more information, click on this link:
Kaanapali Alii
Whaler (808) 661-4861
The Whaler is less luxurious than the Alii (above) so less expensive, but it’s in the same great location in the middle of Kaanapali Beach. Adjacent to Whalers Village shopping center. Air-conditioned. Opened in 1976. 360 units in two 12-story buildings. For photos and more information, click on this link:
The Whaler
Honua Kai (808) 662-2800
The newest of the west Maui condos, with 628 units in two 10-story towers built in 2009. On a long uncrowded beach about a mile north of Kaanapali. Luxurious large rooms. For photos and more information, click on this link:
Honua Kai
Kaanapali Shores (808) 667-2211
Unlike most condos, Kaanapali Shores has shops and a restaurant on the premises. It’s just as good a condo as the above two but is less expensive because it is on a beach that is about two miles north of the main Kaanapali Beach resort strip. A grocery store and a couple small restaurants are across the street. Air-conditioned. Opened in 1980. 464 units in one 9-story and one 4-story building.

Kaanapali Shores
Mahana (808) 661-8751
The Mahana is one of the very few west Maui condos where every room is oceanfront, so the views are fabulous. There are studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom condos, all with full kitchens and a washer-dryer in the unit. Beach and pool are small and simple. About an eight-minute drive from the main Kaanapali resort area or 12 minutes from Lahaina. Air-conditioned. Built in 1975. 216 units in two 12-story buildings.

Mahana
Maui Kaanapali Villas (808) 667-7791
This is a way to spend less money than the Alii or Whaler and still be in a condo within walking distance of Kaanapali Beach. Sort of. This condo-hotel is on the other side of the Black Rock hill from the main Kaanapali Beach hotels, so a much longer walk to all of the resorts, shopping, and restaurants. But its beach is less crowded, and they have both hotel rooms and condo units available. Built in 1963, so it’s much older than the more expensive resorts like the Hyatt. The rooms and lobby are not quite as nice as the similarly-aged Kaanapali Beach Hotel. 266 rooms. For photos and more information, click on this link:
Maui Kaanapali Villas
Royal Kahana (808) 669-5911
The Royal Kahana is less expensive than those above because it is farther from the main Kaanapali resort strip. But it’s still on a beach and it’s within walking distance of Kahana Gateway shopping center stores and restaurants. Air-conditioned. Built in 1975. 236 units in one 12-story building.

Royal Kahana
Mauian (808) 669-6205
