Kapalua: Maui's original resort and golf destination
World class golf and world class surf make a world class resort. There’s very few places around the world that can claim this prestige: a tournament of champions PGA tour stop (The Sentry at the Plantation Course) that is literally overlooking a world championship tour surf location (Honolua Bay). Kapalua is just that special and exclusive in the world of sport!
Unlike all the other resort areas that reside on the leeward coasts, Kapalua’s climate is much more mild. Its location on the slopes of the west Maui mountains makes sure it experiences a cool breeze and often-passing showers. The surrounding greenery and towering pines wouldn’t have grown otherwise!
Home to some of the island’s nicest resorts like Montage Kapalua Bay and Ritz-Carlton Maui, plus high end dining options such as Merriman’s and Cane and Canoe, Kaplua caters to luxury. In many metrics Kapalua ranks as one of the richest neighborhoods across the state, coming in a number one when measuring per capita income, second in median household income, and third in median property taxes paid.
