However, if you’re looking for a little extra dose of island bliss, The Whaler on Kaanapali Beach is an excellent option. Here’s why:

Condo-Style Vacation Rentals Ideal for Families and Couples

A stay at The Whaler on Kaanapali Beach is an excellent option for families and couples looking for the perfect blend of comfort and class on their Maui vacation. Our condo rental at The Whaler is a spacious 625 sq. ft. studio that comfortably sleeps up to 4 guests! It features oceanfront views, a king bed and a queen sleeper sofa, as well as central air-conditioning for your comfort. The unit also comes equipped with a full kitchen, ideal for prepping a healthy breakfast and coffee before heading out to the beach, or for warming up leftovers from one of the many local restaurants nearby. There is also a washer and dryer on site, so you never have to worry about overpacking or storing wet towels and bathing suits. 

It’s Located Near Maui’s Best Beaches

One of the other benefits of staying at The Whaler is that it’s located on and near some of Maui’s top beaches. The resort is located on Kaanapali Beach, which is known for its beautiful white sand, sparkling turquoise waters, and amazing sunsets. Travelers can also enjoy great snorkeling at nearby Black Rock (Pu’u Keka’a), a famous site known for cliff diving and an abundance of marine life. Other notable beaches nearby Kaanapali are Baby Beach and Kahekili Beach Park is both known for their calm, shallow waters, making it an ideal location for snorkeling and swimming for families with younger children.

Make Your Vacation Extra Special with Resort Amenities

Our Kaanapali Beach Rentals are ideal for vacationers looking for a little extra R&R during their stay! At The Whaler, you can keep up with your fitness and enjoy top-quality amenities such as their on-site gym and tennis courts. The resort also features a beautiful beachfront pool and hot tub, as well as easy access to the world-famous Kaʻanapali Beach. While it can be difficult to find beachside parking, our guests don’t have to worry! A stay at The Whaler includes on-site parking, so you can walk down to the shore whenever you please. The resort also regularly hosts special events and classes like game nights, bocce ball and cornhole, yoga, and even concerts. 

Enjoy Shopping at Whalers Village

Another positive of staying in one of our Maui vacation rentals is that you’ll have access to some of West Maui’s best shopping, restaurants, and more! The Whaler on Kaanapali is right next door to Whalers Village, an open-air, oceanfront plaza featuring over 65 boutiques, delicious restaurants, and local attractions. Here, guests can enjoy high-quality island shopping at stores like Blue Ginger, KaiAloha Supply, and Tommy Bahama. There are also some fantastic places to eat, like Hula Grill, which serves up delicious fish tacos, burgers, and cocktails right on the shore. Leilani’s on the Beach is also a popular choice for oceanfront dining, with a menu featuring fresh seafood plates.

Prime Location for Experiencing the Best of Maui

The best thing about staying at The Whaler on Kaanapali Beach is its location! Kaanapali Beach is famous for its attractions and water activities, such as kayaking, paddleboarding, parasailing, and surf lessons, which our guests can access with ease right on the beach. The resort concierge can also help you book a memorable experience, such as a sunset cruise or a whale-watching tour, depending on the season. Just a short drive away, you can enjoy beautiful Napili Bay, known for excellent snorkeling, often with sea turtles. Many also visit the Kapalua Coastal Trail, which offers some of the most stunning coastal views in Hawaii.
