Kapalua Bay Villas Condo Rentals
Luxury Oceanfront in Kapalua Resort
The Kapalua Bay Villas were the first luxury condominiums constructed in the Kapalua Resort. Made up of 141 condo units located between Kapalua Bay and Oneloa Bay, the Villas welcome you to one of the most pristine and secluded locations on Maui — with breathtaking ocean views, fresh breezes, and easy access to the Kapalua Coastal Trail and some of the best beaches on Maui: Kapalua Bay, Ironwoods, D.T. Fleming, and Napili Bay.
Units range from 1,100 to 2,000 square feet, featuring high ceilings, fully equipped kitchens, air conditioning, in-unit washers and dryers, and spacious balconies. Guests enjoy three swimming pools, two tennis courts, spacious grounds, and easy access to restaurants such as the Cliff House, Cane & Canoe, Honolua Store, Sansei, Taverna, the Pour House, Plantation House, and Merriman’s Kapalua. Neighboring Napili adds casual spots like A’A Roots, Maui Tacos, Fond, Joey’s Kitchen, and Mama’s Ribs & Rotisserie, plus oceanfront dining at the Gazebo and Sea House.

World-Class Beaches Within Walking Distance
Dr. Beach named Kapalua Bay the Best Beach in the U.S. for 2018, calling it “a perfect beach for swimming and snorkeling in the clear, azure waters … protected by two headlands formed long ago by lava flows.” You can review the annual rankings at Dr. Beach’s Top 10 Beaches list.
Oneloa Bay — known to locals as “Ironwoods” — is a long, white, breezy beach just north of Kapalua Bay, favored by surfers and sunbathers who want fewer crowds. Slaughterhouse beach, despite the name (a nod to the area’s cattle-ranching past), is a secluded cove with exceptional ocean clarity. Furthest north, Honolua Bay hosts the Maui Women’s Pro surf competition and draws some of the world’s best athletes.
Kapalua Resort: Golf, Hiking, and Signature Events
Championship Golf
The Sentry Tournament of Champions is held annually at the world-famous Kapalua Plantation Golf Course — the opening event of the PGA Tour season, honoring the prior year’s winners. The par-73 Plantation course is especially challenging thanks to the daily 15–20 mph trade winds that keep Maui cool. The tradition dates to the tournament’s founding in 1953.
Hiking Trails
The Kapalua Coastal Trail runs from D.T. Fleming Beach, along the front of the Bay Villas and the Montage, ending near Merriman’s at Kapalua Bay — easy for any ability. The Village Trails cover the old Kapalua Village golf course with easy loops or a climb to the Duck Pond and panoramic views of the Pacific, Molokai, and the coastline. For avid hikers, the Mahana Ridge Trail from D.T. Fleming Beach is about 20 miles round trip to the Maunalei Arboretum — bring water, nutrition, and watch the weather.
Festivals and Outdoor Events
The Kapalua Wine & Food Festival — one of the oldest of its kind — features cooking demonstrations, winemakers’ dinners, and two major galas (the Grand Tasting and the Seafood Festival), drawing roughly 3,500 attendees over four days. The annual XTERRA triathlon and 10k, 5k, and 3.3k community runs round out the resort’s outdoor calendar.
