Maui Resort Rentals is proud to present the crown jewel of the Whaler in the heart of Kaanapali Beach!

Newly acquired by Maui Resort Rentals in December 2018, this 12th floor oceanfront royal penthouse is considered by many to be the finest condo on Kaanapali Beach.

Originally the personal residence of the resort’s developer, the exquisite 2 bedroom + den is lavishly finished with marble, granite, onyx, and handcrafted hardwood throughout. Entry is through a lovely double door foyer area, featuring custom artwork and a skylight.

Step outside and enjoy a cup of coffee on the massive 600 sq ft wrap-around balcony. 270 degree panoramic views stretch from the lush West Maui Mountains in the east all the way to the Pacific Ocean and Kaanapali’s iconic Black Rock in the west.

Maui's picturesque neighbor islands of Lanai and Molokai form the perfect backdrop for you to enjoy one of West Maui's famous sunsets any time of the year. During the winter months, your party will be treated to some of Hawaii's best whale watching right from the comfort of your own living room.

Residence 1201 offers plenty of space to gather and reconnect because with 2000 sq ft of interior living area, this custom floor plan is the largest available at The Whaler.

The first master suite features a king size bed, which the second master suite features two queen size beds. Open the pocket doors to reveal a large den off the main living room. The den features handcrafted walnut paneling and a queen Murphy bed which offers additional sleeping for two more guests.

We welcome you to utilize the modern chef’s kitchen. The kitchen has been luxuriously remodeled with Subzero and Wolf appliances and features everything you need to prepare the perfect meal.

Two master baths offer the finest tile, glass, and stone finishings, and a third powder room offers additional convenience for your group. Free high speed wi-fi is also included with your stay.

The Whaler poolside common area provides a relaxing environment to barbecue or soak up the sun. There is also a fitness center on property

Nestled steps away from the soft sands right in the heart of Kaanapali Beach, the Whaler offers one of Maui’s best resort locations. This world-famous beach offers an abundance of shopping, dining, and activities right out your doorstep. Luaus, dinner cruises, snorkel trips, parasailing (summer only), whale watching (winter only), surf lessons, and more are only a short walk away.

For added convenience, our exclusive Maui Resort Rentals courtesy shuttle offers complimentary transportation between The Whaler and a number of West Maui locations.

For nothing less than the best, look no further than this exquisite crown jewel.

With warmth & aloha we invite you to 'InJoy' the The Whaler 1201.

Wonderful stay in Kaanapali, Maui!
Our family had a wonderful stay in unit 1201 of the Whaler. We had never been to Maui and I was a little nervous that the location was going to be very crowded and that there would be alot of traffic. The location was perfect, the Whaler was a very nice property, with a very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Our unit had beautiful views and was extremely comfortable for all of us. The only reason for a rating of 4 overall is as other reviews mentioned, the carpet needs to be cleaned or most likely replaced in the primary living area, (the fabric sofas could be cleaned as well) and the refrigerator has an issue and is rusting as the top freezer and refrigerator door were sticking/off balance that I believe is causing condensation and rusting of the hinges. I had to clean the mold built up in the seal when we arrived. For the price we paid, I should not have had to do that. The kitchen is very well stocked and otherwise wonderful. Wonderful location, views, comfortable!!!! We cannot wait to return to Maui!

Why they chose this property

West Maui has everything you could possibly ask for when traveling to the best island destination in the world. For fun in the sun, West Maui boasts a remarkable concentration of world-class beaches. The luxurious resorts of Kaanapali and Kapalua offer plenty of choices for upscale dining, golf, spas, and shopping. The magical backdrop of the Pacific Ocean and Maui’s neighbor islands of Lanai and Molokai deliver some of the most breathtaking sunsets you are ever likely to witness. Whales can be seen splashing off the coast in the winter and the summer gives way to Maui’s only spots for parasailing and jet-skiing.

What makes this property unique

This direct oceanfront corner penthouse is the undisputed crown jewel at the Whaler on Kaanapali Beach. Boasting a lavish 2000 sq ft interior, suite 1201 delivers unobstructed 180 degree ocean views that are quite possibly the best on the entire island of Maui.
