This incredible studio suite affords sweeping 9th-floor views of the Pacific Ocean and enjoys a commanding vantage point above the adjacent resort wings that compromise the views from floors eight and below. Nestled in the Hokulani interior courtyard, the view plane is so expansive that guests will also enjoy views of both Lanai and Molokai. An extremely rare offering, there are only four such 9th-floor studios available at the entire resort!
Relax and reconnect in the ample living space fully appointed for your enjoyment. This outstanding oceanview studio suite can accommodate up to four guests in its comfy king-sized bed and brand-new upgraded queen sofa sleeper. As day turns into evening, relax and recharge, draw a bath in the soaking tub and invite in the last rays of the day.
The glass lanai doors fully open, allowing four people to comfortably enjoy the stunning view. This suite has a southern exposure, which equates to more sun and less direct wind, generating the perfect balance for tropical air conditioning. In this suite opulence and comfort are the constant, gracefully interwoven for your happiness and relaxation.
We encourage you to express your culinary creativity in the well-appointed kitchen. The space is fully equipped with stainless steel Bosch appliances and granite countertops, and we have provided every appliance & utensil to prepare the perfect meal or refreshment... just bring the ingredients.
Enjoy your meals on the spacious lanai or dine indoors in the climate-controlled air conditioning. In addition, our commercial-grade Vitamix blender lends itself well to preparing creative libations or smoothies with fresh local produce.
Take pleasure in spending your days at the resort’s three-acre aquatic playground. With four separate swimming pools, a waterslide, waterfalls, fountains, and four hot tubs, there will be no shortage of options for you and your loved ones to enjoy.
When it is time for a bite to eat, Honua Kai is home to the popular Duke’s Beach House, which serves breakfast, lunch, dinner, and cocktails. Duke’s specializes in serving up Hawaiian-inspired cuisine using locally sourced ingredients and freshly caught seafood. Should you wish to enjoy a refreshment by the water, poolside service is available. For coffee, sandwiches, and other grab-and-go items, including beach gear and souvenirs, visit the Whalers General Store conveniently located in the Konea Tower lobby.
A state-of-the-art fitness center is located in the Konea Tower, perfect for guests looking to maintain their workout routine during their stay.
Should you feel like pampering yourself with a refreshing massage or treatment, head to the Mana Ola Spa. This sanctuary within the resort weaves Hawaiian-inspired themes and ingredients into its wide array of signature treatments. Revitalize your senses with a Hawaiian Lomi Lomi Massage, Pohaku Massage, or Purifying Ocean Mineral Facial.
If you wish to avoid excessive baggage fees from the airlines, consider packing lighter and utilizing the washer and dryer in the residence. Free upgraded 300 Mbps high-speed Wi-Fi is available and included with your stay. Complimentary booster seats, high chairs, and futons are also available upon request (based on availability).
Honua Kai occupies 38 pristine beachfront acres on the shores of Kaʻanapali’s North Beach, so you’ll literally be just steps away from the tranquility of Maui’s shoreline. Stroll out to the beach to touch your toes in the soft sand or take a refreshing dip in the Pacific Ocean. An “Ohana Play Package” including beach chairs, BBQ equipment, and a portable cooler is provided complimentary.
If during your stay you require assistance or advice about the surrounding area or the suite, rest assured that you’ll be swiftly taken care of with aloha by one of our friendly and knowledgeable liaisons - hand-picked from West Maui’s leading luxury hotels. Help will never be far away because our offices are ideally located directly across the street.

Really enjoyed our stay. The space was perfect for the 2 of us. No need for a TV (there was a large tv) when you have an amazing view of Lanai and the ocean. Evenings on the patio, enjoying the breeze was a wonderful way to revisit the day. Great complex and location. Would definitely stay there again.

This rental is amazing. What a view. We are frequent visitors to Maui and this was our first trip back since the fires. We’ve most recently stayed in Lahaina town so needed to look elsewhere. Very familiar with Ka’anapali and chose Honua Kai. We will be back! Highly recommend!

Beautiful property and this unit was perfect for my short little staycation. Amazing views and nicely appointed room and amenities. Staff was friendly and property management was easy to contact and they provided plenty of clear check-in instructions. I would definitely stay here again.
We enjoyed our stay. The resort is having renovations and wasn’t as quiet as previous stays. The unit is well equipped.

First time in Maui. These accommodations were top notch . Clean with great views. Boardwalk in back of hotel goes for miles. Duke’s restaurant located on site. This place great for kids .
Honua Kai never disappoints!! From well manicured grounds to pristine pools and lobby area, we are always happy with our accommodations.
Room #933 was an absolute delight, with the magnificent views overlooking the resort and ocean. We are planning our next visit already!
Absolutely wonderful stay. Spectacular view, pool service and we love eating at Duke's but didn't know their breakfasts were so good...plus a small Whaler's Village store on property. My husband had meetings but I had everything I needed here. Large foyer feels like a hotel, not a condo. Quick drive to the busier part of Kaanapali, less than 10 minutes. I'm in love...and w've been coming to Maui and Kauai for 44 years !!!!

Mahalo Patrice, thank you for sharing your experience - we hope to see you again soon!
Staff and grounds were all amazing! The room is a suite, perfect for a couple. The views from the room are great and overlook one of the pools and ocean. Close to Dukes and can hear the live music from your lanai. Great having an ice chest and beach chairs in the room. Can’t complain about our experience here other than the icemaker freezing up. There is an icemaker in the parking garage so we loaded up the ice chest and we were just fine. We will definitely be back!

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience Christopher. We are sorry to hear the ice maker was not working properly, our records show that this has since been fixed. We hope to see you again soon!
Great service! Originally when we booked, we didn’t read that they would have scaffolding in front of our balcony so it was a bit upsetting when we go there. We spoke with the property manager and the service was great! We ended up with no scaffolding the last 2 days which was nice. Property was beautiful, ocean was great and the bed was super comfortable. Highly recommend!
We didn’t want to leave! The room had everything we needed and more. We had a very small issue accessing beach towels but that wasn’t the condo managements fault. I only mention it because I wanted to let everyone know that the property management company was very responsive and fixed the problem immediately. The resort grounds were so clean and the room was immaculate when we arrived. Every morning we had breakfast on the lanai while watching whales (bring binoculars in the winter months). We didn’t want to leave! Mahalo!

We just returned from a great vacation in Maui. We rented this top floor studio so that we could enjoy the ocean views while our little one napped (22 monts old). The rental company was able to provide us with a pack n play and a booster chair for us during our stay which was very nice to not have to worry about renting one privately. We've stayed at Honua Kai before in a different rental unit and the only thing that I would say was a downside was that this unit wasn't stocked with much in ways of say cooking oil, seasonings, or even just complimentary coffee. I didn't necessarily expect those things to be available but at least coffee (seeing as how that's usually what is provided in a hotel stay). I think other than that small over sight I think if coffee could be provided and or if the place was stocked with just a few other random amentities it might be alittle more appealing for the price. But overall we loved the stay.

Aloha Jennifer and mahalo for your comments. We're glad to know you had a great vacation and that the complimentary pack & play and booster were appreciated. We are sincerely sorry that your unit wasn't stocked with our standard of olive oil, and a salt & pepper grinder, as well as a bag of Maui Coffee Roasters coffee. We know how important a starter bag of coffee is to our guests and we have addressed this failure with our inspection team. We hope to see you again soon. With warm aloha, MRR
Lovely complex, clean studio unit, nice little patio with ocean views, ample parking. Kitchen equipped w/ utensils/coffee mkr/skillets, salt/pepper but had no dishwashing detergent, foil, etc. Unless you want to hand wash you must buy dw detergent. They do provided mini 1oz shampoo/cond/soap so bring your own. No blankets supplied, just layered sheets. We appreciated the use of 2 beach chairs, umbrella, soft cooler & the gifted bag of local coffee. The pools are nice. Duke's food is really good & offers dine in & take out. Beach is rocky, need water shoes! Saw turtles at beach and whales from beach & our unit plus decent snorkeling just off this beach. Everything in the unit worked and was well maintained. Negative: Our friends/family renting two other units received huge welcome baskets w/ cookies, candy, lei's, champagne. Their bath was stocked w/ full size shampoo/soap, kitchen supplies & offered use of tons of cool beach gear (boogie boards, snorkle gear, pails/shovels, chairs, wagon to haul items to beach...). They were also easily accommodated in advance with late check-out (at 5pm) where our unit 933 property mgr said no (even for $$) but to call back when we arrived and ask again! When we called upon arrival as instructed they gave us until noon (2 hrs) and then they were knocking on our door at 11:45am & again AT noon. Overall, nice just lacked that vrbo welcome that others received and felt more like holiday inn.

Aloha John and mahalo for your comments. We’re glad you found the views nice. We apologize for missing some of your supplies. Our standard is to provide all paper & soap products (including dishwasher pods) and our guest experience team is available daily from 8am to 8pm to replenish these items upon request. We also provide a bottle of olive oil and salt & pepper grinders. We are happy to provide extras like foil and plastic wrap upon request. We're glad you enjoyed the welcome bag of coffee and a bag of locally made chocolates. (Your friends got some great baskets!) We’re glad you enjoyed the beach pack of chairs, umbrella and cooler. Due to liability reasons, we do not provide any pool- or ocean-going equipment. The beach directly in front of the resort has some natural rock and coral and is great for snorkeling. To the left of the resort there is sandy, easy access to the water and it’s better for swimming and other beach activities. We were only able to offer a complimentary 12pm late check out as we needed to prepare the home for the arriving guest that same afternoon. We apologize if our team disturbed you prior to 12. Thank you again for your comments. We wish you all the best with your future travels. With warm aloha, The Maui Resort Rentals ohana
The resort was lovely. Enjoyed the beach access, the boardwalk for walking, Dukes and the pools. Close to activities outside the resort too. Thank you.
We loved this place. The studio had everything the three of us needed. The pull out sofa bed was comfortable for our daughter. The kitchen had all the essentials and washer/ dryer was convenient to have in the studio, however the dryer was a little finicky. The location was perfect. Easy access to the beach and beach location had good snorkelling. Appreciated the beach chairs and snorkelling equipment. The pool is on the small side and busy. The lanai was great - we could watch the sunset every night 😊. Thanks for a magical trip staying at a great place.
