Maui Resort Rentals is proud to present this stunning 1BR oceanfront residence at the iconic Whaler Resort on Kaanapali Beach—newly launched and available for bookings starting July 5th, 2025!
Situated in one of the most coveted locations at The Whaler Resort on world-famous Kaanapali Beach, Suite 1001 invites you to experience the very best of Maui beachfront living. This rare 1BR/2BA oceanfront corner residence offers unobstructed panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and the neighboring islands of Lanai and Molokai from its 10th-floor vantage point, high above the palms.
Step out onto your expansive wrap-around lanai, overlooking the resort’s tranquil interior courtyard, and enjoy year-round sunsets along with front-row whale watching during the winter months. Lounge in the sun, dine in the fresh Maui air, or simply take in the picturesque views stretching from Black Rock to the lush West Maui Mountains towering to the east.
Inside, ocean views extend deep into the fully renovated and thoughtfully designed interior featuring one primary bedroom and two full bathrooms. Drift off to the gentle sounds of the ocean in the king-sized bed, and accommodate up to two additional guests with the comfortable sofa sleeper in the living area. Both bathrooms have been beautifully renovated and feature walk-in showers and spacious vanities.
The fully equipped modern kitchen has been conveniently stocked with everything you will need during your stay making it easy to prepare the perfect meal or refreshment. For added convenience, a washer and dryer are located inside the unit.
Nestled right in the heart of Kaʻanapali Beach, steps from soft sands and pristine waters, The Whaler boasts one of Maui’s best resort locations. This world-famous beach offers an abundance of shopping, dining, and activities right at your doorstep. Luaus, dinner cruises, snorkel trips, parasailing (summer only), whale watching (winter only), surf lessons, and more are only a short walk away.
Lounge by the sparkling beachfront pool and hot tub or take a dip in the crystal blue waters of the Pacific Ocean. A beachside towel desk can assist with gear rentals for snorkeling, stand-up paddleboarding, surfing, and more. Additionally, enjoy a game at one of the tennis or pickleball courts or a workout in the fully equipped fitness center.
The Whaler even has a private entry directly from the resort to Whalers Village, a beachfront mall offering unique boutique and high-end stores in addition to an array of dining options ranging from grab-and-go to fine dining with sweeping ocean views.

The location and view is what you are getting with this corner condo located on the 10th floor! You can watch the sunset right from your balcony. Super helpful to have a W/D inside the condo. Only a few steps to the Whaler Village shopping center where you can shop and dine. Enjoyed having a rental car and super easy to park in the parking garage.The grounds at The Whaler are well kept. We did not use the pool but did rent equipment (cabana & snorkel gear).The condo is a bit dated with the furniture and the mirrors all through on the walls and especially in 1 bathroom.Management company was attentive when we had questions.Overall a great stay! Photo attached was taken from the balcony!
