About this property
Whaler 1201 – The Crown Jewel – Luxuriously Remodeled 12th Floor Oceanfront Royal Penthouse!
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 primary suite features a king-size bed, while the second 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-size 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 Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances and features everything you need to prepare the perfect meal.
Two primary 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.
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.
Should you choose to rent a car, complimentary self-parking is available on-site. 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 just minutes away.
*Complimentary self-parking.*
**Please note that the Whaler has a $35+tax/day resort fee collected at check-out (subject to resort changes).**
***Please note that The Whaler is in the hotel-zoned area meant for tourism and thus safe from Maui's pending short-term rental ban affecting apartment-zoned areas.***
****Please note that The Whaler poolside grill area is currently closed until further notice. To accommodate guests during this time, temporary portable BBQs have been placed at the Tower 2 grill station for your convenience.****

For us, the only thing better than calling Maui home is the privilege of sharing it, so let us help you make your Maui vacation dream a reality.
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.
