Front Row Direct Oceanfront Panoramic Views. Full remodel and redecoration to ultra-lux standards.

Aloha and welcome to Modern Maui Premier Grand Residence Villa 1502 at The Resort at Kapalua Bay, a fully remodeled and redecorated ultra-lux "5-star" equivalent extraordinary oceanfront panoramic view vacation residence with 3 bedrooms (Cal King, King, 2 Queens, Queen Sofa Bed), a 4th den sleeping office room, 3.5 bathrooms, and more than 3,000 square feet of private living space. Modern Maui has a spectacular new interior featuring the best of furniture and decor from prestigious design firm Bassman Blaine. All details are entirely custom and no expense was spared to bring you the best quality and most beautiful vacation residence on Maui. See the list below of the abundant upgrades just installed in 1502 as of spring 2026.

Modern Maui Premier Ocean Grand Residence 1502 is in the oceanfront building 1 within the recently enhanced and improved Resort at Kapalua Bay, set directly on Kapalua Beach in the heart of Kapalua Resort, West Maui, Maui Island. This villa is near golf, shopping, dining, snorkeling and diving, surfing, sandy swimming beaches, hiking, water sports, and most all other outdoor recreation. Maui's Kapalua Bay Beach in West Maui previously earned the number 2 spot on Dr. Stephen P Leatherman's 27th Annual Top 10 Beach List. Attributes of the Maui location include good conditions for swimming and snorkeling with a crescent-shaped bay that boasts white sand and tropical fish offshore. You also have immediate access to the Kapalua coastal walking promenade and trail that connects you directly to four "world-class" beautiful sandy swimming beaches.

A vacation at Modern Maui Premier Grand Residence 1502 offers an opportunity to reside in incomparable luxury within Maui`s most coveted ocean and beach front enclave. From the spacious outdoor living area, gaze out towards Kapalua Bay and turquoise color coves. Kapalua Beach, a sandy crescent-shape beach where calm clear waters wash gently against golden sands, is one of the world`s most favored award-winning beaches. Located in the oceanfront row of whole-ownership private apartments, you have unobstructed panoramic views of the sparkling sapphire blue Pacific Ocean, glittering moonsets, and radiant sunsets. During winter months, and when nature cooperates, it is common to see seasonal humpback whales cavorting in the waters immediately in front of 1502. Year-round, turtles and dolphins are frequent visitors to the protective shallow coves along the coastline fronting the resort. If you get lucky and they visit during your stay, we provide a pair of binoculars for close-up viewing.

With 3.5 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, and up to 5 beds, along with more than 3,000 square feet of sumptuous indoor and outdoor living space, and a front row direct oceanfront setting, this iconic private vacation villa is truly comparable to the Presidential Suites in top quality hotels. Modern Maui is located on the 5th top floor of the one and only building 1 in The Resort at Kapalua Bay. No other residence in the resort provides this location or quality of interior renovation and decor/furnishings. Further, 1502 does not share any walls with other apartments so it's very quiet overall. You access 1502 via a semi-private elevator that takes you directly to the garage and very close to your tandem (2 car!) parking spaces. Private Paradise Villas is immensely proud to feature this stunning new home, available for reservations now.

As of March 2026, the former Montage Kapalua Bay on Maui has transitioned to The Resort at Kapalua Bay. Marriott International has taken over management of the HOA and resort operations and it will be rebranded as a St. Regis in 2027, so coming soon is a resort operation that pairs nicely with the quality of villa 1502.

This hotel-zoned, legally permitted vacation residence offered exclusively by Private Paradise Villas is provided replete with RESORT AMENITIES, such as complimentary spa access/passes for guests 16 years and older, beachside services such as towels, chaise lounges, and umbrellas for up to four (4) guests (fees apply after four guests), poolside towels and water service, access to cabana rentals, and much more.

Modern Maui Villa 1502 is one of very few privately-owned, independently managed villas offered as a vacation rental within the resort. Modern Maui Premier Ocean Grand Residence truly is "Your Own Private Paradise".
