For an unforgettable luxurious experience in one of Maui’s most exclusive oceanfront vacation communities, the Montage Kapalua Bay is difficult to beat. This 24-acre resort boasts 56 residential-style suites in two, three or four bedroom configurations, each with modern appointments, separate living and dining spaces, lavish marble bathrooms and state of the art technology. All accommodations include a fully equipped kitchen with top of the range appliances, and most have spacious private lanais or terraces offering stunning views of the resort’s tropical gardens or the neighboring island of Molokaʻi and the Pacific Ocean. Signature suites, featuring premium outdoor spaces and private whirl / infinity pools, are also available for guests seeking a truly elevated experience.

In keeping with the high standards of accommodation, the Montage Kapalua Bay also offers its guests a superior dining experience, with an impressive range of on-site eateries led by the resort’s elegant signature restaurant Cane and Canoe. Serving meticulously prepared Hawaiʻi-inspired cuisine from fresh island-sourced ingredients, and with impeccable service to boot, this intimate restaurant epitomizes oceanfront dining at its finest. Open daily for breakfast (07:00 - 11:00) and dinner (17:00 - 21:00), Cane and Canoe also serves a sumptuous - and hugely popular - brunch menu every Sunday from 10:00 until 13:00.

Other dining options include the secluded Beach Club with its swaying palms and Pacific Ocean panoramas, and the poolside Hana Hou Bar and Sunset Patio which serve casual island classics like Ahi Poke, Lobster Roll and Mahi Mahi Tacos (11:00 - 17:00), as well as tropical drinks, craft beers and a good selection of wines (11:00 - sunset). Guests wishing to make use of their gourmet kitchen can instead pick up groceries (along with a host of other items) at the resort’s Mahana Market, open daily from 09:00 until 17:00.

Three pools including the iconic three-tier sunset pool, easy access to some of Hawaiʻi’s premier golf courses, and an award-winning spa providing a range of personalized, naturally-inspired treatments are amongst the other standout features at the Montage Kapalua Bay. The resort also offers a diverse arts and cultural program that includes opportunities for guests to take classes in traditional Hawaiian lei making, hula or ukulele.

So if you’re looking for a serene Maui vacation that marries authentic Hawaiian experiences with first-class contemporary comforts, the uber-luxurious Montage Kapalua Bay is sure to exceed expectations…
