Maui has long been seen as one of the most desirable vacation spots in the world - the luxury lifestyle magazine Conde Nast has placed it among its 25 best islands in the world over a dozen times, and most recently, put it at #1.
Maui's Kaanapali Beach is a splendid vacation spot that has remained pristine and natural despite being host to many vacationers over the past several decades.
Our own Royal Lahaina Resort on Kaanapali Beach is a prime family vacation resort that has the distinction of occupying a prime beach-front location with the best access to the ocean, nearby diving sites and local businesses, as well as offering oceanfront cottage rentals (a particular appeal to family vacationers), and great views from oceanfront rooms at our hotel tower.
Why You'll Love Visiting Kaanapali Beach Kaanapali Beach was the first ever spot in Hawaii that was selected to host vacation resorts.
Royal Lahaina Resort was one of the first to stake a claim, being established in 1962.
In historic times, the beach was the favorite spot of royals to relax and enjoy with families.
More recently, due to the fact that Maui instituted strict zoning regulations acting as a rein on development, Kaanapali Beach has managed to play host to myriads of visitors while maintaining its natural appeal far away from the effects of urbanization and tough-on-nature developments; this is especially true of the northern half of the Beach, where our Resort is located.
If this is your first visit to Hawaii, Royal Lahaina Resort is an ideal introductory spot with ocean access, authentic food and natural beauty served in a single package.
A Perfect Family Destination The golden sand that lines the entire beach and the lush garden grounds of Royal Lahaina Resort are a fun and safe playing field for your kids.
The less crowded environment of Royal Lahaina is relaxing and quiet, with the bustle of Lahaina Town close enough to walk to but too far to intrude on your rest.
The water at Kaanapali Beach is incredible.
The entire beach meets the ocean at a very low pitch, providing a wide area of shallow water for safe wading and swimming.
For anyone looking for deeper water, nearby "Black Rock" is a volcanic outcropping where you will find great diving and snorkeling spots; the Rock has great cultural significance, since it was a common ceremonial spot for ancient Hawaiians.
Water depth around Black Rock starts between 8 - 25 feet, with a variety of beautiful ocean creatures such as tropical fishes, corals, mollusks, crustaceans and the famous Hawaiian sea turtles all making an appearance.
These are only some of the reasons why Royal Lahaina is the best Maui resort on Kaanapali Beach for vacationing alone, with your significant other or with your whole family.
