Our Kahana vacation rentals provide you with everything you need for a perfect Hawaii vacation in one of the most desired visitor destinations. Kahana is located between the posh resort areas of Kaanapali and Kapalua.This region offers exceptional dining, meticulously-groomed golf courses and pristine beaches. Set in the picturesque setting of northwest Maui, the Kahana coastline also provides great views of Molokai and Lanai across the ocean channel.
Things To Do
Kahana Beach offers some excellent snorkeling when the ocean conditions are calm, with an offshore reef that provides some protection. Just to the north is Honokeana Bay which has interesting tidepools to explore as well as nice snorkeling and swimming.
A very scenic area near Kahana is
Napili Bay which is a lovely wide and sandy crescent. Typically the gentle shorebreak waves here are fun for bodyboarding.This is also a nice snorkeling beach where Hawaiian green sea turtles are often seen along with myriad colorful fish dodging and darting among the coral reef. Keep an eye out for humpback whales passing by offshore during the winter months.
You can also drive down to the resort areas of Kaanapali and Kapalua where lots of activities are available from snorkeling and scuba diving to sunset sails as well as championship golf courses. The Kaanapali Beachwalk is a two-mile-long boardwalk fronting the beach and and the elegant resort hotels, and a great place for an evening stroll.
Eat and Shop
At the Kahana Gateway Shopping Center try the Hawaiian Fusion Cuisine at Roy's Kahana Bar & Grill where impeccably trained servers deliver innovative cuisine to delight your palate. Roy's takes prides in offering the finest, fresh-grilled Hawaii seafood and with creative combinations of local produce.
Kahana is also not far from all the interesting shops and fine dining in the resort areas of
Kaanapali and
Kapalua as well as the historic attractions, stores, restaurants and vibrant night life of Old
Lahaina town.
Getting Around
A rental car is recommended when staying in Kahana vacation rentals so you can explore the great beaches of West Maui as well as the island's many attractions from the summit crater of
Haleakala volcano to lush and verdant
Hana town.
