Location

Kapalua is located on the northern border of Napili in northwest Maui.

Information & History

Situated on Maui’s scenic northwest coast at the foot of the verdant Kahalawai, or West Maui Mountains, Kapalua is a 1,650-acre destination resort set amidst 23,000 acres of privately owned pineapple plantation. The luxury resort and master-planned community features a rare native rainforest, a protected marine life conservation district, an ancient Hawaiian burial ground, and golf courses that double as wildlife sanctuaries.

 In the 1800’s, it was known as the Honolua Ranch and later became the Honolua Plantation when Kapalua’s acres of grassy slopes were converted to geometric patterns of silver-blue pineapple fields. Throughout the resort, historic Cook pines add a striking silhouette to hidden pathways and mountain vistas. Adorning the property are many varieties of flowers and trees, planted generations ago, ranging from breadfruit, lychee and mango to flowering ginger and ti leaf plants.
