THE RESORT YOU'VE ALWAYS IMAGINED WOULD BE PERFECT FOR A FAMILY VACATION

Throw open the glass doors of your spacious lanai and breathe. Just breathe. Let each passing moment be measured by the sway of a palm tree. Let the song of the surf drift up to you. This is Honua Kai Resort & Spa. Thirty-eight acres of immaculate grounds tumbling into the warm embrace of the Pacific. Maui’s newest destination is unlike any other. Take all the best elements of the traditional Hawaii resort and warmly re-imagine them as more welcoming. More expansive. A more contemporary vision of the ideal tropical family vacation. Relax, and reconnect with the earth, the sea, and most importantly, with your family.

Honua Kai is located on Maui’s beautiful Kaanapali North Beach, just a short, scenic drive from both the Island’s airports. With championship golf courses and world-class shopping close by and a host of spectacular amenities onsite, including spas, pools, fitness centers and more, you’ll find everything you need close at hand. Whether it’s a roomy 580 square-foot ohana suite, or a palatial 2,650 square-foot, three-bedroom master suite, all the comforts of home await, not to mention a wealth of unexpected luxuries.

There is a virtually endless list of things to do in Hawaii, and many of the very best activities are found right here on Maui. Tee off on one of many signature golf courses. Land a trophy marlin. Wind surf, parasail, swim, snorkel, scuba dive, or take a surfing lesson and ride your first wave into a memory of everlasting glory. Push off in a kayak or set off to hike some of the world’s most spectacular trails. Summit Haleakala. Ride with the paniolos, Hawaii’s cowboys. Soar above it all on a zipline. Take every moment and make it count.
