Intimacy and calm in a natural, unspoiled environment await you at the Kapalua Bay, a Renaissance Resort ...

... where white sand beaches curve between lava outcroppings embracing the sea.

Welcoming you to paradise, the Kapalua Bay, a Renaissance Resort sits at the heart of a magnificent resort. In this idyllic spot the mountains slope gently to the sea past orderly rows of pineapple and the emerald green of golf courses.

Kapalua Bay, a Renaissance Resort is the jewel in the crown of the Kapalua resort, a privately owned paradise nestled between the sapphire reaches of the Pacific and the emerald mountains of West Maui--1500 acres of rural gentility.

Warm, attentive service awaits you at every turn. You live for today in an island ambience of tropical grounds, subtle hardwood and rattan, and all the spaciousness and luxury a resort can offer.

The garden comes indoors everywhere. Palms sway and peek inside as you dine. The azure of the ocean refuses to be ignored, while the islands just beyond your reach ask that you pay attention to their glory.

Molokai and Lanai can be seen across the brilliant blue water from any of the three ocean bays of Kapalua. This destination resort offers the ultimate in privacy and luxury, enhancing the natural beauty of the islands with harmonious landscaping and architecture artfully tucked into its surroundings.

When your every need is taken care of, there is time to ponder and explore the endless possibilities. There is time to watch the islands on the horizon change color as the sun dips into the sea at the end of each day.

Hospitality, the truest kind, never asks for anything in return. It's offered simply, and with an open heart, to traveler and friends ... to travelers who become friends. It is the true spirit of the islands.
