This hotel will make you want to go to Hawaii, ASAP
Is this time of year getting you down? Well, sorry, but we’re about to make it much worse.
With a whole bunch of pictures from this stunning hotel in Hawaii!
From now up until October is the perfect time to visit Hawaii, BTW. But even if you have to wait until the end of the year, the stunning tropical island will still have warm water, even during its “Winter” season.
The Kāʻanapali Beach Hotel is Hawaiiʻs Most Hawaiian Hotel – meaning that by staying here, you’ll get the most authentic Hawaiian experience possible. Along with some other killer perks, of course.
Located on Maui Island and literal steps away from the beach, this hotel has a ton of accommodation options, 11 acres of stunning tropical gardens and world-class golfing, dining and boutique shopping all located within walking distance.
It’s an ideal place for a wedding or honeymoon, but also great for family holidays – kids up to 17 years-old stay free. Yes, really.
There’s also activities galore and jaw-dropping beachfront rooms, as well as several restaurants and pool facilities. And obviously, we’ve got photos.
There are over 400 rooms located within the hotel, all of which come with complimentary in-room Wi-Fi, air conditioning, a private balcony and a HD TV. Oh, and they don’t charge mandatory resort fees.
Kā’anapali Beach Hotel offers a ton of complimentary Hawaiian activities that are scheduled daily and designed to immerse guests in the Hawaiian culture. After all, Kā’anapali isn’t the most Hawaiian hotel in Hawaii for no reason.
Think ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi language classes, Lei making, cultural garden tours, ‘Ukulele Lessons and learning how to do the Hula. Before you know it, you’ll be Hawaiian!
What’s a vacation to a tropical island without being right by the beach? This hotel is mere steps away from the world famous Kā’anapali Beach, and if anything will make that long flight worth it, it’s this.
Imagine waking up in the morning, having a delicious, fresh breakfast, then strolling down to the beach. There are also a number of amazing ocean activities to do, like stand up paddle-boarding and snorkelling lessons. Or, you know, just laying on the sand and being hand-fed fries and cocktails.
One of the best things about Hawaii (aside from the stunning beaches) is the delicious food. At the Kā’anapali Beach Hotel, there are two restaurants, a takeaway stand and a weekly Lū‘au, where award-winning, island-born chefs prepare a feast. Some of the Hawaiian cuisine offerings include lau lau, kalua puaʻa (pork) from the huli huli pig and a fresh seafood catch daily.
Oh, and their Sunday Champagne Brunch at the Tiki Terrace restaurant has been voted the best on Maui by locals and visitors alike. Just sayin’.
And finally, when staying at Kāʻanapali Beach Hotel, you’re treated as family by the uber-friendly staff.
There’s a daily Lei Kukui ceremony, which begins with a traditional oli (chant), before kukui nut leis are presented to guests on their last day. Part of this ceremony explains why we are not saying “goodbye” but rather “a hui hou” (until we meet again), because once you are ‘ohana, our door will always be open to you.
Plus, every time you come back, a white nut gets added to your lei. We can’t wait to get our own!
