A Businessclass Verified Hotel
The Ritz-Carlton Kapalua stands as a beacon of luxury hospitality in West Maui, seamlessly blending five-star amenities with authentic Hawaiian heritage. Sprawled across 54 lush acres, the resort preserves the revered Honokahua Preservation Site—a sacred wahi pana where local Hawaiian communities continue to honor traditional ceremonies. With 466 elegantly appointed guest rooms and suites, including a coveted Club Level, accommodations showcase contemporary island-inspired interiors, rich hardwood flooring, and opulent marble bathrooms. The recent renovations have elevated each space, with room sizes ranging from 84 to 238 square meters, offering panoramic vistas of the Pacific, verdant golf courses, or the majestic West Maui Mountains. Plush Ritz-Carlton signature bedding ensures restful nights, and expansive lanais—one or two per room—invite guests to savor Maui’s golden sunsets. The Royal Pacific Suite sets the standard for indulgence, boasting two king bedrooms, a full-length furnished lanai, dual marble bathrooms with deep soaking tubs and rain showers, a gourmet kitchen, and distinct dining and living areas for ultimate privacy.
Culinary options are diverse and exceptional, with six on-site restaurants. The Alaloa Lounge is renowned for its elevated bar fare and innovative cocktails in an elegant open-air setting, while Banyan Tree—The Ritz-Carlton’s signature restaurant—celebrates the bounty of Hawaii with locally sourced seafood and farm-to-table produce, all presented in a chic indoor-outdoor atmosphere. Four additional al fresco dining venues and bars provide a wealth of choices for every palate. Golf enthusiasts can tee off on two championship 18-hole courses, renowned for hosting PGA events and offering sweeping ocean views. The pristine Kapalua Bay invites guests to enjoy water sports from paddleboarding and snorkeling to seasonal whale watching. The Ritz-Carlton Spa, recently refreshed, delivers a tranquil haven with therapies inspired by Hawaiian healing traditions. The resort’s iconic three-tiered pool, surrounded by private cabanas, is perfect for unwinding, while younger guests delight in the family-friendly keiki pool and daily cultural activities.
