Many of you visiting this site are already familiar with West Maui and have stayed with us at The Whaler on Kaanapali Beach for decades. We aim to provide information on what's open, what's new and the vendors/activities/restaurants we recommend so your return to Maui is as enjoyable as possible.
Give us a call and we can book it all for you.
As West Maui approaches the 2nd anniversary of the August 8 wildfire that claimed much of Lahaina Town and our famous Front Street, it would be unfair for us to "sugar-coat" the reality of West Maui as it exists today.
The acute housing shortage that has plagued Maui for generations dominates headlines worldwide. THE WHALER ON KAANAPALI BEACH IS HOTEL-ZONED and operates as a legal vacation rental property.
There is no doubt that Lahaina, in whatever form it takes, will never be the same. But there is hope as homes are rebuilt and businesses reopen.
You need to know: Maui DOES need you to visit.
Tourism is the lifeblood of our island.
Our company, and those in our industry, we need you.
Visit Maui
The Maui Vacation Company Ohana (family) is dedicated to maintaining up-to-date information about the reopening and businesses that continue to operate. We know how logistics and offerings have changed.
Let us plan your trip to make the most of what Maui has to offer.
THE WHALER ON KAANAPALI BEACH IS HOTEL-ZONED and operates as a legal vacation rental property.
The Whaler on Kaanapali Beach is one of the most popular beachfront condominium resorts in West Maui. Families return year after year to stay with us at their Maui home away from home. The value of staying in a condominium versus a cramped hotel room is easy to see. Watch whales while enjoying your morning coffee, cook breakfast in your fully stocked kitchen, and take the chairs from the closet and head to the beach. Shop at Whalers Village, play a round of golf, eat at an oceanfront restaurant and stroll back to watch the sunset on your private lanai. The Whaler is your home base for enjoying the best Kaanapali Resort has to offer.
Spending the day around the pool is a relaxing break from the buzz you'll experience at other resorts. Minus a swim-up bar, waterslide, etc., the Whaler pool is a place families visit with each other, smaller kids learn to swim while older kids pass time between the pool deck and Kaanapali Beach. Cookout at the barbeques or board a sunset sail. It all happens within the tropical oasis that is The Whaler on Kaanapali Beach.
