With the green slopes of the West Maui Forest Reserve as a backdrop, the Island's western section seems nearly an Island in itself. From the bustling beach town of Lahaina to the championship golf courses and gracious resorts of Ka'anapali and Kapalua, west Maui offers fantastic vistas, lovely beaches and superb dining, exciting activities, museums and shopping.
Ka'anapali
Ka'anapali was once a playground for Hawaiian royalty. Today, the playground is known for its championship golf and beautiful white sand beaches, which are great for swimming, snorkeling and sunbathing. If you've had enough sun, head indoors for some shade and shopping. The cool, air-conditioned stores at Whalers Village are a refreshing change. You'll find a fine selection of quality fashions, restaurants, jewelry, art and whaling museum.
Whalers Village
Whalers Village is home to a varitey of local stores, designer boutiques, art galleries, restaurants and a fascinating whaling museum. Located near the middle of Ka'anapali Beachwalk, you'll enjoy the experience of shopping and dining next to the seashore.
Napili
Located along the coast between Kapalua and Ka'anapali, the area is home to several moderately priced condominium complexes and hotels. A variety of nearby shops and restaurants make this a great area of your Maui vacation.
