Ground-Floor Oceanfront Suite and Wraparound Lanai at Honua Kai

E komo mai (welcome) to Kai Hele Ku ("The Quickest Way to the Ocean"), where the warm embrace of Maui's kai (sea) and the golden glow of Kaanapali Beach create a magical backdrop for your dream Hawaiian escape. This luxurious 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom retreat at Honua Kai Resort is more than just a place to stay—it's a portal to unforgettable moments, where every sunrise and sunset becomes a treasured memory. With ocean views that steal your breath and amenities that pamper your soul, Kai Hele Ku invites you to slow down, reconnect, and let the aloha spirit carry you away.

Key Features:

Grand Master Bedroom – A Haven of Serenity
• Rest in a king bed so plush it feels like a gentle hug from the island itself. Wake to the shimmering Pacific stretching endlessly before you, a daily reminder of Maui's awe-inspiring beauty.
• Melt your cares away in the en-suite bathroom, where a soaking tub and walk-in rain shower offer a spa-like retreat. The double vanity provides the perfect space to pamper yourself after a day exploring the island.
• Step onto your private lanai, where the makani (breeze) whispers stories of the ocean and the horizon dances with light.

Master Bedroom – Tranquility Perfected
• This elegant suite features a king bed framed by island-inspired touches, making it a sanctuary for relaxation.
• The en-suite bathroom is a personal spa, complete with a soaking tub, walk-in shower, and double sinks that echo mālama (care) and harmony.

Third Bedroom – Flexibility Meets Comfort
• Tailored for ʻohana (family) or friends, this room features a king bed that can easily convert to two twin moena (beds), adapting to your needs with ease.
• A nearby bathroom with a walk-in shower ensures everyone has the privacy and comfort they deserve.

Property Features – Every Detail, Every Luxury
• Ground-Floor Location: Step from your private lanai directly onto lush resort grounds or take a leisurely path to the beach, where the nalu (waves) await your footprints.
• Oceanview Lanai: Sip morning coffee as the sun paints the sky, dine under Maui's starry hōkū (night), or simply sit in awe of the Pacific's infinite beauty.
• In-Suite Laundry: Travel light, knowing a washer and dryer are here to keep everything fresh and convenient.
• Beach Gear Included: Adventure is effortless with chairs, an umbrella, and a cooler ready for your days by the kai (sea).
• High-End Appliances: Whether crafting a tropical breakfast or a feast for the sunset, the fully equipped kitchen lets you channel your inner chef.
• Island-Inspired Luxury: Every detail, from the vibrant décor to the serene color palette, immerses you in the beauty of aloha.

Resort Amenities – A World of Wonder Awaits

Pools & Hot Tubs – Splash, Relax, Repeat
• Dive into a world of water bliss with three pools designed for every mood. Laugh with the keiki (children) as they slide into joy, float peacefully in the lagoon pool, or unwind in the warm embrace of one of five hot tubs under the glittering hōkū (stars).

Ho'olei Spa – A Sanctuary for the Soul
• Surrender to the magic of Hawaiian lomi lomi massage or a rejuvenating facial infused with the healing mana (energy) of the islands. Leave glowing, renewed, and connected to the rhythm of paradise.

Duke's Beach House – Iconic Island Dining
• Savor every bite at Duke's, where fresh island ingredients meet aloha on a plate. Watch the sun dip into the horizon as you toast to another perfect day with a mai tai in hand.

Beachfront Access – Your Playground Awaits
• Stroll down to the golden sands of Kaanapali Beach, where you can swim in turquoise waters, snorkel among honu (sea turtles), or simply sink your toes into the warm embrace of the sand.

Kaanapali Boardwalk – A Path to Paradise
• Just steps from your door, the boardwalk offers endless opportunities for exploration, from vibrant shops to tranquil sunset strolls that will etch themselves into your heart.

Your Hawaiian Escape Awaits
Kai Hele Ku isn't just a suite—it's a story waiting to be written. Here, the rhythm of the ocean, the warmth of the sun, and the gentle touch of the island breeze create moments of ʻike (deep connection) and joy. From luxurious accommodations to breathtaking views, from the first light of dawn to the final glow of sunset, this is where memories are made, love is celebrated, and aloha is lived.

Well managed property steps from the ocean

I love a well managed vrbo! We had a seamless and very relaxing stay. Fresh free towels whenever we wanted at little kiosks open 24/7. The outside patio is nearly completely private because it’s next to a path that is barely taken and there are bushes in-between. This unit is the 2nd closest to the ocean, which is actually the best location (the other is by a busy path and noisy pool are). I counted 4 hot tubs on property, might have been more. The snorkeling a little further down (5 min walk) by the Westin is imo the best on the island. You can continuously swim and snorkel for over an hr and see coral and many varietals of fish. The house is well stocked with pots, pans, spices, olive oil, dishwashing fluid, laundry detergent, soaps, and shampoo/conditioner. Only one small issue and without exaggeration from phone call in the evening to someone showing up with a toolbelt was under 15 min. There’s even a damage waiver policy that covers any damage up to 3,000. We’ll def be coming back.

Beautiful Villa & Location

The villa is so spacious and beautiful and the location is wonderful. Steps to the ocean and you can walk to the grocery store, food trucks and several restaurants. Pools are great too. House amenities are plentiful to include beach chairs and umbrella. Our family of 8 adults had plenty of room.

Amazing experience

We had a wonderful stay! The condo was beautiful, the view was incredible, and you can't be at walking out of your room straight down to the beach. The host was very quick with communication and checking if we ran into any issues. Couldn't have asked for a better experience!

Absolutely perfect stay

Our group of 3 adults and 3 children loved our stay in this apartment. The location is absolutely stunning, as is the space itself. The ground floor was perfect for our 1.5 year olds - and a wonderful compromise, with a spectacular view, easy accessibility, and no hassle of a balcony. The underground parking onsite made it easy to take day trips to other parts of the island. We could have spent all our time at Honua Kai though! The pools, beach, dining were all outstanding.

Beautiful location and property

Had a wonderful stay at this condo. Very comfortable for our family of 4 and 4 grandparents. Can’t beat location and amenities at Honua Kai! Had some trouble with entry codes and didn't have a pool towel code for first 5 days, however was able to just ask attendant for towels when they were restocking.

First time in Maui

Upon arrival, we opened the sofa bed and found the sheets full of sand. We called property management and were told there were extra sheets in the closet and to use those. We also discovered that the internet was not working. A cable was placed the next day. Had to kill quite a few roaches.

Maui Vacation

Property was as described. Great location, very short walk to the beach, easy access from parking lot or garage to condo. Rooms were more than accommodating for our group. Very short walking distance to food truck park, local grocery store that had more than enough, and other resorts for food or drink. Location was ideal for our need and would highly recommend. We loved our stay and would definitely consider staying again.

A Lovely Week in Paradise

Very nice condo, steps from the beach. We could run out there to catch the sunset. I loved the ground floor lanai too. There were lizards during the day, toads at night and huge snails when it rained. The kids loved it!

Xmas in Hawaii

Spent 15 days on property - which our family thoroughly enjoyed. Super close to the beach (as advertised) and a great overall resort with a lot of good family friendly activities, specifically the pool. The unit itself has a handful of small current issues which we reported that if fixed will make it tip top, namely a stove where no buttons are visible to operate and a broken lanai cover in the main room that prevented us from opening the unit to the outside. With those said,the property manager was responsive to these issues during our stay and I bet they will be fixed asap.

Amazing, & easiest steps to the beach

This place was everything as advertised. I am always examining properties to see where we can stay for our next trip, & if we return to Maui, this condo is literally the best one! We used the patio door to walk in & out more than the main door. Grills were just around the corner. Such a quiet spot only right around the corner from the resort life & steps to two great restaurants, one at Duke’s & the other at the Westin next door. Our oldest son whited playing the ukelele that was in the room. The room was stocked with spices, dish & laundry detergent, trash bags, & even some condiments in the fridge. Those items really stood out to me compared to other places we’ve stayed. I tried to find last minute activities/tours that were close to the resort, but most near things were sold out, however tours that were about 40 minutes/ 1hour away were aplenty. Next time, I’ll get my tours booked sooner. Also, Duke’s restaurant on property said they are booked out weeks in advance, but welcome walkins. So we would go put our name on the list a good while (1.5 hr) before we wanted to eat dinner & they always accommodated us. Lovely stay!

It was so nice to be able to walk out the unit in the back and be able to walk to the beach and along the boardwalk, and the views were fantastic from the patio.

Amazing location, Beautiful condo, great management

We’ve stayed at Honua Kai a few times but this is without a doubt one of the best located units and nicest units. In particular, it’s on ground level with grass right off the Lanai and a private path to the common grass and beach beyond, nice quiet views of the water, and it’s in sun all day and has sunset views. There is no better location. The condo was very nicely appointed - high end but not tacky, came with boogie boards, beach chairs and snorkel gear but not cluttered etc. Clean, in good condition, and very comfortable. Also, we made our reservation before COVID and Barry, Stephen and the team were very fair about COVID accommodations and rebooking. They took care of a couple minor issues in the condo really quickly and we’re communicative, responsive and courteous. You won’t do better in Maui!
