About this property

Maui Resort Rentals: Honua Kai Hokulani 933 - Exceptional 9th Floor Ocean View Studio!

Newly launched in April of 2021, this incredible studio suite affords sweeping 9th-floor views of the Pacific Ocean and enjoys a commanding vantage point above the adjacent resort wings that compromise the views from floors 8 and below. Nestled in the Hokulani interior courtyard, the view plane is so expansive that guests will also enjoy views of both Lanai and Molokai. An extremely rare offering, there are only 4 such 9th-floor studios available at the entire resort!

Relax and reconnect in the ample living space fully appointed for your enjoyment. This outstanding oceanview studio suite can accommodate up to 4 guests in its comfy king-sized bed and brand-new upgraded queen sofa sleeper. As day turns into evening, relax and recharge--draw a bath in the soaking tub and invite in the last rays of the day.

The glass lanai doors fully open allowing four persons to comfortably enjoy the stunning view. This suite has a southern exposure which equates to more sun and less direct wind generating the perfect balance for tropical air conditioning. In this suite opulence and comfort are the constant, gracefully interwoven for your happiness and relaxation.

We encourage you to express your culinary creativity in the well-appointed kitchen. The space is fully equipped with stainless steel Bosch appliances and granite countertops, and we have provided every appliance & utensil to prepare the perfect meal or refreshment... just bring the ingredients. Enjoy your meals on the spacious lanai or dine indoors in the climate controlled air conditioning. In addition, our commercial grade Vitamix blender lends itself well to preparing creative libations or smoothies with fresh local produce.

Take pleasure in spending your days at the resort’s three acre aquatic playground. With four separate swimming pools, a waterslide, waterfalls, fountains, and five hot tubs there will be no shortage of options for you and your loved ones to enjoy.

When it is time for a bite to eat, Honua Kai is home to the popular Duke’s Beach House Restaurant which serves breakfast, lunch, dinner, and cocktails. Duke’s specializes in serving up Hawaiian inspired cuisine using locally sourced ingredients and freshly caught seafood. Should you wish to enjoy a refreshment by the water, poolside service is available. For coffee, sandwiches, and other grab-and-go items, including beach gear and souvenirs, visit the Whaler's General Store conveniently located in the Konea Tower lobby.

Should you feel like pampering yourself with a refreshing massage or treatment, head downstairs to the acclaimed Ho’ola Health Spa. This sanctuary within the resort weaves Hawaiian inspired themes and ingredients into its wide array of signature treatments. Revitalize your senses with a Hawaiian Lomi Lomi Massage, Pohaku Stone Treatment, or Coffee Fruit Facial, or experience the health benefits of the spa’s unique Himalayan Salt Room.

A state-of-the-art fitness center is located in the Konea Tower, perfect for guests looking to maintain their workout routine during their stay.

If you wish to avoid excessive baggage fees from the airlines, consider packing lighter and utilizing the washer and dryer in the residence. Free upgraded 300 Mbps high-speed Wi-Fi is available and included with your stay. Complimentary booster seats, high chairs, and futons are also available upon request (based on availability).

Honua Kai occupies 38 pristine beachfront acres on the shores of Kaanapali’s North Beach so you’ll literally be just steps away from the tranquility of Maui’s shoreline. Stroll out to the beach to touch your toes in the soft sand or take a refreshing dip in the Pacific. An “Ohana Play Package” including beach chairs, BBQ equipment, and a portable cooler is provided complimentary.

For added convenience, our free courtesy shuttle offers complimentary transportation between Honua Kai and several West Maui locations.

If during your stay you require assistance or advice about the surrounding area or the suite, rest assured that you’ll be swiftly taken care of with aloha by one of our friendly & knowledgeable liaisons - hand-picked from West Maui’s leading luxury hotels. Help will never be far away because our offices are ideally located directly across the street.

***Please note that Honua Kai is located in a hotel zoned area meant for tourism and is thus safe from Maui's pending short term rental ban affecting apartment zoned areas.***

Honua Kai

Absolutely wonderful stay. Spectacular view, pool service and we love eating at Duke's but didn't know their breakfasts were so good...plus a small Whaler's Village store on property. My husband had meetings but I had everything I needed here. Large foyer feels like a hotel, not a condo. Quick drive to the busier part of Kaanapali, less than 10 minutes. I'm in love...and w've been coming to Maui and Kauai for 44 years !!!!

Hokulani Tower 933

Staff and grounds were all amazing! The room is a suite, perfect for a couple. The views from the room are great and overlook one of the pools and ocean. Close to Dukes and can hear the live music from your lanai. Great having an ice chest and beach chairs in the room. Can’t complain about our experience here other than the icemaker freezing up. There is an icemaker in the parking garage so we loaded up the ice chest and we were just fine. We will definitely be back!

Great place!

Great service! Originally when we booked, we didn’t read that they would have scaffolding in front of our balcony so it was a bit upsetting when we go there. We spoke with the property manager and the service was great! We ended up with no scaffolding the last 2 days which was nice. Property was beautiful, ocean was great and the bed was super comfortable. Highly recommend!

Paradise

We didn’t want to leave! The room had everything we needed and more. We had a very small issue accessing beach towels but that wasn’t the condo managements fault. I only mention it because I wanted to let everyone know that the property management company was very responsive and fixed the problem immediately. The resort grounds were so clean and the room was immaculate when we arrived. Every morning we had breakfast on the lanai while watching whales (bring binoculars in the winter months). We didn’t want to leave! Mahalo!

Beautiful Views!

We just returned from a great vacation in Maui. We rented this top floor studio so that we could enjoy the ocean views while our little one napped (22 monts old). The rental company was able to provide us with a pack n play and a booster chair for us during our stay which was very nice to not have to worry about renting one privately. We've stayed at Honua Kai before in a different rental unit and the only thing that I would say was a downside was that this unit wasn't stocked with much in ways of say cooking oil, seasonings, or even just complimentary coffee. I didn't necessarily expect those things to be available but at least coffee (seeing as how that's usually what is provided in a hotel stay). I think other than that small over sight I think if coffee could be provided and or if the place was stocked with just a few other random amentities it might be alittle more appealing for the price. But overall we loved the stay.

Room 933 has Nice Views

Lovely complex, clean studio unit, nice little patio with ocean views, ample parking. Kitchen equipped w/ utensils/coffee mkr/skillets, salt/pepper but had no dishwashing detergent, foil, etc. Unless you want to hand wash you must buy dw detergent. They do provided mini 1oz shampoo/cond/soap so bring your own. No blankets supplied, just layered sheets. We appreciated the use of 2 beach chairs, umbrella, soft cooler & the gifted bag of local coffee. The pools are nice. Duke's food is really good & offers dine in & take out. Beach is rocky, need water shoes! Saw turtles at beach and whales from beach & our unit plus decent snorkeling just off this beach. Everything in the unit worked and was well maintained. Negative: Our friends/family renting two other units received huge welcome baskets w/ cookies, candy, lei's, champagne. Their bath was stocked w/ full size shampoo/soap, kitchen supplies & offered use of tons of cool beach gear (boogie boards, snorkle gear, pails/shovels, chairs, wagon to haul items to beach...). They were also easily accommodated in advance with late check-out (at 5pm) where our unit 933 property mgr said no (even for $$) but to call back when we arrived and ask again! When we called upon arrival as instructed they gave us until noon (2 hrs) and then they were knocking on our door at 11:45am & again AT noon. Overall, nice just lacked that vrbo welcome that others received and felt more like holiday inn.

Maui beach walks

We loved this place. The studio had everything the three of us needed. The pull out sofa bed was comfortable for our daughter. The kitchen had all the essentials and washer/ dryer was convenient to have in the studio, however the dryer was a little finicky. The location was perfect. Easy access to the beach and beach location had good snorkelling. Appreciated the beach chairs and snorkelling equipment. The pool is on the small side and busy. The lanai was great - we could watch the sunset every night 😊. Thanks for a magical trip staying at a great place.

Just say yes!

The resort is great -very clean and comfortable We loved the beach and easy access to explore this side of the island. The studio is small but my girls and I are on the petite side and get along well so it was perfect for us. We were out most of day and I loved my morning coffee and post sunset on the balcony. (Sunset is great on balcony but the beach view is the best!) Great views all around! The bed and sleeper sofa was comfortable and appreciated the chairs and umbrella -we used them often! Dukes restaurant is very busy but reservations are not needed for breakfast and lunch. You can be added to dinner waitlist -otherwise schedule reservations in advance -incl all other things you’d like to do. The concierge was fabulous in getting us a last minute reservation for the zip line but if you come during peak season it is tough to get in anywhere last minute. We stayed here for our first week (staying two) and it was perfect for us. We also loved the old Lahaina Lu’au (I booked that months ago!). There is also a Safeway close by (4 miles) or and general store on site. There is salt pepper and oil in condo and I appreciate d the coffee! Hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
