7 Reasons to Stay at Montage Kapalua Bay Resort

Located steps from the ocean, the 24-acre Montage Kapalua Bay Resort is the perfect place for a family vacation on Maui. Here is why I love to stay at Montage Kapalua Bay Resort and think you will too.

Prime Kapalua Bay Beach Location

The resort overlooks sparkling Kapalua Bay, and the Montage Kapalua Bay Crew excels at providing resort guests with all of the essentials for a fabulous day at one of America’s best beaches. Lounge chairs, towels, ice water and complimentary snorkel gear – it’s all there for you at Kapalua Beach. If you feel like some more action, rent an SUP and explore the turquoise waters.

Experienced boogie boarders & surfers may want to visit nearby D.T. Fleming Beach Park for bigger waves. For a different type of adventure, you can ahike along the water or into the hills above Kapalua Resort.

Spacious Luxury Accommodation

Montage Kapalua Bay provides guests with  five-star resort services and amenities with the space offered by a private villa. Luxury accommodation ranges from 1250 square foot one-bedroom residences to an over 4000 square foot four-bedroom Grand Residence.

Montage Kapalua Bay Resort Paintbox 

If you travel as a family, an excellent onsite childcare program like Montage Kapalua Bay Paintbox can enhance the vacation for everyone. While the kids meet new friends, play, and explore, adults can go to the gym, spa or enjoy some quiet time.

Montage Kapalua Bay Paintbox is designed for children 5-12 years old, offers supervised arts and crafts, outdoor activities, and lunch, as well as special dinner and movie nights.

Fabulous Pools

Multiple pools, abundant lounge chairs, private cabanas, and attentive service make for an unforgettable day poolside at Montage Kapalua Bay. Splash around in the family pool complete with waterfalls, chill by the serene adults-only pool, or lounge close to the ocean at the Beach Club pool.

Dining at Cane & Canoe

Cane & Canoe restaurant overlooking Kapalua Bay is the signature restaurant at Montage Kapalua Bay Resort. The open-air restaurant resembles a traditional Hawaiian canoe house where locals and visitors gather for breakfast and meet for cocktails and dinner in the evening. The creative menu features locally sourced ingredients and many irresistible items. Don’t miss the freshly prepared malasadas with lavender and lilikoi butter on the breakfast menu.

Ohana Vibe

Ohana means family in Hawaiian, and after only a short time at Montage Kapalua Bay, I felt like we were visiting the home of a close friend or family member. The little touches make the biggest impact and the care exhibited by many of the staff at Montage Kapalua Bay left a lasting impression. our housekeeper delivered a special homemade dessert for the family and then returned on the day of our departure with fresh leis for all of us. I was so touched by this unexpected generosity.
