Royal Lahaina Resort
Hotel Information: Built in the 1960s amid 27-acres of tropical gardens facing Kaanapali beach, the casual Royal Lahaina honors the past with a tiki-style Hawaiian ambience of wicker, rattan, a canoe on display, Polynesian (pitched) rooflines, and a Don the Beachcomber bar. Celebrating couples, golfers, families, and other leisure travelers come here for privacy and service combined with proximity to a prime beach and the amenities of the Kaanapali Resort.
Amenity highlights: A nightly waterfront luau with Hawaiian entertainment draws visitors from all over Maui. The 27-acre resort has two medium-sized pools, facing the ocean. The Royal Lahaina’s 11-court tennis ranch (surcharge) includes a 3,500-seat stadium. Beautiful Kaanapali Beach, which borders the resort, is ideal for snorkeling, swimming, kayaking, parasailing, or simply lazing on the golden sands.
Insider tip: A favorite destination for weddings, the Royal Lahaina invites couples to sign concrete tiles, which it then places on footpaths near the luau grounds.
