About Kaanapali Alii
For a side-by-side view of Kaanapali Alii and the island's other hotel-zoned projects, see Maui hotel-zoned condos.
The Alii sits at 50 Nohea Kai Drive on about 8 acres of oceanfront grounds. The concrete buildings were completed in 1982, with 264 condos in four buildings on up to 11 floors. Alii means Hawaiian royalty, and the name fits the size of these units, which are some of the most generous one and two bedroom layouts on the beach.
Views range from garden and West Maui Mountain views to full ocean views framed by Lanai and Molokai. There's an adult pool and a children's pool, hot tubs, tennis courts, a clubhouse next to the BBQ area, a fitness and yoga center, on site security and management, and roughly 330 assigned parking stalls, which matters in Kaanapali. The association has updated the property several times, including rooftop solar panels.
It's a short walk down the beach path to Whalers Village. The Alii also sits near the point where, on the right swell, you'll find surfing, stand up paddling and bodyboarding.

“Three Year Search Is Over”
My wife and I spent over three years searching the U.S. for the perfect property. For many reasons, we had not been successful in finding that perfect place. I first met Eric in May 2009 during a vacation and I knew, almost instantly, that he would be able to lead us to the property for which we had been searching. Eric was kind enough to spend hours driving us around the area and showing us what seemed, I am sure, an endless list of properties. During this time, I came to know that Eric’s knowledge of real estate is second to none, as is his passion for the great outdoors. Eric exhibited tremendous customer focus and patience as he worked to completely understand the type of property we were seeking. The outcome of the search and Eric’s guidance was successful. We did find and buy that perfect property and couldn’t be happier. Throughout the process, Eric exhibited the highest integrity, following through on every commitment, and taking every step necessary to ensure our total satisfaction, even when we encountered a few bumps along the way. I can, without hesitation, recommend Eric to anyone looking for that perfect property” Kenneth D. and Joyce J. Wilcox Half Moon Bay, California
