About Kapalua Bay Villas
The Kapalua Resort community is located in this region of Maui, which the ancient Hawaiians called "Honokahua." In all of the Kapalua Resorts, the Kapalua Bay Villas were the very first high-end vacation condos to be built. They are among the most immaculate and lavish villas in West Maui, consisting of 141 condominiums located directly between (and a very short walk) to Kapalua Bay and Oneloa Bay (aka Ironwoods Beach). The Bay Villas literally have some of the best breathtaking Pacific Ocean vistas in all of West Maui, as well as front-facing views of the islands of Molokai and Lanai. Private lanais are included in each property, which range in size from 1,100 to 2,000 square feet. Read More
You will find these Maui luxury oceanfront condos for sale provide the absolute best of both worlds in resort life among all Kapalua Bay Villas property listings. The majority of the units provide HUGE panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean along with fiery sunsets and perfect window framed views of the magnificent neighboring islands of Lanai and Molokai. These master planned resort villas have easy access to BOTH Kapalua Bay and Oneloa Bay's stunning white sandy beach known as Ironwoods. This makes for easy access for taking a long walk on the beach, surfing some of the best waves on the West side or maybe a revitalizing swim or snorkel in Kapalua Bay. The title of "The Best Beach of 2018" still applies to Kapalua Bay. On Kapalua Bay, everything from wedding celebrations to snorkeling takes place. For memorable events and other water activities, the crystal-clear turquoise seas provide a stunning background. Oneloa Bay on the other hand (and side), is also known as "Ironwoods" by locals. It is the next lengthy stretch of white sandy beach to the north of Kapalua Bay. Without the usual throngs, you will almost always find a handful of local surfers dropping in waves and a few sunbathers that are in the knowenjoying the beach there.
Kapalua Bay owners and guests frequently have the great experience of seeing whales breach and at play right outside their back lanai door. These villas are located in one of Maui's most upscale hotel resort zones (sandwiched between The Montage and The Ritz-Carlton), and are in high demand due to their combination of low density, solitude and quick access to many diverse outdoor activities.
In the past, much of Kapalua was made up of pineapple plantations and natural preserves. There are now condominiums, houses, hotels, golf courses, restaurants, and beaches with boardwalks. The Kapalua Bay Villas are just called The Bay Villas by locals and along with the Ridge Villas, and Golf Villas make up the other two members of the Kapalua Vacation Condo Resort family.
These beautiful and very well maintained condos are complemented by tropical gardens that are well-kept to accentuate the Hawaiiana vibe throughout the villa grounds. In addition, the Kapalua resort offers plenty of recreational extras including two 18-hole championship golf courses (The Bay Course and The Plantation Course), 23 lit tennis courts, swimming pools, a number of award winning restaurants (Sansei, Cane & Canoe, Merrimans, Travasa), and a stunning promenade lined with shops and art galleries. Families, kids and couples alike will love Kapalua Bay Villas. Use it as your primary hale (Hawaiian word for home) or buy it as a second home that is zoned for legal vacation rentals when you are not using it.
