The Whaler is situated in the prestigious Kaanapali Resort on Maui. Enjoy luxury condominium living on the award winning 3-mile (4.8-km) long Kaanapali Beach with high-end shopping and dining just a few steps away. The location is undeniably in one of the most desirable settings on the Valley Isle. This beachfront condominium is comprised of two towers lining the south and north flank of the property, each with 180 elegantly appointed units. These privately owned units range from spacious studios to one- and two-bedroom suites ranging from 640 square feet to nearly 2000 square feet (59 to 185 square meters). Nestled in between, a manicured interior courtyard invites you to take a leisurely stroll leading down to the beach. Meander through a haven of tropical plants and pause to admire the vibrant colors of the fish in the serene fishpond. On the nature-inspired bridge, stop for a photo opportunity with the cobalt blue Pacific Ocean as the perfect backdrop. The sound of the small, three-tier waterfall puts you at ease reassuring you that this place truly is paradise.

Grocery stores where you can stock up on island fresh produce and more, are located just a few minutes drive from the resort. Barbecues are available for your use at each tower bordering the beach.
