The Ritz Carlton, Kapalua is a luxury upscale hotel situated in northern West Maui. Nestled onto 54 stunning acres, the Ritz-Carlton maintains the Honokua Preservation Site, a “wahi pana” or sacred site adjacent to the resort where native Hawaiians gather to conduct ceremonies and protocol. There are 466 rooms and suites and Club Level accommodation featuring dark wood floors, full marble bathrooms, modern island décor and chic designs. Recently redesigned rooms range in size from 84 square-metres to 238 square metres and come with a stunning oceanfront, golf course, mountain and resort views. All rooms enjoy new, plush Ritz-Carlton signature mattresses and have one or two spacious furnished lanais. The lavish Royal Pacific Suite comes complete with two king bedrooms, a lanai spanning the entire length of the suite, two full marbled bathrooms with oversized soaking tub and separate shower in each, and a fully-equipped kitchen and separate dining/living areas.

Dining comes from six distinctive restaurants, including Alaloa Lounge providing light dining and dinner in one of the best lobby lounges on the island. The signature restaurant Banyan Tree delivers a delicious bounty of the sea and roots of the land with delightful indoor and outdoor seating. With four other relaxed alfresco restaurants and bars, guests have an abundance of choices. Golfers can enjoy the challenge of two spectacular 18-hole championship courses, beachgoers can indulge in a variety of activities, including surfing, jet-skiing and seasonal whale-watching, and The Ritz-Carlton Spa offers a wide range of treatments in a beautifully tranquil setting.
