The Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua

Hotel class:

Hotel overview

• Set amid 50 verdant acres of tree-covered hillsides sloping down to the sparkling Pacific Ocean near Maui's northwest tip, The Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua is a luxurious resort graced by a secluded beach and breathtaking views of the ocean and the island of Molokai.
• Extra-large guestrooms reflect the hotel's impeccable, restrained taste. Scented by a bowl of potpourri, the rooms offer the comfort and convenience of ultra-thick mattresses, marble baths, CD players, and view balconies.
• Terraced into the hillside, three swimming pools connected by waterfalls and surrounded by padded lounge chairs offer alternatives to the beach. Golf cart shuttle service or a downhill, 4-minute stroll take guests to a shady, beachfront coconut grove and a deep, covelike beach.

Expect understated luxury, a gracious staff, and exceptional food and drink. The hotel's tropical plantation-style architecture, decor, and pace attract an international clientele for whom relaxation, not business, is the rule.

Property amenities

This 548-room resort fits beautifully into its 50-acre former-pineapple plantation setting. That history is honored in the hotel's grand plantation-house design, complete with peaked roofs on many levels and blue-green wrought-iron balcony railings against pale stucco walls. The small, European-style lobby introduces the resort's homey style, which extends to the public rooms' soft-colored furniture and original Hawaiian motif paintings. Though many activities are offered, guests are not pressed to participate but left alone to enjoy the resort's hospitality as they wish.

The Ritz Kids Program provides a variety of daily activities for children ages 5–12, and 3- and 4-year-olds are accepted if accompanied by an adult. The program alternates nature exploration, athletics, water-based fun, island adventures, beach activities, Hawaiian games and entertainment, and arts and crafts. Half-day, full-day, and night programs are available.

Recreation

The Ritz-Carlton provides its own 9-hole putting course and three award-winning, championship 18-hole courses that make Kapalua an international golfing destination. Nestled between the verdant West Maui Mountains and the blue Pacific, the three courses provide spectacular views. In addition, the Kapalua Golf Academy is located in the area. Also, situated between the hotel and the sea is the nearby Kapalua Village Tennis Center.

The resort has its own professional croquet lawn. It provides a map to some 7 miles of walking/jogging trails. Baby joggers are available for rent at a beach-activity center. Mountain bikes, boogie boards, snorkel sets, and scuba gear are also available for rent there, and scuba-diving lessons and excursions can be booked as well as kayaking/snorkeling tours.
