Why you'd want to live in Kaanapali

With three miles of white sand and crystal clear water, it’s no wonder why Ka?anapali Beach was once named America’s Best Beach. Fronting Ka?anapali’s hotels and resorts, this former retreat for the royalty of Maui is now a popular getaway for the world. Ka?anapali was Hawai?i’s first planned resort and has become a model for resorts around the globe. Five hotels and six condominium villages face this renowned beach. Also fronting Ka?anapali is the open air Whalers Village, a world-class shopping complex that features a variety of exceptional shops and restaurants, a renowned whaling museum and free Hawaiian entertainment. Ka?anapali also has two championship golf courses, the Royal Ka?anapali and the Ka?anapali Kai, where you may even see a breaching whale as you try to line up a shot. One of Ka?anapali Beach’s most famous attractions is the daily cliff diving ceremony off the beach’s northernmost cliffs known as Pu?u Keka?a, or Black Rock. Held every evening at sunset, a cliff diver lights the torches along the cliff, diving off Black Rock in a reenactment of a feat by Maui’s revered King Kahekili.
