Kāʻanapali Shores: Oceanfront Living That’s Effortless and Attainable

Not every beachfront condo in Maui requires a multi-million dollar leap. Kāʻanapali Shores offers a unique combination: oceanfront living with resort-style amenities, vacation rental potential, and a more accessible price point—all on one of West Maui’s most beloved stretches of coast.

Located just north of the iconic Kāʻanapali Beach Resort, Kāʻanapali Shores welcomes you with a casual, tropical atmosphere and everything you need right on-site—from ocean-view pools and tennis courts to a beachfront restaurant and convenient on-site management. Whether you're seeking a second home, a vacation rental investment, or just a place to unplug and unwind, this property offers flexibility, comfort, and undeniable value.

Affordable Luxury on the Oceanfront

Built in 1980, Kāʻanapali Shores spans 10 acres of oceanfront property and includes 463 units across two buildings. Most of the units are housed in the 9 story horseshoe shaped tower, with the remainder located in the smaller, 4 story building on the south side of the complex. The development features a wide mix of floorplans—from studio units to 1- and 2-bedroom condos, and even select 2-bedroom townhomes with lofted ceilings (featured on the penthouse level in the 4 story building). This variety makes the complex attractive to both vacationers and owners alike.

Residences feature private lanais, full kitchens, central A/C, and open layouts, with many units offering partial or full ocean views. Recent upgrades in select condos bring a modern feel, while hotel zoning allows for legal short-term rentals, adding strong investment appeal.
