Kapalua Ridge Villas: Elevated Living in Maui’s Premier Resort Community

Perched above the Pacific Ocean within the iconic Kapalua Resort, Kapalua Ridge Villas delivers a wonderful balance of privacy, space, and elevated island living. For those seeking a second home in West Maui that combines world-class amenities with relaxed sophistication, this exclusive enclave offers an ideal retreat.

This is luxury defined not by excess, but by experience. The ocean unfolds before you, trade winds drift softly through the palms, and your mornings begin with the songs of native birds echoing across the ridgeline. It’s a lifestyle shaped by nature’s rhythm—elevated, effortless, and unmistakably Maui.

 The Luxury of Space and Views

Unlike many resort condominiums in West Maui, Kapalua Ridge Villas are known for their generous floor plans, ranging from 1,125 to 2,415 square feet. Spanning 28 buildings, featuring 5 to 6 units per, many units feature vaulted ceilings, split-level layouts, and expansive lanais, making these residences feel more like private homes than condos. An added bonus at the Ridge is that every unit features a dedicated carport and owner storage.

Almost every unit offers panoramic ocean views—stretching from Moloka‘i up the coast—as well some with fantastic Bay Course views. Whether you’re sipping coffee at sunrise or watching whales breach at sunset, your lanai becomes a front-row seat to Maui’s natural beauty.

 What Makes Kapalua Ridge Villas Special?

• Elevated Setting with Cooling Breezes
  Positioned above the coastline, these villas enjoy cooler temperatures, privacy, and expansive views without being far from the beach.

• Resort-Style Living, Without the Crowds
  Residents enjoy full access to the Kapalua Resort’s world-class golf, dining, spa, and recreation, while enjoying a quieter, residential feel.

• Short-Term Rental Approved
  With apartment zoning in place, owners may currently choose to generate income when not in residence. Many units are actively used as luxury vacation rentals. *Maui County Council is currently considering a bill to eliminate short term rentals on "Minatoya List" in Apartment zoning* 

• Walkability and Coastal Access
  The Kapalua Coastal Trail, beaches like Oneloa Bay, Kapalua Bay, Napili Bay, and restaurants such as Merriman’s and Cane and Canoe are just a stroll away.

 Is Kapalua Ridge Right for You?

If you're searching for a Kapalua property that offers a little more breathing room—both inside and out—Kapalua Ridge Villas delivers. These generously sized one- and two-bedroom floorplans live like single-family homes, with wide lanais and floor-to-ceiling windows framing iconic views of the ocean, Moloka‘i, and West Maui's lush coastline.

This community sits within the Kapalua Resort but feels pleasantly removed—ideal for those seeking peace, privacy, and a connection to nature. Zoning allows for short-term vacation rentals*, giving owners the flexibility to offset costs or generate income when not in residence. Units range from beautifully updated to ready for your own design vision, making it a versatile option for a range of buyers.
