The Mahana at Kāʻanapali: Endless Ocean Views, Steps to the Sand

There are oceanfront condos, and then there’s The Mahana—where every single residence offers a direct, unobstructed view of the Pacific. No garden glimpses. No angled peeks. Just floor-to-ceiling glass framing panoramic vistas of Molokaʻi, Lanaʻi, and the glittering horizon.

Perched at the quieter north end of Kāʻanapali, The Mahana offers a more peaceful, residential take on West Maui living. It’s low-key, private, and effortlessly luxurious, with spacious interiors, strong vacation rental appeal, and all the comforts of a modern resort—without the buzz of a crowded hotel.

Oceanfront, Uncompromised

Built in 1975, The Mahana was ahead of its time—and remains one of the few West Maui properties where every single unit faces the ocean. With 216 units spread between two 12-story towers, it offers studio (456 sqft), one bedroom (820 sqft), and two bedroom (1,214 sqft) floorplans, all with private lanais, full kitchens, and stunning views. 

The design is clean, functional, and designed to keep your attention where it belongs—on the view. Whether you're enjoying your morning coffee on the lanai at sunrise or watching humpback whales breach in the winter months, this is true front-row living.

A Quiet Luxury That Speaks for Itself

While neighboring resorts hustle to impress with oversized lobbies and poolside DJs, The Mahana leans into its calm, coastal rhythm. It’s not flashy—it’s intentional. Owners and guests return year after year for the same reasons: space, serenity, and sunsets you can’t quite believe are real.

With only 216 units and a design that favors privacy, The Mahana delivers a sense of peace that’s hard to find elsewhere in West Maui. And with its location at the north end of Kāʻanapali, you’re close enough to walk to Duke’s, boardwalk shopping, and Whalers Village—but far enough to feel like you’re on your own stretch of coast.

What Owners Love About The Mahana

The Mahana may fly under the radar compared to bigger resort names, but for those who know it, there’s no substitute:

• All-Oceanfront Views
  Every unit, every floor, every day—nothing between you and the Pacific.

• Turnkey Vacation Rental Potential
  With hotel zoning and a proven track record, many owners offset their investment through strong nightly rental income.

• Spacious, Well-Maintained Residences
  Thoughtful floorplans with full kitchens and generous lanais make these units feel like home, whether you’re here for a week or a season.

• Peaceful, Private Atmosphere
  No overdevelopment, no timeshares, no crowds. Just swaying palms and the sound of the surf.

• Proximity with Breathing Room
  Located near popular restaurants and resorts but set apart enough to enjoy your privacy.

See What’s Available at The Mahana

If you’re drawn to the idea of waking up to an endless ocean view—and never having to wonder if someone’s blocking it tomorrow—The Mahana delivers something incredibly rare on Maui’s west side: consistency. Every residence is oceanfront. Every lanai opens to the sea. There’s no rolling the dice on views, location, or access.

For second-home seekers, it’s the kind of place where you can drop in and instantly relax—no navigating hotel crowds or waiting on elevators. And for investors, The Mahana's hotel zoning, strong rental performance, and loyal repeat visitors make it a smart addition to any real estate portfolio. With on-site management and concierge services available, it's also one of the more turnkey options in West Maui’s short-term rental market.

Beyond the logistics, there’s a certain calm that comes with owning here. The views ground you. The trade winds clear your mind. And everything you love about Maui—long beach walks, casual sunset dinners, spontaneous whale watching—is just steps from your door.

If you're looking for a legacy property that offers both lifestyle and long-term value, The Mahana is worth serious consideration.
