This 12th-floor oceanfront royal penthouse is considered by many to be the finest condo on Kaanapali Beach.
Originally the personal residence of the resort's developer, the exquisite 2-bedroom + den is lavishly finished with marble, granite, onyx, and handcrafted hardwood throughout. Entry is through a lovely double-door foyer area, featuring custom artwork and a skylight.
Step outside and enjoy a cup of coffee on the massive 600 sq ft wrap-around balcony. 270-degree panoramic views stretch from the lush West Maui Mountains in the east all the way to the Pacific Ocean and Kaanapali's iconic Black Rock in the west.
Maui's picturesque neighbor islands of Lanai and Molokai form the perfect backdrop for you to enjoy one of West Maui's famous sunsets any time of the year. During the winter months, your party will be treated to some of Hawaii's best whale watching right from the comfort of your own living room.
Residence 1201 offers plenty of space to gather and reconnect because, with 2000 sq ft of interior living area, this custom floor plan is the largest available at The Whaler.
The first primary suite features a king-size bed, while the second suite features two queen-size beds. Open the pocket doors to reveal a large den off the main living room. The den features handcrafted walnut paneling and a queen-size Murphy bed, which offers additional sleeping for two more guests.
We welcome you to utilize the modern chef's kitchen. The kitchen has been luxuriously remodeled with Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances and features everything you need to prepare the perfect meal.
Two primary baths offer the finest tile, glass, and stone finishings, and a third powder room offers additional convenience for your group. Free high-speed Wi-Fi is also included with your stay.
Nestled right in the heart of Kaʻanapali Beach, steps from soft sands and pristine waters, The Whaler boasts one of Maui’s best resort locations. This world-famous beach offers an abundance of shopping, dining, and activities right at your doorstep. Luaus, dinner cruises, snorkel trips, parasailing (summer only), whale watching (winter only), surf lessons, and more are only a short walk away.
