Maui Resort Rentals is proud to present this stunning 1BR oceanview penthouse at the iconic Whaler resort on Kaanapali Beach. Newly launched on November 3rd, 2025 this penthouse is now open for reservations with availability beginning on February 13th, 2026!
Suite 1257 is an exclusive penthouse perched on the 12th floor, offering sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean, Kaanapali Beach, the neighboring island of Lanai, and the dramatic West Maui Mountains. This spacious 1BR residence is just one suite back from the oceanfront and features over 900 sq ft of luxurious living space and over 200 sq ft of lanai space, perfect for soaking in Maui’s breathtaking scenery.
Nestled high above the palms, the private lanai offers the perfect place to unwind in the island breeze, whether you’re lounging on the comfortable outdoor seating, watching whales breach offshore in winter, savoring a tropical cocktail, or taking in Maui’s unforgettable sunsets.
Inside, you’ll find light, airy, island-inspired décor complemented by numerous thoughtful upgrades throughout the suite. The modern kitchen is appointed with granite countertops, custom wood cabinetry, and all the essentials to prepare meals with ease. Dine on the lanai or in the cool comfort of the air-conditioned dining room inside.
The living room and bedroom feature floor-to-ceiling windows to maximize the incredible ocean views. The suite sleeps up to four guests, with a king bed in the bedroom and a queen-size wall bed in the living room. Both bathrooms have been refreshed with marble finishes, new cabinetry, and tropical details, adding a touch of luxury to 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.
Lounge by the sparkling beachfront pool and hot tub or take a dip in the crystal blue waters of the Pacific Ocean. A beachside towel desk can assist with gear rentals for snorkeling, stand-up paddleboarding, surfing, and more. Additionally, enjoy a game at one of the tennis or pickleball courts or a workout in the fully equipped fitness center.
The Whaler even has a private entry directly from the resort to Whalers Village, a beachfront mall offering unique boutique and high-end stores in addition to an array of dining options ranging from grab-and-go to fine dining with sweeping ocean views.
