Kapalua, Maui, Hawaii
Discover a quieter side of Maui with Inspirato’s upscale homes in Kapalua. Each residence belongs to the sophisticated resort community of Montage at Kapalua Bay, known for its pristine golf courses, cascading pools, and excellent snorkeling.
Snap Dragon, Day Flower, and Oneloa sit on the second floor, featuring open-air lanais with lush garden views. Kahili, a ground-floor home, offers a private lanai that opens onto a lawn. All are a two-minute walk to Kapalua Bay Beach.
Maui’s Quieter Side
A sacred place for native Hawaiians, Kapalua offers the breathtaking landscapes that Hawaii is known for. This is a quieter side of Maui, making it an ideal destination both for families or a relaxing romantic getaway. Experience the thrill of ziplining over lush valleys, hit the links on world-class courses, and hike through dense forests that used to be home to a pineapple plantation. Or simply spend your days luxuriating on the incredible Kapalua Beach—a golden crescent beach with calm waters and a sandy bottom that gently slopes to deeper water. Head to the island’s nearby rugged northern coast where you’re sure to find adventure.
