Kaʻanapali Beach Hotel


This welcoming property feels like summer camp – but in the best possible way. The hotel is a little older than its neighbors and the style is more comfy than posh, but it has its own special charms: warm staff, hula shows, an outdoor tiki bar, tidy grounds framed by palm trees, and an enviable location on a gorgeous stretch of beach.

Family-friendly cultural activities include lei-making, storytelling and playing the ukulele. For churchgoers there’s a nondenominational outdoor service on Sunday mornings (8am). On your last day, bring a camera and a hankie to your farewell lei ceremony.

Self-parking is $14 per day.
