How much does a beach hotel in Kaanapali cost?

Find the best deals by being flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for our cheapest rates.
Which area of Kaanapali is best to stay in for beaches?
The best area to stay in Kaanapali for beaches is Kaanapali Beach, stretching along the western coast of Maui.

This area is renowned for its long, golden sandy beach, fronted by a collection of resorts. It's a very walkable area with a paved beachfront path, known as the Kaanapali Beachwalk, connecting hotels, shops, and restaurants like those found at Whalers Village. Black Rock, a prominent volcanic outcrop at the northern end of the beach, is a popular spot for snorkelling and cliff diving.

Couples looking for a relaxing beach holiday will find this area perfect. They can enjoy direct access to the ocean, long walks along the shore, and sunsets right from their accommodation. Many resorts here offer direct beach access and amenities like beachfront dining and water sports.

Families also find Kaanapali Beach an excellent choice. The calm, clear waters are ideal for children to swim and play, and many resorts offer dedicated family pools and activities.
What is the best time of year to stay in a beach hotel in Kaanapali?
The most popular time to stay in a beach hotel in Kaanapali is during the winter months, from December to April. During this period, you'll experience consistently warm and dry weather, with average temperatures hovering around 27°C. This makes it superb for long days spent on the beach, swimming in the ocean, or trying out watersports like snorkelling and paddleboarding.

This peak season is when Kaanapali truly comes alive with activity. You'll find the beaches bustling, resorts offering a full calendar of events, and a vibrant setting superb for those seeking a lively holiday experience. Families will particularly appreciate this time, as the calm waters and abundant sunshine are ideal for children to enjoy the beach safely.

As another option, May is a fantastic alternative. While still enjoying beautiful weather, with temperatures remaining around 28°C, you may find better value on luxurious beachfront accommodations and it can be easier to secure reservations at popular restaurants.
How can I save on a beach hotel in Kaanapali with Expedia?

Plus, you'll earn OneKeyCash™* on eligible bookings to use on future trips. Typically, booking in advance will help you save on your hotel booking.

What beach activities should we do in Kaanapali?
The best beach activities to do in Kaanapali centre around its beautiful coastline and clear waters, offering opportunities for relaxation, snorkelling, and whale watching.

Kaanapali Beach is the main draw, a long stretch of golden sand great for lounging and swimming. Black Rock, located at the northern end of Kaanapali Beach, is a popular spot for snorkelling due to its abundant marine life and clear water. You can often see tropical fish and sea turtles here, and it's also a traditional cliff diving site at sunset.

For couples, a sunset cruise departing directly from Kaanapali Beach offers a romantic way to experience the coast. Many cruises include dinner and drinks, providing stunning views of the Maui coastline and neighbouring islands as the sun goes down. During whale season (typically December to May), these cruises often double as excellent whale-watching excursions.

Families will find plenty to do along the beach as well. Many resorts offer equipment hire for paddleboarding and kayaking directly from the beach, allowing for easy access to the calm waters.
Is it cheaper to book flights and a beach hotel in Kaanapali as a package?
Booking a beach hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately. Bundling can lead to significant savings, especially for international travel or when booking a beach vacation package well in advance. However, savings vary depending on factors like destination, travel dates, and availability, so it's wise to compare options. With access to over 300,000 hotels worldwide, Expedia makes it easy to build the perfect travel package.
Can I cancel my beach hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right beach hotel in Kaanapali for you.
