Honua Kai Beach Resort
130 Kai Malina Pkwy, Lahaina, HI 96761
Honua Kai Beach Resort is one of Kaanapali's newer condo communities, with its main Hokulani and Konea towers completed in 2009 to 2010 directly on the beach at the north end of the resort (a later addition, Luana Garden Villas, followed in 2021). Full-service resort amenities and active, professional on-site management give it a polished, full-resort feel from beach to pool.
Available records describe the main towers as hotel-zoned rather than apartment-zoned, so unlike many older West Maui complexes on the Minatoya list, Honua Kai is not targeted by Maui's Bill 9 apartment-district phase-out in the usual sense. At least one county-record aggregator lists a mix of zoning designations across the property, so confirm the zoning for a specific unit with Diane before you buy.

Short-term rental status
Honua Kai's main towers are not apartment-zoned and do not appear on the county's Minatoya list; available records describe them as hotel-zoned, so short-term rental is allowed directly under the zoning rather than through the apartment-district exception that Bill 9 is phasing out. At least one county-record aggregator shows a mix of zoning designations across the larger property (which includes a 2021 addition), so ask Diane to confirm the zoning for a specific unit before you count on rental income.
Rules are actively changing as of 2026. Contact Diane for the current status of a specific unit.

Honua Kai sits at 130 Kai Malina Parkway, directly on the beach at the north end of Kaanapali.
Can you short-term rent a condo at Honua Kai?
The main towers are described as hotel-zoned in available records, so their rental future looks more stable than many Minatoya-listed West Maui complexes and short-term rental would be allowed directly under the zoning rather than through the apartment-district exception Bill 9 is phasing out. At least one source shows a mix of zoning across the larger property, so confirm the zoning for a specific unit with Diane.
