Honua Kai Beach Resort
130 Kai Malina Pkwy, Lahaina, HI 96761
Honua Kai is one of Kaanapali's newest and most resort-style condo communities, built in 2009 right on the beach. It is confirmed hotel-zoned rather than apartment-zoned, so unlike many older West Maui complexes on the Minatoya list, it is not targeted by Maui's Bill 9 apartment-district phase-out.
That zoning basis, combined with its full-service resort amenities and active management, makes Honua Kai one of the more established short-term rental options in Kaanapali.

Short-term rental status
Honua Kai is not apartment-zoned and does not appear on the county's Minatoya list. County records show it zoned H-M (Hotel), so short-term rental here is allowed directly under the zoning rather than through the apartment-district exception that Bill 9 is phasing out. Zoning can still change, so it is worth a quick confirmation with Diane if rental income matters to your purchase.
Rules are actively changing as of 2026. Contact Diane for the current status of a specific unit.
