Kaanapali Alii
50 Nohea Kai Dr, Lahaina, HI 96761
Kaanapali Alii is a beachfront community built in 1981, right on Kaanapali 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 distinction makes Kaanapali Alii a more stable choice for buyers focused on rental income.
