Short-term rental status
Kaanapali Royal is apartment-zoned and appears on Maui County's official Minatoya list, the apartment-district properties allowed short-term occupancy under a decades-old grandfathered exception. Under Bill 9 (Ordinance No. 5909), apartment-zoned Minatoya rentals in West Maui phase out on January 1, 2029 (last legal night is December 31, 2028), about two years ahead of South Maui's deadline. Ask Diane to confirm the current status before you count on rental income.
Maui’s short-term rental rules are changing month to month, and several rezoning resolutions are live right now. See the current status of Bill 9, Bill 88 and the Minatoya list for the latest, including whether this building is named in any rezoning resolution.
If you need vacation-rental flexibility without a phase-out date, hotel-zoned condos sit outside the apartment-district phase-out entirely.
Questions buyers ask
Where is Kaanapali Royal located?
Kaanapali Royal sits at 2560 Kekaa Drive in the Kaanapali area.
Can you short-term rent a condo at Kaanapali Royal?
Yes, for now. Kaanapali Royal is apartment-zoned and on the county's official Minatoya list, so it falls under Maui's Bill 9 phase-out, currently set to end West Maui short-term rentals on January 1, 2029. A county council resolution advanced in July 2026 would let it apply for new hotel zoning and keep operating, but that path is not yet final. Ask Diane to confirm the current status before you count on rental income.
