Kapalua Ridge Villas
100 Ridge Rd, Lahaina, HI 96761
Kapalua Ridge Villas sits above Oneloa Bay, built in 1979 and 1980 with 161 homes across twenty-eight low-rise buildings on more than 21 acres. The community was deliberately designed for low density, with just five or six villas in each building and a dedicated carport and storage for every unit.
It is apartment-zoned and confirmed on Maui County's official Minatoya list, so it falls under Maui's Bill 9 phase-out on the West Maui timeline, which runs about two years ahead of South Maui's deadline.

Short-term rental status
Kapalua Ridge Villas 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, apartment-zoned Minatoya rentals in West Maui phase out at the start of 2029, about two years ahead of South Maui's deadline. A newer measure has opened a path for many of these buildings to apply for new hotel zoning and keep operating, and the matter is still moving through the courts. Ask Diane to confirm the current status before you count on rental income.
Rules are actively changing as of 2026. Contact Diane for the current status of a specific unit.
