Royal Kahana

Royal Kahana is the largest community in this stretch of Kahana, a single 12-story oceanfront tower built in 1975 with 236 units, more than double the size of most of its neighbors along Lower Honoapiilani Road. Layouts run from studios at 431 square feet up through one-bedroom units at 777 square feet to two-bedroom units up to 1,287 square feet, and the building is air-conditioned throughout, with a pool, clubhouse, meeting rooms, an exercise room, a tennis court, elevator service, and an on-site security guard. It's also one of the few pet-friendly buildings in this part of Kahana.

Ownership at Royal Kahana is a mix of fee simple and leasehold units, a separate consideration from rental eligibility worth confirming before you buy; leasehold terms vary by unit, with lease-expiration dates reported anywhere from around 2049 to 2050 depending on the source. Available records show vacation rental is allowed and the building is zoned H-2, which points toward hotel-zoned status rather than the apartment-district Minatoya list, so it likely isn't on the same Bill 9 West Maui phase-out countdown facing apartment-zoned buildings nearby. This has not been independently confirmed against the county's official records. Long-term renting is also part of the mix here. Confirm the ownership type and lease terms for any specific unit, and current rental status, with Diane before you buy.
