The Residences at Kapalua Bay
1 Bay Dr, Lahaina, HI 96761
The Residences at Kapalua Bay is one of the newest luxury communities in the resort, built in 2009 right on Kapalua Bay. It is confirmed hotel-zoned rather than apartment-zoned, so unlike the resort's older Minatoya-listed communities, it is not targeted by Maui's Bill 9 apartment-district phase-out.
That zoning basis, combined with its resort-adjacent amenities, positions The Residences as one of the more rental-stable choices at Kapalua.
