Westin Nanea Ocean Villas
North Kaanapali Beach, Lahaina, HI 96761
Westin Nanea Ocean Villas is a modern resort that opened in 2017 on 16 acres at the north end of Kaanapali Beach, with 390 one, two, and three-bedroom villas across eight six-story buildings. It is important to understand what this actually is before you compare it to a typical condo: Westin Nanea operates as a vacation-ownership, or timeshare, resort under Marriott Vacations Worldwide, not a standard fee-simple condominium.
That means ownership here usually takes the form of a fractional interest or points-based vacation package rather than owning a whole unit outright, and the standard Minatoya list and Bill 9 apartment-district framework that governs traditional condo short-term rentals does not apply in the same way. If a timeshare or fractional-ownership structure is not what you are looking for, this is worth clarifying with Diane early in your search.

Short-term rental status
Westin Nanea Ocean Villas is a vacation-ownership (timeshare) resort, not a standard fee-simple condominium, so the Minatoya list and Bill 9 apartment-district phase-out that govern traditional condo short-term rentals do not apply here in the usual sense. If you are considering a purchase here, make sure you understand the fractional or points-based ownership structure, which is fundamentally different from buying a whole condo. Ask Diane to walk you through how ownership works before you commit.
Rules are actively changing as of 2026. Contact Diane for the current status of a specific unit.

Questions buyers ask
Where is Westin Nanea Ocean Villas located?
Westin Nanea sits on 16 acres at the north end of Kaanapali Beach.
Is Westin Nanea Ocean Villas a regular condo purchase?
No. It operates as a vacation-ownership, or timeshare, resort under Marriott Vacations Worldwide. Ownership is typically fractional or points-based rather than owning a whole unit outright, which is a very different purchase than a standard condo.
Does the Minatoya list or Bill 9 apply at Westin Nanea?
Not in the usual sense. Because this is a vacation-ownership resort rather than a traditional condominium, the apartment-district Minatoya framework that Bill 9 is phasing out does not govern it the same way. Ask Diane for specifics if you are comparing this to a standard condo purchase.
