All-suite on a crescent bay in the most secluded corner of West Maui. The most private five-star experience on the island.
Montage Kapalua Bay occupies the western promontory above Kapalua Bay, a Marine Life Conservation District on Maui's northwest tip, in a collection of 54 all-suite accommodations that represent the most privacy available at the five-star level on the island. The Kapalua location, 30 minutes north of Wailea, separates the Montage from the density of the Wailea hotel corridor and produces a resort experience that is genuinely secluded.
The 54 suites begin at 820 square feet and include full kitchens, multiple bedrooms (in most configurations), and private lanais facing the bay. The Kapalua Bay itself is one of the most protected and clearest snorkelling bays in Maui, the Marine Life Conservation District status ensures that the water quality and coral health are maintained to a standard that the Wailea beaches, with their higher traffic, cannot match.
Cane & Canoe restaurant serves a contemporary Hawaiian menu from a waterfront pavilion with the most direct bay view of any Maui hotel dining room. The Spa Montage's programme is the most comprehensive on the island's northwest coast, with treatments incorporating native Hawaiian healing practices alongside contemporary modalities.
The Montage Kapalua Bay honeymoon is the Maui honeymoon for couples who want seclusion over density, the all-suite configuration, the protected bay snorkelling, and the resort's 30-minute distance from the Wailea hotel corridor create a honeymoon that feels private in a way the Four Seasons and Andaz Wailea, with their larger scale, cannot achieve.

The Montage's Kapalua Bay setting, the Marine Life Conservation District, the all-suite privacy, and the Cane & Canoe bay dinner, constitutes the most secluded anniversary resort in Maui. The sunset from the northwest-facing lanais, with the Kapalua headlands in the foreground, is the most dramatic single sunset view available from any Maui hotel room. See all anniversary hotels →

Editorial · #7 on the Top 20 Hotels in Hawaii 2026 list
Montage Kapalua Bay's case for the Hawaii stay is the all-residential multi-bedroom product. The 2014 property has 50 residences only; every Montage Kapalua accommodation is a multi-bedroom residence with full kitchen (no standard hotel rooms).
The 50 residences include the two-bedroom Residence with ocean view, the three-bedroom Residence with full kitchen, and the four-bedroom Penthouse Residence at 4,300 sqft.
Cane & Canoe restaurant runs the dinner anchor; the Kai Pool Lounge handles the daytime. The Spa Montage Kapalua Bay runs the wellness programme. The Kapalua Bay position is alongside the Ritz-Carlton Kapalua on the northwest tip of Maui (the working West Maui luxury cluster, the working post-Lahaina-fire safe operational position). The all-multi-bedroom residence product is the structural difference from the conventional hotel-room Maui properties: every Montage accommodation suits multigenerational family stays at the working two-to-four-bedroom tier. The full kitchen in every residence suits the longer Hawaii family stay where the family wants to cook in the residence rather than dine out every meal. Best for the multigenerational Kapalua stay at the working all-residential tier.
