If an idyllic stretch of beach is calling your name, you will strike gold at the Hyatt Regency Maui, the premier lodging in the Kaanapali resort complex. This luxurious oasis occupies one of the most enviable locations on Kaanapali Beach. While a true paradise for sun worshipers, this 40-acre resort also is ideal for the entire family. The Hyatt perfectly captures the joie de vivre of island life. From the tropical elegance of the guest accommodations to the graceful free-form pools surrounded by lush gardens and waterfalls, the experience is pure Hawaii. Exotic wildlife shares the unique facility, including macaws, swan, penguins, and koi. The tasteful guest rooms feature platform beds with duvets, walk-in closets, and private lanais. Adults spend their days playing golf or tennis, enjoying water sports, perusing the resort’s 18 upscale shops, or lounging by a pool or the beach, while younger guests can romp in Keiki Lagoon—complete with a slide and dancing waterfall—or enjoy the planned activities of Camp Hyatt. Like the resort, the oceanfront Spa Moana effortlessly captures the essence of this beautiful island with unencumbered views and fantastic treatments, including massages, manicures, and pedicures in oceanside pavilions. Two other unique features are a rooftop observatory for stargazing and a “Drums of the Pacific” luau.
