The first thing that you should know about Napili Kai Beach Resort - the beach here is one of the best on the West Side for swimming and snorkeling. Many units have a view of the Pacific, with neighbor islands Molokai and Lanai in the distance.
The one- and two-story buildings with double-hipped Hawaii-style roofs are spread over 10 very lush beachfront acres, so you'll never feel overcrowded. Napili Kai Beach Resort is a traditional resort, so expect flaming tiki lamps and palm trees, along with the relaxed feel of old Hawaii.
You will be 5 miles away from Kaanapali and 9 miles from Lahaina. Maui's main airport, Kahului (OGG), is 36 miles away, and Kapalua Airport (JHM), which offers limited flight schedule to and from Honolulu, is 3 miles away.
2. Rooms
Hawaiian-style rooms are done in sea-foam green, mauve, and rattan; shoji doors open onto your lanai, with the beach and ocean right outside. The rooms closest to the beach have no air-conditioning, but ceiling fans usually suffice as the front doors are all vented to allow for the cool tradewinds to flow into your room.
Napili Kai Beach Resort is very quiet and noise-free, the only sounds you will hear are the waves and the birds. Keep the lanai doors open all the time, so the waves can lull you to sleep, and the sunshine bird songs can wake up up.

The Sea House Restaurant at Napili Kai Beach Resort is one of those off-the-beaten-path, out-of-the-way discoveries that you talk about long after you’re back home. Located just steps away from the water on beautiful Napili Bay, this charming restaurant exudes tropical splendor, from the tiki torches that light up the bay to the Hawaiian music that fills the fragrant night air.
On Monday and Wednesday traditional Prime Rib is served; on Friday 1 lb. Alaskan King Crab Legs and Thursday a 7 oz. lobster tail. Tuesday night might be the most special of all because the Sea House puts away their regular menu and offers one of the most delightful and charming dinner shows that you’ll ever see, the Polynesian Hula Dinner Show featuring the Keiki (children) of the Napili Kai Foundation.
One of the best entrees is Seafood Napoleon – Grilled Copper River Salmon, Ahi (Yellow-Fin Tuna), and Jumbo Tiger Prawn with Steelhead Salmon Caviar, grilled Upcountry vegetables, and saffron aoli.
