Maui's Golf Coast 2007 - (Page 9) Kapalua Resort. Deeply rooted in the Maui community and a devoted conservationist, Cameron helped lay out a A romantic Kapalua sunset master-plan for this 1,650-acre resort that reflected his personal ideals: a place of comfort that pays homage to its plantation history and resides in harmony with its environment. And so Kapalua’s upscale accommodations – The RitzCarlton, Kapalua, The Kapalua Villas, and Kapalua Luxury Homes – hug the terrain on which they are built. Historic buildings, like the Kumulani Chapel where weddings often take place and plantation era Honolua Store, are preserved and incorporated into the daily rhythm of the resort. The upper elevations of the resort include the Pu‘u Kukui Preserve where some of the rarest plants in the world grow, and the lowest portions of the resort, Honolua and Mokule‘ia Bays, are protected as a marine life conservation district. The golf courses are Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuaries, and Kapalua was the first resort in the world to be accepted into Kapalua Golf Academy the Audubon Heritage Program. The result is a contemporary luxury resort that feels like a historic country estate. At its heart are wonderful restaurants, boutiques, fairways and luxurious rooms. But on the far hills, a 23,000acre working pineapple plantation continues to thrive. To the west, the placid ocean and neighboring islands remain as they have for centuries. From the Kapalua Wine & Food Festival resort, the ancient valleys of Moloka‘i look so near you feel Kapalua Resort has been you could wade across Pailolo described as a place for people Channel and touch them. who want to get away from it all: a remote resort set in a pristine and natural environment. But when you stand outside the quaint Honolua Store and read the stone marker there – one of 14 scattered throughout the resort that share a little of Kapalua’s rich history – you may feel you did not drive north along HonoaPi‘ilani Highway to get away. You made the trip in order to arrive.
