Kahana Offers a Quiet but Complete Vacation Experience

If you’re lucky enough that Hawaii exists on your vacation horizon, consider a place that will satisfy the all-important requirements of location, location, location. Kahana not only deposits you on Maui’s luscious west coast for an intimate nightly viewing of the spectacular sunset, but it’ll put you within reach of any and all of this over-achieving island’s many attractions.

The town of Lahaina will keep you nice and busy with its art galleries, fine restaurants, people watching and traditional luaus. Excellent beaches like Kapalua Bay to the north and Kaanapali to the south plus the protected cove of Kahana itself guarantee that you’ll get your beautiful beach fix. Kayaking, whale tours, submarine excursions and parasailing are smart ways to enjoy the ocean, while helicopter rides, hikes and a round of golf will allow you to pay your respects to the volcanic terrain.

The urge to wander the island will be strong, but you’ll also find yourself happy to spend a carefree (and car free) day or two in Kahana. The Gateway Shopping Center, a handful of restaurants and the ever-present sound of gentle waves make this a fine place to spend some time, so settle into a vacation condo right on the edge of the world, put your feet up and appreciate the chance to feel far away without giving up the comforts of home.

Those who choose Maui are wise, and to narrow it down to Kahana further reveals a savvy set of vacationing instincts.
