From its incredible 9th-floor vantage point high above the palms, Whaler 918 delivers stunning unobstructed views of the Pacific Ocean, Kaanapali's famous Black Rock, Maui's neighbor island, Molokai, and the lush West Maui Mountains. Its luxurious interior has been beautifully renovated with modern vinyl plank flooring, a fully updated kitchen, and a brand-new en-suite bathroom with a custom walk-in shower.

Enjoy all the advantages of a full modern kitchen featuring upgraded cabinets, quartz counters, and stainless steel appliances, and conveniently stocked with everything you need to prepare the perfect meal or refreshment.

Nestled right in the heart of Kaʻanapali Beach, steps from soft sands and pristine waters, The Whaler boasts one of Maui’s best resort locations. This world-famous beach offers an abundance of shopping, dining, and activities right at your doorstep. Luaus, dinner cruises, snorkel trips, parasailing (summer only), whale watching (winter only), surf lessons, and more are only a short walk away.

Lounge by the sparkling beachfront pool and hot tub or take a dip in the crystal blue waters of the Pacific Ocean. A beachside towel desk can assist with gear rentals for snorkeling, stand-up paddleboarding, surfing, and more. Additionally, enjoy a game at one of the tennis or pickleball courts or a workout in the fully equipped fitness center.

The Whaler even has a private entry directly from the resort to Whalers Village, a beachfront mall offering unique boutique and high-end stores in addition to an array of dining options ranging from grab-and-go to fine dining with sweeping ocean views.
