Whether you're snorkeling alongside a colorful tropical reef, mountain biking down from Haleakala Crater or attending a world-class performance at the Maui Arts & Cultural Center, you will find literally hundreds of refreshing activities in and around Maui, known as the "Magic Isle." On the northwest side of Maui at Ka‘anapali North Beach, your resort villa at The Westin Ka‘anapali Ocean Resort Villas is the ideal location from which to explore and lift your spirit on the sun-drenched sands of paradise.
Follow ancient footpaths on the Rainforest Walk at the Hawai‘i Nature Center's Facility just east of the resort in Iao Valley. A guide will help you cross Iao Stream and share the lore and legend of this historic, spectacular location. The looped trail, considered a moderate hike, features indigenous and introduced Hawaiian plants, plus the remains of ancient habitation.
For a Cirque du Soleil-like experience—Hawaiian-style—reserve your seats at the Maui Myth & Magic Theatre in Lahaina. Here, modern dance and acrobatics meet hula, accented by vivid costumes, dramatic lighting and surround sound music. Each evening promises to transport you out of time and into a place of wonder and beauty.
Those seeking adventure can set sail for the island of Lanai, known as one of the top snorkeling destinations in the world. And while Lanai is home to sun-drenched, white beaches, pineapple plantations and playful spinner dolphins, one should never miss exploring the underwater treasures of Hulopeo Bay.
Experience one of the best luaus on the islands in the historic town of Lahaina, just four miles from Ka‘anapali. The Old Lahaina Luau is renowned for its authenticity in food, music and dance. Its traditional luau includes a fresh flower lei greeting, island craft demonstrations, a bountiful feast as well as an entire evening of entertainment, including a colorful and passionate hula show.
The diverse and mystical beauty of Maui is yours to explore when you arrive at The Westin Ka‘anapali Ocean Resort Villas, and you will certainly want to see as much of the island as your time and energy allow.
Luckily, enjoying the Magical Isle can begin within minutes of your arrival at the resort, as one of Maui's most beautiful coral reefs, where locals come to snorkel and view the colorful and abundant sea life, is found just off the shores of the resort's beach.
With its ideal location on the sunny, northwest side of Maui, you can look out over the ocean on any given day or toward the West Maui Mountains and see rainbows forming easily within view from the resort. Some Owners have even reported seeing a rare and magical moonbow from the lanai of their villa in the middle of the night.
During your stay, you'll discover many pleasures to be enjoyed both day and night. Immerse yourself in the sparkling swimming pool right outside your door and let the waterfall cascade over you while the warm breeze refreshes your spirit. To add to the experience, you may want to order something tropical and cooling from the Poolside Ocean Bar & Grill. Then, take in the spectacular ocean views with a visit to the Sunset View Whirlpool Spa for a deeply relaxing soak.
Should you want to get active, enjoy an exhilarating game of tennis or head to the fitness center to get your heart pumping using state-of-the-art stair climbers, stationary bikes, and weight machines. To help soothe your muscles after your workout, spend time relaxing in the steam and sauna rooms, or simply head back to the pool to soak up more of the warm island sun.
Children and adults alike will enjoy the many resort activities. The resort offers exciting scheduled activities that children of all ages will enjoy. Try feeding the Koi at the Overlook Pond, with its own soothing waterfall. Take an introductory scuba class in the pool before heading out to the beach and the offshore reef.
Or consider joining an uplifting class that combines yoga stretches with Pilates moves called Yoga-lates, or starting your day with an invigorating and low-impact water aerobics workout. You can even learn how to make an authentic Hawaiian lei using fresh flowers, or take a craft class where you'll make flowers out of clay.
Dining options at the resort include the market and delicatessen, which serves breakfast and lunch and also features items for picnics and for cooking on the outdoor barbecue grills. Additionally, the Poolside Ocean Bar & Grill offers light, casual dining and a full menu of tropical beverages.
As you will soon discover for yourself, The Westin Ka‘anapali Ocean Resort Villas is, just like the island of Maui, a magical place full of relaxing and delightful activities.
