Kaanapali Luxury at The Whaler–Ocean & Black Rock Views, Steps to Beach & Dining

Our oceanfront condo sits directly on Kaanapali Beach, ranked the #1 beach in the U.S. by TripAdvisor. Wake up to the sound of the waves, enjoy coffee on your private lanai with unobstructed ocean views, and watch Maui’s legendary sunsets from the comfort of home. Just steps from Whalers Village and from Black Rock snorkeling, this 1 BR/2BA condo is one of the most walkable and sought-after locations on Maui.

Whaler Unit 312 is ideally situated on the quieter, more serene north side of Tower 1, offering direct views of Black Rock Beach, the island of Molokai, and picture-perfect Maui sunsets from your private lanai. This luxury oceanfront condo has been fully renovated with high-end finishes, including a beautifully designed kitchen equipped with everything you need, as well as a wine fridge and a built-in bar for effortless entertaining. Two spa-inspired bathrooms feature elegant marble tile, premium Grohe fixtures, and a spacious walk-in “shower chamber” with dual rainfall showerheads.

Located in the designated hotel zone, The Whaler is fully compliant with Maui’s short-term rental regulations, so you can book with confidence and peace of mind.

Unit 312 Features:

- Private lanai with ocean and Black Rock views
- Full gourmet kitchen
- Two full bathrooms
- Martin & MacArthur Hawaiian furnishings
- Polynesian artifact collection
- Quiet concrete construction + added soundproofing
- In-unit washer/dryer

For a truly spectacular Hawaiian vacation, Whaler Unit 312 is ideal. This one-bedroom condo (with a queen sofa sleeper for additional guests) delivers both comfort and convenience …all within this 5-star resort condo. Steps from your door, enjoy direct beach access, the heated pool + hot tub, gym, tennis/pickleball courts, and more.

The Whaler is the best location on the West Side, consistently ranked among the world’s best beaches. Just next door is Whalers Village, where you’ll find oceanfront restaurants, luxury shopping, and live music. Stroll along the beachwalk, snorkel around Black Rock, or tee off at the Kaanapali Golf Course — all without needing a car, as Kaanapali also has a complimentary shuttle throughout the resorts.

My wife and I have been fortunate to visit Maui many times. This condo was by far my favorite accommodation we have ever had. Everything about it was perfect for us. The big lanai with great views of the beach and black rock was an amazing way to start our days. The condo itself is beautiful. It felt like being home from the perfect size kitchen to having two full baths and one of the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in! The complex grounds are beautiful and peaceful! Every interaction we had with the host was amazing. I have not one bad word to say! I am hoping we get the chance to stay here again!
Beautiful sunsets! From the balcony near the elevators

Wonderful stay in a beautiful unit. A real treat to be surrounded by beautiful woodwork and art. The kitchen was well equipped. Really appreciated having herbs and spices, oils, etc. cook with, as well as good quality equipment. Very comfortable stay from the comfortable bed to enjoying lounge chairs on the lanai. Appreciated chairs and cooler to take to the beach. Carol was gracious and expedient in her communications with me. I would not hesitate to stay here again.

Week in Paradise

We stayed here for the second time and I think we will always choose to stay in this unit if we choose to keep staying at Kaanapali. This time around we had Karen as our point of contact when we checked in. Karen was absolutely on it. We had a minor issue with the garbage disposal not working and contacted Karen and she had it taken care of so quick. From that point on she continued to check in on us to make sure all was going well. Stephanie was also fabulous and worked with us to extend our check out time so that we did not need to leave until it was time to head for the airport, allowing us to fully enjoy our last day before our night flight. As for the unit, it is everything advertised. We slept great. Our teen did just fine on the sofa sleeper. It is perfectly situated with a great view of black rock and I spent several hours on the balcony reading and napping even which is not like me. The breezes were amazing there on the balcony. Thank you Stephanie and Karen for a wonderful time. I wish we could have booked the following week!!
