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

Wake up to stunning ocean views from your private lanai at The Whaler on Kaanapali Beach. This updated 1BR/2BA condo is just steps from the beach, oceanfront dining, luxury shopping, and championship golf.

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.

Kaanapali Beach and The Whaler remain untouched and fully open, offering a safe and beautiful retreat for your Maui stay. Located in the designated hotel zone, The Whaler is exempt from potential short-term rental legislation, allowing you to book with peace of mind.

Unit 312 Features:

- Private lanai with ocean and Black Rock views
- Full gourmet kitchen
- Two full bathrooms
- Martin & MacArthur furnishings
- Polynesian artifact collection
- Quiet concrete construction + added soundproofing
- In-unit washer/dryer
- Central air conditioning
- WiFi, cable, and smart TVs

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.

Please note: The Whaler Resort charges a $35/night resort fee, payable upon check-in, which includes complimentary parking, beach towels, gym access, and resort amenities.

This place is even more than I expected! I have been staying in Maui 1-2 times a year for 18 yrs and this had been the best place yet!

Nice place

Nice place. Loved the full condo AC. Great views from the balcony. Actually saw some whales. Great location right on the beach. Parking could be a pain but we always found a spot (last one). Nice to have the Whaler Village close by. We thought the couch was not very comfortable but we were never there very long. Would highly recommend.
