        <title>A New Direction: The Montage Residences Kapalua Bay rebranded The Resort at Kapalua Bay</title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 
The Resort at Kapalua Bay &amp; The Residences at Kapalua Bay


The Resort at Kapalua Bay is one of Maui’s premier oceanfront luxury residential resorts, set on 21 acres overlooking Kapalua Bay, one of the most celebrated beaches in Hawaii. Originally opened on May 31, 2009, the property has evolved into a flagship offering within Kapalua Resort real estate, known for its spacious residences, panoramic views, and world-class amenities.


Luxury Oceanfront Residences in Kapalua


The Resort at Kapalua Bay Residences feature some of the largest condominium floor plans in Kapalua, with expansive two, three- and four-bedroom layouts designed to maximize ocean views and indoor-outdoor living.


Each residence offers:




Sweeping views of Kapalua Bay, Namalu Bay, and Hawea Point framed by the islands of Molokai and Lanai


Large private lanais ideal for sunset and whale watching


Open-concept living spaces with luxury finishes


A residential-style experience with the amenities of a full-service resort




For those seeking a more flexible ownership option, fractional ownership opportunities are also available. These 1/12th ownership residences offer both fixed and floating weeks, providing access to luxury at a lower entry point.


A Premier Location on Maui’s West Side


Positioned along the West Maui coastline, the property enjoys one of the most desirable settings in Kapalua. Overlooking the crescent-shaped white sand beach of Kapalua Bay, the resort offers panoramic ocean views framed by the outer islands, along with direct access to beaches, coastal trails, and resort amenities.


Owners and guests enjoy:




Two resort-style swimming pools


Spa and Fitness Center


On-site dining


Full concierge and hotel services


A central location within the Kapalua Resort




The History of The Resort at Kapalua Bay: Ritz-Carlton &gt; Montage  &gt; St. Regis


The property’s legacy is deeply rooted in Kapalua’s history as a luxury destination.


Kapalua Bay Hotel Era


Prior to its redevelopment, the site was home to the Kapalua Bay Hotel, a beloved oceanfront resort known for its understated elegance and prime location overlooking Kapalua Bay.


Ritz-Carlton Club &amp; Residences (2009)


In 2009, the property was reintroduced as the Ritz-Carlton Club and Residences, Kapalua Bay, featuring:




84 whole-ownership condominium residences


62 fractional ownership residences


Large-format three- and four-bedroom floor plans




At launch, a portion of the residences were sold to private owners and Exclusive Resorts, while the remaining inventory was held during a challenging market cycle.


Repositioning as Montage Residences (2013)


Following a foreclosure in early 2013, the property was acquired by Island Acquisitions, which appointed Montage Hotels &amp; Resorts as the management company.


A significant multi-million dollar renovation and repositioning followed, transforming the property into Montage Residences Kapalua Bay, one of Maui’s most prestigious branded residential resorts. Enhancements included:




The addition of Cane &amp; Canoe, a signature ocean-view restaurant


An upscale bar and gathering space


Design elements that pay homage to the original Kapalua Bay Hotel




Recent Ownership &amp; Management Transition (2025–2026)


In November 2025, investor Kemmons Wilson acquired the remaining residences along with the hotel and event spaces.


On March 14, 2026, the property officially transitioned from Montage management to Marriott International, marking the beginning of a new chapter.


A New Direction: The Resort at Kapalua Bay &amp; St. Regis Transition


Now rebranded as The Resort at Kapalua Bay, the property is positioned for a planned transition to the St. Regis brand in 2027, aligning it with one of the most prestigious luxury hotel flags in the world.


As part of this transition:




The property is now managed by Marriott International and will be until the transition to the St. Regis Estates portfolio


The former Montage Spa has been reintroduced as The Spa at Kapalua Bay


Future enhancements are expected to further elevate the resort’s positioning within the global luxury travel and real estate market

        <title>Market Spotlight: 94 Keoawa, Honolua Ridge, Kapalua</title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 
Escape to Honolua Ridge: the privacy of the country with the amenities of the Kapalua Resort.

Honolua Ridge offers a rare opportunity to own a private estate with sweeping ocean vistas, world-class amenities, and unparalleled peace.  Located just three miles north of the town center of Kapalua, this gorgeous country estate strikes the ideal balance between a tranquil retreat and the activities and amenities of a world class resort.


 


Annexed into the gated Plantation Estates community, Honolua Ridge features home sites that range in size from two to thirty-plus acres. Rarely in West Maui do you find this much acreage.  Honolua Ridge is surrounded by open space and wild beauty.


 



A Home That Redefines Privacy and a Reimagined Interior


Set on over 7 acres within a gated enclave of luxury Kapalua homes, this custom-built residence offers a feeling of seclusion and privacy. The estate captures sweeping views of the ocean, Maui's vibrant sunsets, and the neighboring island of Moloka‘i.  The land is planted with fruit trees and tropical landscaping, and is bordered by acres of forest and native Hawaiian flora.


Architecturally, the home fuses modern elegance with island warmth. The expansive lanai and outdoor entertaining areas invite you to enjoy Maui’s perfect year-round climate with ease and style.


While it is a large home ideal for multigenerational living or a house full of guests, the layout also lends itself to easy living with the main level upstairs and guest accommodations downstairs.  Each floor is equipped with its own living room, kitchen, and three bedrooms.  The upstairs features a private office, and the downstairs has a home theatre, pool table and foosball.  The current owner has made extensive updates to the home, and the thoughtful renovation includes a completely reimagined kitchen, dining area, and primary suite upstairs, oak floors, new windows, and an extensive photo-voltaic system with backup batteries to harness the sun.


The Kapalua Resort is known for its world-class golf courses, tennis &amp; pickleball, hiking and biking trails, and stunning beaches.  Many of Maui's most popular restaurants are located in Kapalua, including Merriman's Kapalua, Cane &amp; Canoe, the Banyan Tree, Sansei Kapalua, Taverna, and the Plantation House.  Nearby in Napili, is one of Maui's private schools, Maui Preparatory Academy.


This is a rare ability to own a legacy property in a community that truly embraces the natural beauty of its surroundings.


94 Keoawa


Incomparable and casually elegant, this stylish and spacious home was taken down to the bare studs and then artfully recreated.


The home features oak flooring throughout, custom cabinetry in kitchen and upstairs baths with soft closing mechanisms, stunning counter tops and a row of elegant glass display cabinets.  





The kitchen is a chef's dream, beautifully appointed with a double Wolf range, Sub Zero refrigeration and wine storage.  





The kitchen opens to a large great room featuring a built-in entertainment center and a generous lanai for outdoor dining.





A gracious ocean view primary suite features a generous walk-in closet and ensuite bathroom.  





 The Primary ensuite is bright and airy, with windows overlooking tropical landscaping, complete with a soaking tub and shower large enough for two.  Just off the Primary is the first of two laundry rooms





 The study provides ample room to work, or for a quiet retreat to spend an afternoon reading your favorite books.





A second ocean view bedroom suite is located on the main level, with a large, sheltered lanai providing a wonderful spot for guests.  A third  bedroom suite and powder room complete the main floor.


Downstairs, you'll find a second great room, a second kitchen, a home theater, laundry, powder room and three bedrooms.





Just off the living room is a large pool deck, additional outdoor dining and acres of fruit trees.





The home theatre is a cozy place to relax and take in your favorite movies





The game room features a pool table, foosball and an ocean view





Three bedrooms are located downstairs, making this a perfect spot for guests or multigenerational living





The pool and spa are illuminated at night and are the perfect plax to relax on a sunny day, and watch the sun illuminate the clouds as it sets.





As night falls, and the stars come out, this is an ideal place to enjoy the wonders of the evening sky framed by palm trees.

Sales have been slower in the Kapalua Resort in the latter half of the year, which is to be expected in the wake of the devastating wildfires in Lahaina town in August.  There have been three sales to record since August: two sales at the Kapalua Bay Villas (both one-bedroom residences) and one to record at the Ritz-Carlton Residences, Kapalua.  Historically, the resort is largely a second home market and market activity tends to be greatest in the peak travel seasons of winter/spring.

With just 36 condominium residences located on one of Maui's best beaches, it's not surprising that there isn't much activity.  In 2022, there were just two sales at Coconut Grove.  The low sale was significantly higher than in 2021.  The reason for this discrepancy is that all sales in 2022 were oceanfront, while in 2021 there was a second-row, ocean-view sale.   Note: in 2021 and 2022 combined there were 8 sales, which represents 22 of the inventory to change to new ownership.

*Note Ironwoods 102 was purchased by Pacaso and has been sold off in 1/4 interests.  Those fractional interest sales are not accounted for in the above figures, but are reflected in the graph below.  Since 2020 about 30 of the residences at the Ironwoods changed hands.


At the time of this post, there are no listings.  Similar to Coconut Grove, the Ironwoods is a community of just 40 residences located oceanfront in Kapalua.  There have been no pending sales or sales YTD in 2023.  In 2022, the average sales price was buoyed by a record sale of a renovated oceanfront residence. The number of sales matched those in 2020.

 In 2023 the Bay Villas saw more condo sales than most complexes in Kapalua.  It is noteworthy that it is the only property in the Kapalua Resort with direct oceanfront one-bedroom residences.  All six sales in 2023 were one-bedroom condominiums.  Of these sales, an oceanfront townhouse floor plan recorded at $1,900,000 which was the record for a one-bedroom residence.  In 2022, the Bay Villas also saw a record-high sale of an oceanfront villa which served to increase the average sales price.

Like the Bay Villas, there were six sales at the Golf Villas in 2023. However, unlike the Bay Villas sales, which were all one-bedroom residences and no two-bedroom residences, the Golf Villas had three of each.  The highest recorded sale in 2023 was $1,850,000, which is 5 below the record sale of a two-bedroom at $1,949,000 in 2022.

The Ridge Villas is the lowest density of the Kapalua Villas properties (Bay, Golf and Ridge Villas).  The condominium residences are here the largest of the three properties and the bulk of the 2023 sales were two-bedroom villas, which ranged from $1,750,000 to $2,250,000, which is the highest sale recorded in MLS for a Ridge Villa.

In 2023, there were four sales at the Residences.  While it may appear that the sale in 2023 was a record-breaking price for a three-bedroom residence, it should be noted that there were concessions made by the Seller for an upcoming special assessment for an exterior remediation project which resulted in a lower net price.  The record-high sale of $13,295,000 in 2021 was for a four-bedroom residence.  With only eight ever built, these seldom come up, but when they do sell, they command a high price that does impact the average sales price and price per sq. ft. as they are directly oceanfront residences that often command a higher price.   It also should be noted that the developer ceased sales in 2022, leaving just resales available in 2023.

KAPALUA PLACE &amp; OCEANFRONT HOMES


There is just one remaining oceanfront lot in Kapalua, which sold in 2020 for $8,000,000 and $108/sq. ft.  It will likely soon be developed.  With just eight oceanfront homes that are part of the resort, it's not uncommon to no sales.

Introducing 62 Ironwood Lane, The Ironwoods, Kapalua, Maui





Casual Elegance on the Kapalua Bay Course: An incomparable and casually elegant residence, this single-level rare gem offers beautiful ocean and golf course views. Situated within The Ironwoods—an exclusive gated enclave of only 40 units at the stunning Kapalua Resort—this home has been transformed into an artful masterpiece.





Meticulously Reimagined: In 2022, the current owners re-envisioned the space, taking it down to the bare studs and crafting a residence defined by its custom finishes and luxurious features.


 


Sophisticated Interiors: The home boasts Summit Peak Shenandoah white oiled oak flooring throughout, complemented by custom Schuler cabinetry with polished chrome hardware and Monte Cristo granite countertops gracing the kitchen, dry bar, and bathrooms.


 


Gourmet Kitchen: The Bosch appliance suite is a chef's delight, featuring a built-in oven with a multi-function steam oven, a 36” Smart induction cooktop, and the top-of-the-line Benchmark series dishwasher. The kitchen is completed by a smart double door refrigerator with a center pull out drawer and lower freezer door, mini Wolf oven, GE Profile beverage center, and a smart Bosch Series 800 washer-dryer duo.


 


Lavish Comforts &amp; Modern Conveniences: Energy efficiency is ensured with new Pella Lifestyle double pane windows and a custom vanishing pocket door system that opens to a spacious lanai. The primary bath invites relaxation with a granite clad Smart Steam shower with an L-shaped bench and rain shower head.


 


The residence features a new Smart Daikin One HVAC system, new plumbing and electrical systems, and Armstrong insulation. Lighting is provided by new ELCO LED path and art lighting, with Hinkley light fixtures adorning the kitchen and entry.


 


Exquisite Details: Every inch of this home radiates attention to detail, from the &quot;Safe and Sound&quot; ceiling insulation, custom level 5 smooth coat finish on walls, to the new random stone quartzite on all three lanais.


 


Private and Convenient: This residence boasts a private one-car enclosed garage and a level walk-in entry with no stairs—a sought-after convenience in Kapalua.


 


Community Luxuries: Residents can indulge in the fitness center, recreation room, tennis courts, solar-heated swimming pool and spa, and enjoy the security of a gated entry, all set within 9.2 acres of lush landscaping.


 


A Rare Opportunity: Ironwoods 62 is more than just a home; it's a tranquil retreat where every detail is a stroke of design genius. Don’t miss the chance to own this unparalleled property within Kapalua Resort.

As reported by the Maui News, “Since first visiting Hawai’i in the early 1980s, we have held a profound respect for the islands, their culture and people, and we have grown only more intrigued through the process of making Montage Kapalua Bay part of our portfolio,” Webb Wilson, CEO of KWC Management, said in a news release Wednesday. “In light of the current tragedy, we grieve for the people of Maui. We intend to find ways to be involved in caring for the displaced residents and community of West Maui. Under our ownership, the resort will continue to offer programming that enlightens guests on Hawaiian cultural practices and history and benefits their personal wellness and renewal.”
