Kaanapali Golf Estates Subdivision Real Estate Guide

Aloha and welcome to Ka’anapali Golf Estates – Ka’anaapli, Maui, Hawaii

Hands down, Ka’anapali Golf Estates is the finest residential subdivision in Ka’anapali and arguably one of the best in West Maui. I am a little biased as my family and I live in Ka’anapali Golf Estates but there is no question that the location, climate, and views make this area one of the most pleasant places to call home in all of Maui.

Ka’anapali Golf Estates is right across the street from the Ka’anapali Resort and Ka’anapali Beach, and many of these Ka’anapali homes have amazing ocean, mountain, outer island (Lanai and Molokai), and golf course views. Select homes in the neighborhood border the Kai and Royal Ka’anapali Golf course where a great activity is to enjoy The Fit Club-Ka’anapali Maui Golfing.

Please join me in this tour around the subdivision where I where I reference all of the main neighborhoods.

True to its name, The Summit is located near the top of the Kaanapali Golf Estates. Many of the residences have fantastic ocean and outer island views. We live right below The Summit and regularly enjoy afternoon walks up here as the rear portion of this neighborhood gives you a great look at Mauna Kahalawai (The West Maui Mountains).

There is an additional security gate at the entry of this neighborhood which is a mix of detached residential condominiums (17 total) and custom homes sitting on 1/4 lots. The residential condos are quite large, but offer homeowners the benefit of maintenance-free living, relative seclusion due to the careful landscaping, and the most expansive views for any Kaanapali condo complex.
