About this apartment rental

This 12th-floor oceanfront royal penthouse is considered by many to be the finest condo on Kaanapali Beach.

Originally the personal residence of the resort's developer, the exquisite 2 bedroom + den is lavishly finished with marble, granite, onyx, and handcrafted hardwood throughout. Entry is through a lovely double door foyer area, featuring custom artwork and a skylight.

Step outside and enjoy a cup of coffee on the massive 600 sq ft wrap-around balcony. 270 degree panoramic views stretch from the lush West Maui Mountains in the east all the way to the Pacific Ocean and Kaanapali's iconic Black Rock in the west.

Maui's picturesque neighbor islands of Lanai and Molokai form the perfect backdrop for you to enjoy one of West Maui's famous sunsets any time of the year. During the winter months, your party will be treated to some of Hawaii's best whale watching right from the comfort of your own living room.

Residence 1201 offers plenty of space to gather and reconnect because, with 2000 sq ft of interior living area, this custom floor plan is the largest available at The Whaler.

The first primary suite features a king-size bed, while the second suite features two queen-size beds. Open the pocket doors to reveal a large den off the main living room. The den features handcrafted walnut paneling and a queen Murphy bed which offers additional sleeping for two more guests.

We welcome you to utilize the modern chef's kitchen. The kitchen has been luxuriously remodeled with Subzero and Wolf appliances and features everything you need to prepare the perfect meal.

Two primary baths offer the finest tile, glass, and stone finishings, and a third powder room offers additional convenience for your group. Free high-speed wi-fi is also included with your stay.

Nestled right in the heart of Kaanapali Beach, steps from soft sands and pristine waters, the Whaler boasts one of Maui’s best resort locations. This world-famous beach offers an abundance of shopping, dining, and activities right at your doorstep. Luaus, dinner cruises, snorkel trips, parasailing (summer only), whale watching (winter only), surf lessons, and more are only a short walk away.

Lounge by the sparkling beachfront pool and hot tub or take a dip in the crystal blue waters of the Pacific. A beachside towel desk can assist with gear rentals for snorkeling, stand-up paddle boarding, surfing, and more. Additionally, enjoy a game at one of the tennis or pickleball courts or a workout in the fully equipped fitness center. The Whaler even has a private entry directly from the resort to Whalers Village, a beachfront mall offering unique boutique and high-end stores in addition to an array of dining options ranging from grab-and-go to fine dining with sweeping ocean views.

For added convenience, our exclusive courtesy shuttle offers complimentary transportation between The Whaler and several West Maui locations. Should you choose to rent a car, complimentary self-parking is available on site.

If during your stay you require assistance or advice about the surrounding area or the suite, rest assured that you’ll be swiftly taken care of with aloha by one of our friendly & knowledgeable liaisons - hand-picked from West Maui’s leading luxury hotels. Help will never be far away because our offices are ideally located just minutes away.

Wonderful view and nice accommodations; but not for us. The main bathroom has no privacy from the bedroom, no walls or door even for the toilet. The second bedroom, although better, still has no door and glass in shower that is visible from bedroom. If someone is sleeping, any lights turned on will be visible to bedroom from both bathrooms. This might not be a problem for some; but a negative thing for us. There is a Murphy bed in the den; but there is no way to close it off from the rest of the house. I think that there used to be; but with a remodel the listed pocket doors have been removed.

We couldn't have picked a better stay for our first visit to Maui. The views from our balcony were unparalleled and the condo was precisely as described. There are several restaurants that I highly recommended within walking distance as well as shops, beach activities and even pickleball. Our beach was never crowded and chairs were provided. The management company checked on us more than once but was never needed. We plan on a return visit!

Our family of 7 enjoyed our fabulous stay! What a view! Located so perfectly - teens were able to safely shop or go for coffee as they pleased. Whaler shopping are has a kid friendly outdoor space that put you her kids loved as well as a wildlife center on floor 3 that everyone enjoyed. Easy access to restaurants, shopping, beaches, excursions, pool, golf. We will definitely add 1201 to our list of places to stay often.

Our family had a wonderful stay in unit 1201 of the Whaler. We had never been to Maui and I was a little nervous that the location was going to be very crowded and that there would be alot of traffic. The location was perfect, the Whaler was a very nice property, with a very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Our unit had beautiful views and was extremely comfortable for all of us. The only reason for a rating of 4 overall is as other reviews mentioned, the carpet needs to be cleaned or most likely replaced in the primary living area, (the fabric sofas could be cleaned as well) and the refrigerator has an issue and is rusting as the top freezer and refrigerator door were sticking/off balance that I believe is causing condensation and rusting of the hinges. I had to clean the mold built up in the seal when we arrived. For the price we paid, I should not have had to do that. The kitchen is very well stocked and otherwise wonderful. Wonderful location, views, comfortable!!!! We cannot wait to return to Maui!

The condo was very roomy for 4 adults. The balcony and view were the best. The Whaler property is beautiful and in a perfect location. I would definitely stay here again.
