KAPALUA, MAUI, HI – January 15, 2018The Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua – a cherished luxury resort located on Maui’s pristine North Shore – announces the completion of its much-anticipated transformative renovation. Immersing guests in an authentic Hawaiian experience deeply rooted in local culture, environmental adventure and a warm Aloha spirit, the resort proudly boasts newly transformed guest rooms, suites and residences, an enhanced lobby and pool experience, and new F&B outlet, Kai Café. Celebrating its milestone 25th anniversary, these new enhancements honor the last quarter of a century while ushering in a new wave of natural Aloha.

“This is a very gratifying moment in history for The Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua,” says General Manager, Mike Kass. “The fresh new room design and exciting improvements reflect our true identity, honoring our native Hawaiian culture and bringing about a fresh, new chapter of service for our guests.”

Creating a memorable stay from the moment of arrival, the resort’s elevated lobby experience is inspired by the Hawaiian word, Mana, meaning the power of the elemental forces in nature embodied in an object or person. Intimate lighting and elements of fire meld beautifully with organic lines and textures to create a seamless indoor-outdoor feeling.

The 10,000 square foot tri-level pool and 20,000 square foot sun deck are now accompanied by newly imagined Cabana Suites complete with butler service, flat screen televisions, and a private refrigerator. Refreshed landscaping, including the addition of puakenikeni trees, hibiscus and lauhala, provides a peaceful, authentic setting that reflects a true sense of Maui.

Located on the lobby level of the resort, the new island-modern Kai Café is the perfect place to begin the day. Offering an array of house-made pastries, organic smoothies, fresh local coffee and deli selections, tropical fruits, sandwiches, wraps, salads, and more, guests can choose to enjoy their meal basking in stunning ocean views or take items to go enjoy at their favorite locale.

While exciting new additions and transformations bring a new wave of Hawaiian luxury for the resort, The Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua remains an unaltered escape steeped in impeccable service and authentic local culture. Located at the sacred shores of Honokahua, The Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua continues to offer its guests a unique sense of place, discovery of self, and unforgettable memories for its guests.
