Recreation & leisure

Kapalua Resort offers three major accommodations for leisure rentals: The Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua, The Kapalua Villas, and Kapalua Luxury Homes. Villas and luxury homes can be rented through a number of companies for vacations, or the properties themselves can be purchased through Kapalua Realty, Sakamoto Properties, Ridge Realty or Sullivan Properties. The Resort has a variety of restaurants providing gourmet French, Italian, Mediterranean, Pacific Rim, Asian, and fresh Hawaiian cuisine.Kapalua also maintains two golf courses: The Bay Course and The Plantation Course, and the Kapalua Golf Academy. The Bay Course and The Plantation Course were recognized as #1 in Hawaii for Best Golf Resort by Travel + Leisure Golf Magazine. The Plantation Course is the perennial host of the PGA Tour’s season opening Mercedes-Benz Championship every January.

Kapalua Resort has five beaches: Kapalua Bay, D.T. Fleming Beach, Oneloa Beach, Honolua Bay, and Mokule'ia Bay. Kapalua Bay has been voted the "Best Beach in the World" by the readers of Conde Nast Traveler Magazine, "America's #1 Beach" on the very first annual list of Dr. Beach's Top 20 Beaches in America, and the "Best Beach in America" by The Travel Channel, among other honors. Kapalua Bay was previously known as Fleming Beach [http://www.visitmaui.com/beaches.html] , but was renamed when the Kapalua Resort was built. Another site about a mile to the north was then renamed "D.T. Fleming Beach," ostensibly to divert tourists who had heard of the beautiful beach.
