Montage Kapalua Bay—A Stunning Resort

Maui’s Newest Luxury Resort, Spa, & Residences

I don’t always like to use cliches, but sometimes you have to; and in this case, we really saved the best for last! We checked out of Honua Kai and headed North, off to the brand new Montage Kapalua Bay. As soon as we arrived at this property, we felt the immense quality and elegance, and knew we were at one of the best resorts on the whole island.

How The Montage Kapalua Bay Came To Be…

This particular property had been selected years ago by RockResorts to build the famed Kapalua Bay Hotel for Maui Land and Pine. I’ve been hearing great things about Montage and was excited to see some of the changes they had recently undergone. It had originally been a Ritz-Carlton property that was then acquired by an asset management company. They in turn rebranded the resort under the name of the famed new boutique hotel property that started in Laguna Beach, California, The Montage.

An Overview Of The Property

We were greeted by the Montage Kapalua Bay Residence’s new broker, Lisa Hatem (she moved to Maui from Aspen in the last year), who was a great ambassador and gave a tremendous tour. Wandering the grounds, it was clear that no detail was spared, down to the old art by Pegge Hopper near the Grand Piano in the bar. We all loved how the entrance to the resort is shaped like a canoe hale, and the rooms are very large. The class and luxury of this property must not be lost on buyers, as currently they’ve sold $42 million in units, and they just relaunched in July! Many agents who are selling it are actually from my particular marketplace in Wailea, as we all have clients looking for the highest quality products.

It was then time to visit the restaurant, and to our surprise, they had arranged for us to meet the head chef Mark. And even though we had been sampling the highest quality sashimi throughout the trip, we all agreed they had some of the best yet. The fish tacos were fantastic as well! By the time we had got up to the first unit, Yoshi thought he’d try the comfort level of the furniture, and by the looks of it, it was top notch. The views were just spectacular, and there’s a number of different infinity edge pools—including their Serenity pool, an adults only pool with no cell phones allowed, as well as a great family pool. The grounds were also impeccable, and the vistas out to Molokai and Lanai were tremendous, especially since it was just that perfect sunny Maui day.

Inside the residences are loads of African mahogany and Sapele woods—you could tell that no expenses were spared in building these. We actually heard the construction cost of the 160 units was $500 million, so needless to say, they’re very high-end quality wise. Additionally, owners and guests alike will surely appreciate the indulgences of the 30,000 square foot Spa Montage, as well as the swanky Cliff House for private events. There’s even a couple spectacular surf breaks right out front during the winter, and when the calmer summer months arrive, they turn into some of the best snorkeling and diving on island. From the time we arrived, to our departure it was nothing but the aloha spirit from the whole Montage staff, even my car was treated like first class by the valets!

We will be setting up some of their marketing materials in our office in the Wailea Town Center, and have negotiated an extremely beneficial perk for our clients. If you’re a qualified buyer, they’ll send a limousine service over to pick you up in Wailea and chauffeur you to the Montage Kapalua Bay—we can all agree, that’s some serious service! We are really looking forwards to helping sell this incredible property, so don’t hesitate to contact us for more information.

Aloha!
