Hotel Review: Quite possibly, the only thing better than escaping to a Hawaiian resort for a vacation is getting away to your own private, Hawaiian vacation home. This is exactly what the Westin Ka’anapali Ocean Resort Villas are offering: your own private piece of paradise, equipped with everything you need, set on the beautiful island of Maui.

Ka’anapali is surrounded by Maui’s amazing mix of lush environments from thick rainforests to serene beaches of sugary sand. While you are not exploring the island, the Westin Ka’anapali has made sure its accommodations are above and beyond what you will need to relax for the day or entertain your kids. Local Polynesian, Asian and European cuisine is served all over the island due to the area’s rich community of culinary talents and the resort’s talented and experienced estheticians bring you the perfect massage to end the perfect day.

What sets Westin Ka’anapali Ocean Resort Villas apart from other Hawaiian vacation destinations is its approach to your experience, beginning with your villa. Every detail has been executed to reach the Westin’s high standards while surrounding you with immeasurable comforts and the true sense of Hawaiian living. From the resort’s three villa floor plans to choose from, each feature their Heavenly Beds, Heavenly Baths, kitchens with full-sized kitchen appliances equipped with everything you need for cooking, washers and dryers, large showers and luxurious whirlpool tubs.

But after a day of snorkeling, surfing, horseback riding, golf or shopping, you’ll be ready for a fulfilling and satisfying meal, and the Westin Ka’anapali has five dining options on the expansive property from the casual fare of their quick market, perfect for picking up a few small ingredients for an in-villa prepared meal, to the Ocean Pool Bar & Grill for a romantic dinner under the Hawaiian stars.

With two levels and 10,000 square feet of space, Spa Helani is the ultimate destination for a little pampering and relaxation. The spa consists of 13 treatment rooms including three couples massage suites (perfect for that couple looking to do a little relaxing together), hydrotherapy rooms, a sauna, steam rooms, and two uniquely designed courtyard massage cabanas so you can enjoy your massage while you enjoy the outdoors. Their signature treatments have been created specifically to provide you an exquisite spa treatment while incorporating elements of Hawaiian life, like the Lilikoi Fruit Melody, a luxurious body rejuvenation treatment, or the Hawaiian “Pohaku” hot stone massage.

At the end of your vacation to Ka’anapali, you’ll find yourself struggling to leave the beautiful beaches, ceaseless sunshine, and comforting confines of your luxurious villas.
