Makai Club

The Resort and Its Setting

Makai Club is a timeshare property in Princeville, a residential and resort community perched above Kauai's north shore. The area is known for its tropical greenery, coastal bluffs and ocean views, and Makai Club's position here gives owners a base from which to explore that side of the island. As an independent resort, Makai Club runs its own operations and keeps its own local character, while its RCI affiliation means owners can also put their week or points toward exchanges at other resorts in the RCI network.

Princeville and Kauai's North Shore

Princeville sits on the quieter, greener side of Kauai, within easy reach of some of the island's best-known coastline. Hanalei Bay, a short drive away, is the north shore's classic crescent beach for swimming and surfing. Anini Beach offers a reef-protected shoreline that's calmer and well suited to families and snorkelers. History and wildlife enthusiasts can head to Kilauea Point, where a historic lighthouse overlooks nesting seabirds and passing marine life. Further afield, the Na Pali Coast's sea cliffs are reachable by boat, helicopter or trail for those planning a full day out. Horseback tours through the valleys inland from Princeville are another way to see the countryside without needing a beach day.

Because the north shore sees more rain than Kauai's southern and western coasts, the landscape stays lush year-round — part of what gives Princeville its reputation for greenery, but also something to plan around.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

Owners who no longer want to use their Makai Club week don't need to go through a broker to move it on. On BidMyTimeshare.com, you list the week yourself, set your own asking price, and buyers or renters contact you directly through the platform. There's no commission on the sale — sellers pay only a small one-time listing fee to post their week.

Because Makai Club is an independent resort, resale transfers are handled through the resort's own owners' association or management company rather than a national brand office. Before agreeing on a price with a buyer, it's worth asking the resort directly for the current transfer fee and the latest annual maintenance fee, since these vary by resort and aren't published figures we can quote here. A buyer should also confirm what exactly transfers with the week — the usage right itself, and whether any RCI affiliation or exchange credits carry over — versus what stays with the seller, such as any resort-specific perks tied to the original purchase.

What Renters Typically Look For

Renters considering a week at Makai Club are usually drawn by the Princeville location itself — easy access to Hanalei Bay and the north shore beaches, plus a quieter setting than Kauai's more built-up resort areas. When listing a week for rent, it helps to be specific about the season, unit size, and any view or location details within the resort, since these are the details renters compare before booking.

Practical Notes for Buyers and Owners

If you're buying a resale week, confirm directly with Makai Club's management how long a transfer typically takes to process, as timelines vary resort to resort. If you're an owner planning to exchange through RCI, keep in mind that deposit deadlines and available inventory shift with demand, so banking your week early gives more flexibility. Anyone unfamiliar with the resort's internal rules — guest certificates, exchange deposit windows, or any resale right of first refusal the resort may hold — should ask for this in writing before finalising a sale.
