The Westin Kā‘anapali Ocean Resort Villas

The Resort & Setting

The Westin Kā‘anapali Ocean Resort Villas is a beachfront property in Lahaina, part of Maui County, Hawaii. Guests rate it 4.4 out of 5 across more than 3,300 Google reviews, and Google's own summary describes it as a luxury resort with an Italian restaurant, a sports bar, an outdoor pool, beach access and a spa. As a Westin Vacation Club property, villas here are typically laid out for longer stays, which is part of why timeshare ownership at this address has remained attractive to repeat Maui visitors.

The resort address is 6 Kai Ala Drive, Lahaina, HI 96761, right on the Kā‘anapali coastline — one of Maui's best-known resort strips, with direct beach access built into the property.

The Area & Things to Do

Kā‘anapali is a purpose-built resort district on Maui's west side, within the town boundary of Lahaina, long known as a whaling port before it became a hub for west Maui tourism. The coastline here is lined with hotels and resort villas, sandy beach, and a beachfront walking path connecting several properties, making it easy to explore on foot without a car.

Lahaina itself, a short distance away, has historically been one of Maui's main draws for its harbour, shops and dining, and travellers to this part of the island typically build in time to explore the wider west Maui coast. The Kā‘anapali area is also a common jumping-off point for boat trips and other water-based excursions that leave directly from the coastline.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at The Westin Kā‘anapali Ocean Resort Villas and are considering a resale, BidMyTimeshare.com works as an owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your week yourself, set your own asking price, and interested buyers contact you directly through the platform. There's no commission taken on the sale — sellers only pay a small one-time listing fee to get their week in front of buyers.

Before listing, it's worth confirming directly with Westin what resale transfer process applies to your specific contract, as transfer fees and any right of first refusal terms can vary by ownership type and are set by the brand, not by BidMyTimeshare.com. Ask Westin for the current transfer fee, whether a right of first refusal applies to your week, and roughly how long a transfer to a new owner typically takes to process once a sale is agreed. It's also worth checking with Westin exactly what does and doesn't carry over to a resale buyer — for example, whether any loyalty-style benefits tied to the original purchase are included or not.

This resort is affiliated with Interval International, so if that exchange access matters to you as a seller or is something a buyer is asking about, it's worth confirming current enrolment status before listing or buying.

For owners who'd rather rent out a week than sell, renters at this type of beachfront, villa-style resort typically look for direct beach access, on-site dining options, and confirmation of which week and unit type is available, so it helps to have those details ready when you list.

Practical Notes

Maui's west side, including Kā‘anapali and Lahaina, experiences a drier, sunnier climate than parts of the island's north and east coasts, which is part of its long-standing appeal for beach-focused stays. As with most Hawaiian resort towns, getting around without a rental car is possible within the immediate resort area but more limited further afield.

Anyone buying a resale week should independently verify current annual maintenance fees and any outstanding assessments directly with Westin before completing a purchase, since these figures change over time and aren't fixed by the resale transaction itself.
