In addition to playing golf at Ka'anapali's Royal and Kai Courses, you can go scuba diving, surfing, boating or swimming in the pool.

Studio, one- or two-bedroom villas offer the Westin's signature Heavenly Beds and Heavenly Baths for your comfort and pleasure. Some villas are actually two villas combined as a 1,550-square-foot lockout unit. A whirlpool tub, fully equipped kitchen or kitchenette and a sofa bed are included in each villa. There are several dining options. Guests may have dinner on their villa's private lanai from the Westin's Chefs in Action, who come in person, prepare and serve dinner.

Guests of the Ka'anapali Ocean Resort Villas are welcome to dine at neighboring Westin hotels, such as the Sheraton Maui Resort and Spa or the Westin Maui. Your trip would not be complete without playing the renowned Royal and Kai Golf Courses designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr. Both offer picturesque views of the ocean and an old-fashioned sugarcane train that rolls by.
