Those looking for a beachfront resort when visiting Lahaina don’t have to look very hard. A city nestled between the West Maui Mountains and the dazzling blue Pacific Ocean, the coastline now teems with options for luxury accommodation right on the sea.

The following are the best beachfront hotels in Lahaina – from snorkeling to surfing, and hiking and biking trails right outside the door, there’s plenty to keep you occupied at any of these.

Honua Kai Resort & Spa

A beautiful beach hotel with convenient access to Black Rock and Kaanapali Beach, Honua Kai Resort & Spa is a 4-star condominium resort with 628 rooms, all of which feature full kitchens and privately furnished lanais.

The hotel has a full service spa, luau performances by night, and lavish rooms with panoramic views, though the main on site attraction is an aquatic complex which includes five pools, two waterfalls, tropical gardens, and a 128-foot water slide.

Westin Kaanapali Ocean Resort Villas

Royal Lahaina Resort

For those seeking a secluded Hawaiian resort at an affordable price, the Royal Lahaina Resort is the best. Sitting right on the sands of the Pacific Ocean, guests can enjoy swimming, surfing, scuba diving, and snorkeling, and there are plenty of hiking and biking trails around the resort for those not interested in getting wet.

Classes for beach boot camp, yoga, and Pilates take place on the beach, and come October, humpback whales can be spotted from the coast.

The hotel features a full service spa, fine dining, and luxury rooms at an affordable price. Guests also have the option to book private hotel cottages which are on the ground floor and face directly onto the Ocean.

Hyatt Regency Maui Resort & Spa

An elegant Hawaiian resort with lavish amenities and suites, the Hyatt Regency Maui Resort & Spa is steps away from the Pacific Ocean, with two golf courses, a wealth of water activities (including a 50-foot lava tube slide), and hiking and biking trails.

The hotel offers a full service spa, fine dining (classic cuisine with a contemporary twist), and modern Hawaiian-inspired suites which feature marble vanities, high-speed Wi-Fi, and views of the ocean, gardens, or West Maui Mountains.
