Until recently, The Resort at Kapalua Bay on the northwest coast of Maui was known as Montage Kapalua Bay, but has since changed management and abandoned its partnership with Montage International.
Now, it has been announced that the high-end Maui resort, in agreement with Kemmons Wilson Hospitality Partners, is officially part of Marriott Bonvoy. Better yet, the hotel will soon undergo a renovation and will be re-flagged as a hotel Saint Regis complex in 2027.
“Kapalua Bay is one of the world’s most iconic leisure destinations, and this agreement reflects our continued momentum in growing a portfolio of world-class luxury resorts that resonates with today’s discerning luxury traveler,” Dana Jacobsohn, Marriott International’s chief development officer for global mixed-use and luxury brands in North America, said in a statement.
During the conversion and renovation period, The Resort at Kapalua Bay, Maui will remain open and bookable, although Marriott Bonvoy members can now participate with Bonvoy points.
The current version of the resort features large residential-style accommodations that start at a whopping 1,774 square feet and extend to multi-bedroom options measuring over 4,000 square feet.
Other hotel perks include access to Kapalua Bay beach; a lagoon-style pool with multi-level waterfalls; a 40,000-square-foot spa; a championship level golf course; tennis courts; a gym; and a kids club.
