Marriott International has signed an agreement with Kemmons Wilson Hospitality Partners to manage The Resort at Kapalua Bay, located on Maui’s northwest coast. Marriott’s management of the property will begin on March 14, 2026, with the resort maintaining its current ownership. The Resort at Kapalua Bay is now part of Marriott Bonvoy and is scheduled to join the St. Regis Hotels & Resorts portfolio in 2027 after a renovation.
The Resort at Kapalua Bay spans approximately 25 oceanfront acres within the Kapalua Resort community and offers 146 multi-bedroom, ocean-view residences. Accommodations range from 1,774 square feet to more than 4,050 square feet. Amenities include a 40,000-square-foot spa with 19 treatment rooms and ocean-view wellness facilities, access to championship-level golf courses and tennis courts, 3,415 square feet of indoor meeting space, and 30,210 square feet of outdoor event space. The resort also features direct access to Kapalua Bay Beach and several outdoor pools, including a multi-tiered, cascading lagoon pool.
Marriott International is working with Kemmons Wilson Hospitality Partners and White Label Asset Management on the property’s transition. The resort will remain open during the conversion process.
This agreement expands Marriott International’s presence in Hawaii, where it currently has about 30 open properties and six in the pipeline. The Resort at Kapalua Bay will continue to operate under its current name until its planned conversion to the St. Regis Hotels & Resorts portfolio in 2027.
