A stop at the Kai Ala Market within the premises of the Westin Ka'anapali Ocean Resort Villas is a great sojourn into the native culinary fare of the island. This store sells a host of local products, including ingredients and merchandise. Of course, it is not just a store; enjoy some live entertainment with the music, art and tasting events organized here periodically.
Located just off the main lobby at the sprawling Westin Ka'anapali Ocean Resort Villas in Kaanapali, this small resort grocery is an upscale and pricey convenience store. The small shop offers many necessities for the vacation condo cook as well as a tiny coffee bar where you can sit and relax over a fresh cup of Kona coffee or a café mocha. The setting is casual with great attentive service. The store also offers many snack items. The store attracts resort guests and their families. Kids often gather around for candy and snacks while wandering the resort. -Lottie Tagupa
Just north of the beaches and resorts of nearby Kaanapali, this small eatery is tucked away along Lower Honoapiilani Highway in Honokowai. The simple atmosphere and friendly service has gained the restaurant a reputation for being the spot for fresh fish and casual meals away from the general tourist offerings in West Maui. This spot is the perfect answer for those vacationing in nearby condos. Head straight for the fresh Ahi or Mahi. Seafood is also prepared and ready to take back to the condo to be baked, grilled or sautéed. Choose between macadamia nut crust, soy ginger marinade or wine with caper and butter sauce. - Lottie Tagupa
The legend of this company dates back to the early days of Hawaiian colonization, when some truly "bad" donkeys were used to haul backbreaking amounts of beans up and down the treacherous mountain trails. This establishment is not just a café; it's a souvenir store and retailer in its own right that offers an impressive selection of cigars, logo shirts, hats and of course, rich Kona blends. Stop in if you need to buy a gift for the folks back home, or if you just want a cup o' joe to get your day started right.
While this shopping center is too far west to boast proximity to many tourists or even South Maui residents, it contains a number of shopping and dining options that are well worth the drive. The Fishing & Game Brewing Company and Rotisserie and Roy's Kahana Bar & Grill are two great restaurants. Art galleries, clothing retailers and many other kinds of specialty shops are at the restaurant.
