Starwood Vacation Ownership has broken ground for The Westin Nanea Ocean Villas in an oceanfront setting on Maui’s Kāʻanapali Beach.

Scheduled to open in 2017, the resort will feature 390 luxurious villas and world-class resort amenities, including a 10,000-square-foot lagoon-style pool, a children’s beach pool and play area, two plunge pools, a beach bar, a full-service restaurant, and a WestinWORKOUT studio.

The resort will offer cultural programming celebrating local history, arts and crafts, music and dance, and access to resort amenities at The Westin Kāʻanapali Ocean Resort Villas located next door, including Spa Helani, a Heavenly Spa by Westin.

The resort will pursue the US Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design certification for high-performance buildings.

By working closely with Hawaiian cultural experts, the property will provide an authentic experience that celebrates the island’s rich history and traditions.
