The Kulakane is an oceanfront resort with 42 units, located at 3741 Lower Honoapiʻilani Road on the border of the Honokōwai and Mahinahina neighborhoods, close the Honokōwai Farmer’s Market and shopping, just north of Kāʻanapali, about five miles north of Lahaina town.  The distinctive shingle style architecture and twinkling curbside appeal evokes an exotic and quaint, yet warm hospitality as you rewind time and step into an easier way of being, embraced by the temperate air and gentle trade winds.

Amenities include a “half-moon” plunge pool, barbeque grills, and onsite laundry.  Long-time owners and visitors gather at sunset for the traditional conch shell ritual, and can participate in “Pūpū Parties” on Friday nights. On-site vacation rental management is available and is managed by Debbie Reynolds, who has been at The Kulakane for the past nine years.  Owners have the option of renting their units for short-term vacation rentals through the on-site office, or through a rental management program of their choice.  Owners and guests comment that “staying at The Kulakane feels like coming home.”
