The Shops at Wailea welcomes Signature by The Kahala for limited-time holiday pop-up

The Shops at Wailea welcomes Signature by The Kahala, the signature retail concept of the celebrated Oʻahu luxury resort, for a limited-time holiday pop-up. Open through Dec. 31, 2026, the boutique marks the brand’s first retail presence on Maui, offering a curated collection of Hawaiʻi-made gourmet gifts, specialty foods, resort merchandise and exclusive Hello Kitty collectibles.

The boutique features The Kahala’s signature confections and gourmet specialties, including chocolate-covered macadamia nuts, coconut shortbread cookies, assorted fruit jewels, coffee and tea. Guests can also discover an assortment of gift boxes, thoughtfully packaged for holiday giving.

All food products are made in Hawaiʻi, with macadamia nuts sourced from Hawaiʻi Island, fruit jewels produced on Maui and coffee and tea products prepared on Oʻahu. The collection highlights specialty products from across the Hawaiian Islands.

Among the pop-up’s highlights is The Kahala’s exclusive Hello Kitty collection, featuring plush toys, collectible keychains and handbags. Created in collaboration with the beloved character brand, the merchandise is available exclusively through The Kahala’s retail collection and offers a playful addition to the boutique’s holiday gift selection. 

“Signature by The Kahala brings a distinctive selection of gifts to our Center, particularly during a season when many of our guests are shopping for their ʻohana and friends,” said Diana Whitt, General Manager and Vice President of Property Management at The Festival Companies, the management and leasing firm for The Shops at Wailea. “We’re always looking for ways to introduce new experiences and discoveries that make a visit to The Shops at Wailea special. Bringing this beloved Hawaiʻi brand to Maui for the first time gives our guests something unique to explore and enjoy this holiday season.”

Following the success of its first off-property boutique at Royal Hawaiian Center in Waikīkī, Signature by The Kahala now expands to Maui for the first time. The Shops at Wailea marks the brand’s first neighbor island retail location.

“The Kahala experience extends well beyond a stay at the resort, and our Signature collection is one way we share that hospitality with guests,” said Monji Mohammad, Director of Retail, Spa, Wellness and Merchandising at The Kahala Hotel & Resort. “Bringing our collection to Maui allows us to introduce more residents and visitors to the specialty gifts, Hawaiʻi-made confections and exclusive merchandise that have become favorites among our guests.”

Signature by The Kahala is located on the Lower Level of the Middle Valley, between OluKai and Mahina, and is open daily from 10am to 9pm. For more information, visit theshopsatwailea.com.
