The island, still recovering from a massive fire in August, faces a delicate balancing act of luring tourists to come back while attending to the needs of residents.
Maui County Mayor Richard Bissen announced that West Maui north of Lahaina from Kahana to Kā‘anapali fully reopened on November 1, 2023. Following discussions with the mayor’s Lahaina advisory team, the American Red Cross, other partners, and the community, West Maui continues to reopen after the August wildfires that burned 2,200 acres, killing 97 people and destroying more than 2,200 structures in the historic and culturally significant town.
With expansive renovations over the past two years, the resort has some of the freshest room product, cutting-edge amenities and multifaceted pool complexes in all of the Aloha State.
