Make A Reservation

Sunsets, slow mornings, and shared adventures-Maui was made for two.

Whether you’re celebrating a honeymoon, anniversary, or spontaneous escape, Maui delivers unforgettable romance at every turn-and there’s no better home base for your getaway than The Whaler on Ka’anapali Beach. This oceanfront resort puts you steps from soft sand, world-class dining, and the kind of laid-back luxury that invites you to slow down and savor every moment together.

Here’s your guide to the most romantic couples’ experiences Ka’anapali has to offer-all within easy reach from your suite at The Whaler.

Begin With a Sunrise You’ll Never Forget

There’s something sacred about starting your day wrapped in sunrise stillness. For couples seeking serenity and beauty, a Haleakala Sunrise Tour offers a breathtaking moment to share. Bundle up and watch as the sky turns from violet to fiery gold above the clouds-it’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience that feels made for two.

Prefer to stay beachside? Brew coffee in your suite and watch the sun rise over the Pacific from your private lanai. Few things say vacation mode like that first quiet hour together before the world wakes up.

Play, Explore, and Connect

Maui invites you to explore at your own pace-whether that means heading out on an adrenaline-pumping adventure or simply soaking up the sunshine side by side. For couples who crave connection through shared experiences, Ka’anapali offers plenty:

• Couples’ Surf or SUP Lessons: Try something new and laugh through the learning curve with a friendly local instructor right on Ka’anapali Beach.
• Sailing & Snorkeling Excursions: Book a half-day sail to hidden coves and vibrant reefs, complete with snorkeling stops and champagne on board.
• Horseback Riding in Waihee Valley: Wander lush trails and experience Maui’s upcountry charm hand in hand.

Whether you’re seeking thrills or scenic stillness, The Whaler concierge can help arrange it all-with just the right touch of Aloha hospitality.

Sunset is for Lovers

Nothing says Maui romance like a Ka’anapali sunset. Grab a blanket, a bottle of wine, and find your spot on the beach as the sky explodes in color. Or, for something even more special, reserve a Maalaea Sunset Dinner Cruise or Kaanapali Dinner Sail, where live music and Pacific breezes set the scene for an unforgettable evening.

Back at The Whaler, the beachfront fire pit is a cozy alternative for stargazing and storytelling with your favorite person.

Savor Maui’s Culinary Side

Food is love, and Maui’s dining scene delivers heart and soul on every plate. Walk over to Whalers Village-just next door-for a romantic dinner at one of many chef-driven restaurants. From fresh poke bowls and sushi to farm-to-table delights and indulgent desserts, there’s something for every taste.

Or, take a relaxed approach and enjoy dinner on your lanai with ocean views. Pick up a few island favorites from a local market or order in from a nearby spot for a private picnic under the stars.

Relax, Reconnect & Rejuvenate

Not every romantic moment needs a plan. Sometimes the best part of a couple’s getaway is doing absolutely nothing-together. Spend a lazy afternoon lounging by the oceanfront pool, dip your toes in the sea, or book a couples’ massage nearby. The Whaler offers a perfect mix of relaxation and recreation, from tennis courts and fitness amenities to serene beach walks at golden hour.

Don’t forget to schedule a couples’ photo shoot while you’re here-so you can take a bit of the Maui magic home with you.

Plan Your Romantic Escape

At The Whaler on Ka’anapali Beach, everything you need for a romantic escape is at your fingertips. From island adventures to peaceful moments with the waves as your soundtrack, it’s a place to reconnect, rediscover, and fall in love with each other all over again.
