BETHESDA, Maryland—Marriott International announced that it has signed an agreement with Kemmons Wilson Hospitality Partners (“KWHP”) to bring The Resort at Kapalua Bay, a luxury oceanfront resort located on Maui’s northwest coast, into the company’s luxury portfolio. This agreement expands Marriott’s offerings in Hawaii, with around 30 open properties and six in the pipeline.
Working with KWHP, Marriott has assumed management of the hotel’s operations and continues to welcome guests to the resort as it undergoes the conversion. Following the completion of a renovation, the property is slated to join the St. Regis Hotels & Resorts portfolio in 2027.
Set on approximately 25 acres of oceanfront and situated within the larger Kapalua Resort community, The Resort at Kapalua Bay includes 146 multi-bedroom, ocean-view residences.
