Cecile, Jason & I are soaking in the sweeping views from the lanai of our 5th-floor, oceanfront corner unit — three bedrooms, three baths, and endless horizon. After lunch and an afternoon lounging by the pool, we enjoyed a casual fresh Mahi-Mahi dinner at the Beach Walk and ice cream at Hula Scoops as the day faded into sunset.
Vacationing in Kaanapali between Thanksgiving and Christmas has become our sweet spot: fewer crowds, warm breezes with less rain, better prices, the early arrival of whale season, and that unmistakable festive Hawaiian vibe — all before the holiday peak.
It’s a tradition we look forward to every year, and Maui never disappoints.
