The Resort at Kapalua Bay, Maui

What the classifiers highlight

Just 56 units on Maui's northwest coast, all suites or residences with full kitchens, wine fridges, laundry machines and marble soaking tubs in one- to four-bedroom layouts, sit between golf courses, a nature reserve and a marine reserve rated for diving and snorkeling. MICHELIN awards the property Two Keys, noting facilities that outsize its small room count.
