Boasting the most beautiful oceanfront setting imaginable, the Kapalua Bay Hotel & Ocean Villas exudes romance. Perched above Maui's famed Kapalua Bay, the elegant resort offers 191 rooms, five suites, and 15 private ocean villas, providing the intimate, serene ambiance of a small boutique hotel, yet featuring the services and amenities of a large world-class resort. The hotel offers a 2002 Romance Package for couples seeking a romantic getaway, as well as a variety of wedding options for those who want to exchange or renew their vows in this extraordinary island paradise.
The 2002 Honeymoon & Anniversary Romance Package offers couples the choice of luxurious Ocean View or Deluxe Ocean View accommodations and includes a daily buffet breakfast for two, a $100 dining credit at the hotel's romantic oceanfront Bay Club Restaurant, and a welcome gift of champagne and chocolate-dipped strawberries. Requiring a four-night minimum stay, the package prices are per night, per room: $450 for Ocean View or $540 for Deluxe Ocean View accommodations. This package is offered for travel through December 25, 2002, and package rates are subject to applicable taxes.
One of the most spectacular wedding sites in the world can be found at the Kapalua Bay Hotel. At The Point, a grass-covered lava peninsula fronting the hotel, hundreds of weddings have been performed over the years. Surrounded by the sea on three sides, The Point offers stunning year-round sunsets and breathtaking, panoramic views of neighboring islands Molokai and Lanai. In addition to The Point, a variety of other beautiful indoor and outdoor sites are available on the property--from velvet green lawns and intimate courtyards to luxurious ballrooms--for wedding ceremonies, vow renewals and receptions. Weddings and vow renewals at the Kapalua Bay Hotel are personally handled by the hotel's Wedding Coordinator, who works closely with each couple to fulfill their every desire--from menu selection, photography and wedding favors to hula dancers and flower leis.
The resort offers a number of unique romantic options for couples to consider. Ceremonies can include a symbolic release of white doves or monarch butterflies, or guests can shower the couple with fragrant rose petals. In the privacy of their room, couples can experience the resort's popular "Bed of Roses" amenity: the delicate scent of roses permeates the air and pastel rose petals are strewn across the bed, with a long-stemmed rose placed on each pillow. Couples can enjoy a horse drawn carriage ride in the Kapalua area with a romantic picnic for two or a privately catered six-course wedding dinner for two under the stars. The resort also offers the services of a local artist who will capture the bride and groom's scenic wedding day in an original keepsake oil painting.
Kapalua Bay Hotel & Ocean Villas is an award-winning luxury resort situated on 18 beachfront acres in Maui's famed Kapalua golf resort community.
