[[Amfac, Inc.]] started to develop Kaanapali Beach Resort in the 1960s, on mile-long Kaanapali Beach on the western shore of [[Maui]], a couple miles north of the old whaling town of [[Lahaina, Hawaii|Lahaina]].<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1970/05/10/archives/of-banyans-missionaries-and-resorts.html |title=Of Banyans, Missionaries And Resorts |author=Turner, Wallace |date=10 May 1970 |newspaper=The New York Times |accessdate=20 October 2017}}</ref>  Since that time, many more hotels and condos have been built both on Kaanapali Beach and for several miles up and down the coast, and Lahaina has turned into a tourist shopping area.

Major resort hotels now on Kaanapali Beach (in order from the south end closest to Lahaina to the north end) are the [[Hyatt Regency]] Maui (opened in 1980), Maui [[Marriott Hotels & Resorts|Marriott]] (opened 1982, now turned into timeshares), [[Interval International|Westin]] Maui Resort & Spa (originally opened as the Maui Surf in 1971, then rebuilt as the Westin 1987), [[Outrigger Hotels & Resorts|Outrigger]] Kaanapali Beach Hotel (1964), [[Sheraton Hotels and Resorts|Sheraton Maui Resort & Spa]] (1963 but completely rebuilt in 1996), Royal Lahaina (1962), and [[Aqua-Aston Hospitality|Aston]] Maui Kaanapali Villas (originally a [[Hilton Hotels & Resorts|Hilton]] when it opened in 1963 and sometime referred to as Hale Kaanapali).<ref>[http://www.mauiluxuryrealestateteam.com/condos/maui_kaanapali_villas/index_maui_kaanapali_villas.php Maui Kaanapali Villas]</ref>

There are also condominium complexes on Kaanapali Beach. Toward Lahaina between the Marriott and the Westin is the Alii. Moving further north on Kaanapali beach between Whalers Village (shopping center) and the Kaanapali Beach Hotel, is the Whaler. On the north side of Kaanapali Beach (north of Black Rock) there are two new complexes. The [[Westin Hotels & Resorts|Westin]] Ka'anapali Ocean Resort Villas is a vacation ownership resort, with South Phase opened in September 2003 and North Phase opened in July 2007. The Honua Kai condominium complex is just south of the Aston Mahana condominiums (formerly ResortQuest Hawaii) and [[Diamond Resorts International|Ka'anapali Beach Club]].
