From its inception, Kapalua was to be in harmony with the land, rather than impose upon it. The protection of wildlife and the preservation of unobstructed views and open spaces were part of the guiding philosophy.

Kapalua's commitment to the preservation of the environment is evident throughout the resort. In addition to award winning beaches, lush gardens and views of the West Maui Mountains, Kaplaua is surrounded by lush green pineapple fields, nature preserves and marine sanctuaries. The golf courses are even certified by Audubon International as Audubon Cooperative sanctuaries.

On an island renowned for its natural wonders, Kapalua manages to enhance Maui's beauty, not just for what was created, but more importantly, for what was left untouched.
