History

Kapalua has a unique cultural heritage and history that were present centuries before the resort was developed and which we strive to preserve today. Many visitors are familiar with the area's rich history from the ancient Hawaiians, the pineapple fields and the ethnic "camps" and the historic buildings like the Kumulani Chapel and the Honolua Store that are preserved and incorporated into the daily rhythm of the resort.

To explore Kapalua's historical heritage, begin with the Ala Hele Kapalua, or "Heritage Trail" and then join us on a Maui Pineapple Plantation tour.
