Nestled among the lush foilage of rolling hills and a beautiful beachfront, in the midst of a century-old pineapple plantation, The Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua provides that rare opportunity to experience a different view of Hawaii - one that hearkens back to unspoiled landscapes, breathtaking sunsets, and swaying coconut palms.  Escape to a distinctly memorable tropical getaway, where world-class service converges with captivating island culture.  Framed by two championship golf courses, this exclusive Kapalua Maui hotel is the annual home of the PGA TOUR season-opening Mercedes-Benz Championship - offering a prestigious address, recognized throughout the world. 

The Beach House
Sip on tropical delights while enjoying the waves, surfers and sometimes, the whales. More than 40 fully-grown coconut palms form a natural canopy over this beachfront restaurant where guests delight in a selection of tropical cocktails and fresh, light fare.

The Pool Bar & Cafe
Offers tropical drinks, smoothies, appetizers, sandwiches and salads at the bar or served to the guest's chaise lounge.

The Lobby Lounge
With its breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean, The Lobby Lounge is the place to view the Maui sunset, enjoy the morning paper with a fresh coffee or, from December to April, enjoy whale-watching.  A spacious lanai offers outdoor seating or guests may choose to sit inside to enjoy the entertainment in the evenings.

The Banyan Tree
The hotel's signature award-winning restaurant, will feature a new design incorporating a new destination outdoor bar and lounge with a covered terrace.  With dramatic views of the Pacific Ocean and the island of Moloka'i, the restaurant will evoke the bounty of the sea with color-rich light fixtures and art inspired by sea urchins, vibrant corals and under-sea creatures.  As the terminus of a path from the heart of the property to the edge of the sea, The Banyan Tree represents a culmination in the journey - a return to the edge of the ocean. 

The Terrace
Facing the pool and ocean on the ground level, this venue opens to direct views of the flowering gardens at the center of the property.  There will be a series of family-style tables to enhance the sense of gathering.  The casual setting will be enhanced by an expanded lanai enclosed in glass and by images and architectural details of Maui's plantations. 
Hours:
Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Kai Sushi Bar
Kai Sushi, offering the island's freshest sushi and Japanese cuisine, will feature a new restaurant space to the left of the lobby, and the design will be inspired by the story of the native Hawaiians' arrival across the sea.  Set across the lounge from the lobby bar, Kai Sushi will feature hand-carved ceiling beams that recall the shapes of the outrigger canoes.  The glowing back of the sushi bar and carved wood columns are inspired by traditional Hawaiian art forms in print.  The warm tones of wood, woven grasses, honed plaster and gold-hued stone set a natural tableau for the bright colors of the fresh sushi delicacies.
