For groups
A resort enclave, taken over.
Reunions, milestones and offsites, on a coast built to host the whole group at once.
Design This TripThe Ritz-Carlton Maui Kapalua and Montage Kapalua Bay both offer residential-scale suites, dedicated event lawns and PGA-caliber golf, with the Plantation Course hosting the Sentry, for a buy-out-style gathering.
We charter a private Trilogy catamaran or a Maverick helicopter for the group, and arrange a private oceanfront luau or a chef's-table evening.
Everyone occupied, no one herded.
Kapalua's thousands of acres of trails, courses and beaches keep a mixed group busy without leaving the enclave, and Spa Montage handles group wellness blocks with ease.
