Hawaii: Montage adds Maui hotel to its group, offers savings package

The Montage Hotel group, which has properties in Laguna Beach and Beverly Hills, has welcomed a Maui hotel to the fold and is offering savings for those who book this month.

Montage Kapalua Bay opened on Maui’s less-touristy northwest coast on 24 acres. The property, formerly the Residences at Kapalua Bay underwent a $15 million facelift

The all-suite resort features one- to four-bedroom accommodations, each with a lanai complete with daybed, all the better to enjoy the ocean views.

The suites include gourmet kitchens. Guests prepare their own meals from organic food sold at the resort’s Mahana Market or hire a chef to create them.

Those who want to dine out--but without a drive--can visit the upscale Cane & Canoe restaurant or the casual Sunset Patio, located poolside.

The Montage Kapalua Bay employs Silla Kaina as its cultural ambassador. Kaina’s job is to educate guests about native customs through lessons in hula, lei making and ukulele.

To celebrate the hotel’s opening, the Montage Maui Memories Experience package is available for guests who book by the end of June. It’s priced at $595 a night, and includes a one-bedroom suite, a $50 daily breakfast credit, and a $200 Spa Montage credit.

The rate is good for stays through Dec. 19.
