Fodor's Expert Review Montage Kapalua Bay

This luxury resort caters to well-heeled travelers who want the comfort and privacy of a residential-style suite combined with resort service and amenities—elegantly furnished one- to four-bedroom units with gourmet kitchens, in-unit washers/dryers, and the largest lanai to be found. Other attractions include a cascading lagoon pool, a no-cell phone serenity pool, multiple restaurants, and a 30,000-square-foot spa. The resort also offers unique experiences served up inside of your own space, including “The Chef's Table in Your Residence” with chef Riko Bartolome either in the residence's kitchen, with small plates, wine pairings, an open bar, and live music, or outside with a heritage cooking lesson demonstrating Hawaiian traditions, featuring local fish, poke, prawns, pork, and tropical fruit. Also available en-suite is a private luau (with local food) and optional exercise equipment like Peloton bikes, Hypervolt massage tools, weights, and yoga accoutrements delivered to the room.
