Aloha and Welcome to Hawaii’s Most Hawaiian Hotel, Kaanapali Beach Hotel. Join HawaiiOnTv.com in celebrating The Year of the Dragon!

At this year’s Chinese New Year Sunday Brunch Celebration everyone enjoyed the magical Lion Dance ceremonies, full of hope and excitement for the year to come. The Lions are considered mythical beings, as there are no lions in China.

During the ceremony the lions are attracted by firecrackers and drumming. The crowd then feeds donation envelopes to the lions. Finally the lion eats a head of lettuce to gain the final donation, a transfer of energy that teaches everyone the lesson that you can not get something for nothing. You must give to recieve.

There was plenty of excitement, energy and Aloha at this year’s celebration. Mahalo to everyone who came out to be a part of it all.

Kaanapali Beach Hotel is located at:
2525 Kaanapali Parkway – Lahaina Maui, Hawaii 96761

Travaasa Hotel Hana – Maui’s Last Truly Hawaiian Place

Travaasa Hana is a destination hotel unlike anywhere else in the world. Gracious in every sense of the word, from our staff to accommodations, dining, experiences, scenery and much more. We invite you to discover it for yourself.

Your Travaasa begins with two accommodation paths. Both unique. Both embracing an authentic sense of old Hawai’i.

Travaasa Hotel Hana Maui (Formerly Hotel Hana Maui) is etched into the undulating hills on Maui’s fertile east coast in Hana, Hawaii. This ranch-style property is located on 66 tropical acres and overlooks Hana Bay on the eastern side of Maui’s Haleakala Mountain. Hana Cultural Center is one block from the hotel. The Red Sand Beach is one-half mile away.

Sea Ranch Cottages Overview
The Total Travaasa Packages at our Sea Ranch Cottages are all-inclusive, and will leave you wanting for nothing. Awe-inspiring views that take your breath away, spa treatments to soothe and energize, experiences that satisfy your thirst for adventure, cuisine that satisfies the soul – it’s all here to help you refresh, recharge and reconnect.

Our Sea Ranch Cottages are reserved for adults and children 16 and over.

Breakfast, lunch or dinner in our Ka’uiki dining room or our café, Paniolo Lounge, plus snacks at the pool bar each day; unlimited non-alcoholic beverages. Daily spa treatment or an off-property activity or tour. Numerous classes from our Five Pillars of experiences: Adventure, Culture, Culinary, Fitness and Spa/Wellness – select from Yoga, Barre, Outdoor Circuit, nutrition offerings and many more. Makana Activities Center offerings – Choose from bicycle adventures, horseback riding, walking tours, stand up paddle board, ‘ukulele lessons, net throwing and much, much more. Unlimited use of The Spa amenities, including steam room, cold plunge, hot tub & fitness center. Daily use of sports equipment – Snorkel gear, bicycles, tennis rackets, and more. In–room welcome basket with fresh local fruit, snacks, Hana Blend coffee and our famous banana bread. Complimentary valet parking and Hamoa Beach shuttle. Complimentary transfer from and to Hāna airport.

Garden View Suites Overview
Our Garden View stay options are a wonderful way to experience all the beauty of Hāna and have access to the rich amenities and services offered at Travaasa. A welcoming environment for children and families, the Garden View suites are also an attractive option for those staying elsewhere in Maui who just want to experience Hāna and explore local beaches and parks. To preserve a sense of serenity, rooms are free of distracting televisions and clock radios. Annoying air conditioners are replaced by traditional plantation style ceiling fans, that circulate the cooling trade winds into your room.

Guests of our Garden View suites have access to our dining and spa services on an à la carte basis, and guests age 16 and older can access programs and activities on the Sea Ranch side of the property.

Here is what your Garden View stay includes:

Makana Activities Center offerings – Choose from bicycle adventures, horseback riding, walking tours, stand up paddle board, ‘ukulele lessons, net throwing and much, much more. Daily use of sports equipment – snorkel gear, bicycles, tennis rackets. Enjoyment of the Garden Pool. Unlimited access to the fitness room.
