Beach resort operator OUTRIGGER Hospitality Group announced plans to acquire Kā’anapali Beach Hotel, a renowned Hawaii resort.
The iconic property is known as ‘Hawaii’s Most Hawaiian Hotel.’
It is located on Kā’anapali Beach, spanning 11-acres with 432 rooms.
This Hawaii resort acquisition is expected to close on July 26, 2023.
It will then undergo rebranding to OUTRIGGER Kā’anapali Beach Resort.
“Outrigger’s investment in a full-service Maui resort underscores our confidence in this iconic destination and our commitment to the community,” said Jeff Wagoner, President and CEO.
OUTRIGGER was founded in Hawaii 75 years ago and currently owns and or operates 26 resorts, hotels and vacation condos throughout the state.
In the last two years alone, OUTRIGGER added five beach resorts to its portfolio, including OUTRIGGER Kona Resort & Spa on Hawaii Island.
It also added three properties in Southern Thailand and a five-star resort in the Maldives.
Kā’anapali Beach Hotel recently completed a US$75 million renovation spanning two of the guestroom wings.
It is employing several high-impact sustainability initiatives, including solar panels, charging stations for electric vehicles and water refill stations.
Kā’anapali Beach Hotel has been under the helm of General Manager Mike White since the 1980s.
As part of this transaction, OUTRIGGER will also take ownership of The Plantation Inn – a 18-room bed and breakfast in historic Lahaina Town.
At this time, no changes are planned for this adults-only property.
