Literally translated, “Kapalua” means “arms embracing the sea”, a romantic notion inspired by the sheer natural beauty of our location. Imagine… the two of you stroll hand in hand across an ancient lava promontory, carpeted in lush grass, and surrounded on three sides by the translucent blue waters of Kapalua Bay. Known simply as “The Point”, it is but one of many unforgettable settings at The Kapalua Bay Hotel in which to celebrate your love.
