Kā‘anapali
Welcome to Kā‘anapali
Moku are traditional land divisions used throughout the Hawaiian Islands for centuries. Each moku has smaller land divisions, like ahupua‘a (land division usually extending from the uplands to the sea). These traditional land divisions are reflections of ancestral values of resource management and sustainability. They continue to guide us toward more regenerative ways to enjoy our island home.
THE MOKU OF KĀ‘ANAPALI
Kā‘anapali encompasses Honokahua, Honokōwai, Kahana, Kapalua, and Nāpili. While the area is a global golf destination, it also offers an array of eats, sights and activities for travelers of all ages. By the way, “golf” in Hawaiian is “kolepa”.
