A semi-private elevator provides convenient access to the residence, garage, and the property's tandem two-car parking spaces. This combination of privacy, space, direct oceanfront positioning, and resort access makes Villa 1502 exceptionally rare within Kapalua.
The residence is legally permitted and hotel-zoned for vacation rental use.
As of March 2026, the former Montage Kapalua Bay transitioned to The Resort at Kapalua Bay, with Marriott International assuming management of the HOA and resort operations. The property is expected to be rebranded as a St. Regis in 2027, bringing an anticipated new chapter of luxury resort service to this exceptional oceanfront setting.
With its newly completed 2026 renovation, more than 3,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor living, front-row oceanfront position, extraordinary panoramic views, private and peaceful setting, and access to resort amenities, Modern Maui Premier Grand Residence Villa 1502 offers a truly exceptional way to experience West Maui.
