History
Translated in Hawai’ian, Napili means “luck will cling” and also refers to the old pili grasses that were once on the land.
Napili's modern history began in 1836 when Dr. Dwight Baldwin was rewarded a royal grant of 2,675 acres, the lands of the Mahinahina and Kahana ahupua‘a, for farming and grazing.
Flash forward, over a century later, Napili Kai Beach Resort was purchased and the land was acquired by Canadian Investors. On the north side of the Bay, Napili Kai Beach Resort has several phases which creates the whole property.
Low-rise condominiums line the Napili Bay shoreline where you can see magical sunsets and tri-island views of the neighbor islands of Molokai, Lana’i and Kaho’olawe every day, including the Mauian Hotel, Napili Village, Napili Kai Beach Resort, Hale Napili, Outrigger Napili Shores Resort, Napili Sunset Beachfront Resort, Napili Surf Beach Resort and a 3-5 minute walk away, along an ocean front path, is Napili Point Resort rentals.
