The newly renovated Ritz Carlton Kapalua, an endeavor costing upwards of $45 million, is hands down one of the finest resorts on the island of Maui. The views of the deep blue Pacific are ubiquitous at the Kapalua Resort. And for those not adventurous enough to swim in it, not to worry – the resort has three gigantic swimming pools connected with a massive waterfall, a must for all swimmers. The white beaches of the Pacific are but a walk away from the resort, offering the opportunity to get some color while basking in the brilliance of the great ocean. The golf courses here are world class, with the Plantation playing host to the annual Mercedes Invitational. Duval, Garcia, and Woods belong to the list of its champions, more than proving its depth and status as a world-class course.
