Kapalua, Coastal resort district in Maui County, United States.
The seaside community stretches along the northwest coast of Maui, encompassing 5.86 square miles of land with multiple bays and beaches.
The area, formerly named Honokahua, transformed from pineapple plantations into a resort development through initiatives by the Maui Land & Pineapple Company.
The name Kapalua reflects Hawaiian language heritage, meaning 'two borders' in reference to the geographical features of neighboring Oneloa Bay and Honokahua Bay.
Visitors access the destination through Kapalua Airport, established in 1987, which provides connections to other Hawaiian islands throughout the year.
The district maintains a population density of 272.9 inhabitants per square mile, with 495 permanent residents recorded during the 2020 census.
