The Whaler is a 360-unit condominium built in 1975 at 2481 Kaanapali Parkway, Kaanapali. Its two 12-story towers sit on 6.67 acres directly on Kaanapali Beach, next to Whalers Village. Current The Whaler listings appear on this page and update daily from the Maui MLS, and you can save a search to get new listings by email.
Vacation rental zoning: The Whaler is hotel-zoned (H-2), so vacation rentals of under 180 days are allowed by zoning and the complex is not part of the Bill 9 phase-out. See every hotel-zoned condo for sale on Maui.

The Whaler is one of the few condominiums in the center of Kaanapali Beach, within walking distance of Whalers Village shopping and dining and the Kaanapali beach walk. Studios and one-bedroom units have recently listed from under $1 million, while oceanfront two-bedroom units list for several million. Some MLS listings here are timeshare intervals rather than whole units, so confirm what is being sold.
Hotel zoning lets owners keep renting to vacation guests after the Bill 9 phase-out, which is a large part of why hotel-zoned condos hold their value. Before you buy, review the association budget, reserves and any planned special assessments, ask about the rental program and front-desk options, and budget for the 11% state transient accommodations tax, 3% county TAT and 4.5% general excise tax on rental income. See our vacation rental investment guide and condo insurance and HOA fees guide.
