At home in Paradise: Mahana 707

The Mahana is one of Kaanapali's best kept secrets. at the North end of Kaanapali, it's private, yet close to everything.  Meander along the beach path that extends along Kekaa Beach to Black Rock and the restaurants, resorts and shopping on Kaanapali Beach, with the iconic Duke's restaurant located next door.
