ENHANCING A STORIED BEACHFRONT ESCAPE

The revitalized Royal Lahaina Resort & Bungalows is a beachfront escape designed to welcome guests as family through refreshed accommodations and enhanced spaces that encourage connection and lasting memories.

LAHAINA, MAUI, HAWAII, UNITED STATES

Nestled along one of Maui’s most storied shorelines long known as a retreat location for Hawaiian royalty, Royal Lahaina Resort welcomes guests from around the world, offering a curated destination experience that also served a vital role as a community resource during a time of need.

Set across 27 acres on Maui’s iconic Kaanapali Beach, Royal Lahaina Resort features 127 retro‑chic bungalows thoughtfully refreshed as part of a comprehensive revitalization. The transformation enhanced the guest arrival experience through a refreshed lobby and newly designed dining spaces, and introduced a new oceanfront spa that complements the two updated oceanfront pools, creating a cohesive wellness retreat in a beautiful beachfront setting.

Alongside welcoming guests, the resort continues to serve the community that surrounds it. Following the 2023 Lahaina Wildfires, Royal Lahaina Resort provided shelter and essential services to displaced residents, demonstrating the true spirit of hospitality and a deep commitment to community care.

Rider Levett Bucknall (RLB) provided full Project Management and Cost Consultancy services for the revitalization of Royal Lahaina Resort & Bungalows, guiding strategic budgeting during preconstruction and coordinating stakeholders throughout delivery.
