Vistana Signature Experiences, developer of Sheraton Vacation Club and Westin Vacation Club resorts, announced The Westin Nanea Ocean Villas, Maui’s highly anticipated oceanfront resort, is now open.

“Maui is one of the world’s most desirable destinations, and we are excited to open our doors to this extraordinary resort,” said Steve Williams, chief operating officer, Vistana Signature Experiences. “The Westin Nanea Ocean Villas is a truly unique resort that combines Hawai’i’s rich heritage with the aloha spirit for which the islands are known.”

Situated on 16 acres of North Kā’anapali Beach, the hotel is comprised of one-, two- and three-bedroom villas designed to offer a relaxing haven complete with culturally inspired programs and distinctive Hawai’ian experiences.

“In the Hawaiian language, nanea means to be in a state of relaxation,” said Chris Rabang, general manager, The Westin Nanea Ocean Villas. “We are thrilled to begin welcoming guests and are looking forward to helping them embrace our resort’s namesake through meaningful experiences and signature Westin features.”

Amenities include an expansive lagoon-style swimming pool, oceanfront cabanas and a WestinWORKOUT Fitness Studio. Mauka Makai, the resort’s full-service restaurant, pays tribute to the local farming and fishing cultures of ancient Hawai’i, and the Inu Pool Bar provides a relaxing setting to enjoy oceanfront views.

Each villa offers the key amenities of home, combined with signature Westin touches, including king-sized Westin Heavenly Beds and Westin Heavenly Baths.
