Montage Hotels & Resorts is expanding its luxury hotel collection with the addition of Montage Kapalua Bay.  Montage will manage the property, formerly the site of the iconic Kapalua Bay Hotel and most recently The Residences at Kapalua Bay, on behalf of the resort’s ownership group.

The expansive resort, overlooking Kapalua Bay on Maui’s northwest coast, will undergo a multi-million dollar upgrade including 56 Montage-branded residences a 50-room all-suite Montage hotel.

Located on the island of Maui, Montage Kapalua Bay will join Montage Laguna Beach, celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2013, Montage Beverly Hills and Montage Deer Valley under the Montage umbrella.

“We are passionate about capturing the unique sense of spirit and place of the destinations in which we operate,” said Alan Fuerstman, founder and CEO, Montage Hotels & Resorts. “The aloha spirit of Maui and the graciousness of the Hawaiian people are the perfect complement to Montage’s style of service, and this resort is an ideal addition to our portfolio.”

Like its fellow Montage hotels, Montage Kapalua Bay will celebrate art and artisanship in many forms, including visually, and through culinary and spa offerings.  Guests will experience an extraordinary blend of relaxation, rejuvenation and activation, with every detail celebrating the richness of the Hawaiian culture.

Montage Hotels & Resorts will assume management of the property immediately.  While the improvement program is being completed, the property will continue to operate as The Residences at Kapalua Bay on an interim basis.
