LISA DONLON – MARKETING MANAGER, WHALERS VILLAGE


Whalers Village is located in the Kaanapali Beach Resort on the island of Maui. There are many ways to get to here. Our favorite is by strolling along the turquoise waters of Kaanapali Beach. The beachwalk connects us with most hotels. Simply apply your sunscreen. Ask your concierge to point you in a direction. And go.
