Overlooking Kaanapali Beach, the new Halona Kai event lawn is more than 9,500 square feet with capacity for up to 500 guests for seated events or receptions. The area has been designed with state-of-the-art acoustic and audio/visual systems and wired with 200-amp outlets and data and television cabling, creating seamless technology connectivity.

KAANAPALI – The Hyatt Regency Maui Resort and Spa last week announced the completion of a sustainability-focused, Maui-inspired renovation, which included the creation of a new outdoor space named the Halona Kai event lawn and expansions to the resort’s Regency Club and Monarchy Ballroom.

The meeting and event space enhancements, with modern Hawaiian designs and innovative sustainability features, improve lighting and air quality, as well as reduce energy usage.

The newly redesigned Regency Club has been relocated to the resort’s lobby level for easy accessibility and now offers a larger outdoor terrace with views of the ocean and the resort’s Oriental Gardens.

The resort’s remodeled Monarchy Ballroom is now more than 18,000 square feet with flexibility to be divided into seven breakout rooms. It now features an open-air pre-function space.

The architect for the resort’s renovation project was Los Angeles-based Houston/Tyner, specializing in luxury resorts, high-end commercial spaces and estate homes.

The enhanced Monarchy Ballroom has been transformed into a sophisticated and contemporary room with more than 18,000 square feet of space. Bold colors are inspired by the island’s dramatic sunsets and vibrant floral colors. Leading into the Monarchy Ballroom, the renovated Monarchy Terrace space emphasizes natural lighting with an open-air walkway and features a unique overhead design with views of the lush Hawaiian landscaping.

Clear on Black, also out of Los Angeles, designed the interior spaces.
