KAPALUA – Celebrating its five-year anniversary, Montage Kapalua Bay has announced significant property enhancements to the 24-acre, picturesque resort.

Last year, all 50 of the residential-style, multi-bedroom suites were refreshed, providing guests with an elevated luxury experience.

This year, Montage Kapalua Bay has unveiled a new dinner-only restaurant, The Hideaway at Kapalua Bay, as well as a revamped menu at its signature restaurant, Cane & Canoe.

At Spa Montage Kapalua Bay, residents and guests will now experience premier Swiss skincare line, Valmont, one of Montage Hotels & Resorts’ new brand partners.

In honor of the milestone, Montage Kapalua Bay is also offering a Fifth Anniversary Package to invite guests to fully experience the resort.

“We pride ourselves in offering guests quality service and immersive experiences, all while keeping programming and menus fun and fresh at Montage Kapalua Bay,” said Richard Holtzman, vice president and managing director at Montage Kapalua Bay.

“In celebration of the resort’s five-year anniversary, the team is excited to unveil new offerings… which include the opening of The Hideaway, a new dining experience for guests to kick back and take in the casual, relaxed environment of Kapalua Bay.”

Maui’s new dining destination, The Hideaway, located adjacent to Cane & Canoe, is designed as a casual and welcoming gathering space, ideal for family, friends and locals alike. Led by Chef de Cuisine Robert Barrera, The Hideaway caters to guests who are longing to unwind and reconnect over island-inspired seasonal meals and freshly crafted cocktails. Signature dishes include Big Eye Tuna Tartare, West Coast Oysters, Grilled Chicken Sandwich, and Coconut Shrimp Satay.

Presenting an intimate, contemporary Hawaiian setting, the restaurant welcomes guests with indoor and outdoor seating and sweeping views of the resort’s gardens. The Hideaway at Kapalua Bay is open for dinner daily from 4:30 to 10 p.m.

Cane & Canoe’s signature dining experience has been elevated to an even higher level with a focus on the finest cuts and freshest seafood on Maui. Signature dishes and USDA prime cuts include Tomahawk Rib Chop, Wagyu Ribeye, Ora King Salmon Sashimi, Big Eye Ahi Poke and more. Throughout the menu, Chef Barrera introduces a handful of creative dishes that feature a unique twist to classics, such as Keahole Lobster Pot Pie and Roasted Cauliflower “Steak.” Cane & Canoe is open for dinner daily from 5 to 9 p.m.

Under Montage Hotels & Resorts’ new partnership with Valmont, Spa Montage Kapalua Bay has expanded its existing luxury skincare menu with new signature treatments, specifically chosen for the destination and guests’ needs. Among these new experiences, Valmont has created an exclusive treatment for Spa Montage, The Masterpiece Facial, which combines the power of a dual cleansing process with six masks, including a complete collagen treatment for the face, neck, decollete and eyes. Additionally, Spa Montage has introduced new classes led by Christina Felty and Paul Balmer of Shanti Sound Healing, such as Sacred Sound Bath & Meditation and Cacao & Sound Ceremony.
