International Colony Club has Plantation-Style Cottages Near Kaʻanapali Beach
International Colony Club offers something rare on Maui’s west coast: stand-alone cottage-style accommodations set on 10 lush acres directly across the street from Kāʻanapali Beach. With 45 individual cottages, two swimming pools, and no resort fees, this unique property delivers the privacy of a private home with the convenience of a resort location — all at a fraction of what beachfront hotels charge.
Each cottage at International Colony Club functions as a private retreat, separated from neighbors by tropical landscaping and mature trees. Units feature fully equipped kitchens, spacious living areas, and private outdoor spaces where you can relax surrounded by the sounds of birdsong and rustling palms rather than the hum of resort corridors. The stand-alone design means no shared walls, no elevator waits, and no hallway noise.
The property’s two swimming pools provide freshwater relaxation when you want a break from the ocean, and the lush 10-acre grounds are perfect for morning walks or evening strolls. Perhaps most notably, International Colony Club does not charge resort fees — a rarity in the Kāʻanapali area that represents real savings over the course of a week-long stay.
Location is a major advantage. The resort sits directly across the street from Kāʻanapali Beach, consistently rated among Hawaiʻi’s top beaches by Go Hawaiʻi. Whaler’s Village is within walking distance, offering waterfront dining, shopping, and the iconic Black Rock snorkeling point where green sea turtles and tropical fish congregate. Kapalua and its championship golf courses are a short drive north, while the Honokōwai Marketplace provides convenient groceries nearby.
For nature lovers, the Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary waters off the Kāʻanapali coast bring outstanding whale watching from December through April. Day trips to Haleakalā National Park or the Road to Hāna round out the island experience.
