Napili Shores Maui by Outrigger is a bit removed from the more touristy Ka’anapali offering a laid-back, country vibe. The resort is a hidden treasure. From the road you may miss this unassuming, two-story resort but once past the lobby, a secret world will be revealed. Walk along the resort’s beautiful grounds with Plumeria Trees on your way to the two pools. Challenge the kids to see who wins the title of Family’s Fastest Swimmer. Once you've crowned a winner, have a family cookout thanks to the bbq grills. After lunch, grab your beach gear and take the two-minute stroll to Napili Bay Beach where your family will have fluffy sand and calm waves to play in. Before you know it, it’ll be time for dinner. Good news! Two great restaurants, Gazebo and Imu Bar-B-Que serving succulent Maui-style BBQ, are located at the resort.

Spacious studio and one-bedroom condos at the Napili Shores sleep three to four guests. Studios offer garden, ocean or oceanfront views while one-bedroom condos offer garden or ocean views. You’ll have plenty of room for blankets, the kid's toys and stuffed animals, and even an imaginary friend or two! Cook a meal in your full kitchen and let the little ones help out. Don’t worry if things get messy (that’s the fun of it!) the resort has an on-site laundry facility. But wait, there’s more! Condos have cable TVs with DVD players, perfect for family movie night. Pack favorite movies from home and gather the family on the couch – don’t forget the popcorn! The winner of the Family’s Fastest Swimmer contest gets to pick the first movie.

The golfers in your crew will appreciate Kapalua Golf Club’s Plantation Course; it’s just a short walk from the resort. It was named the best course in Hawaii by Golf Week for ten consecutive years. The course was designed by Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw and is home to the PGA Tour’s Tournament of Champions. Whalers Village is an outdoor shopping mall that offers a variety of shopping and dining options. First, get your caffeine fix at Island Vintage Coffee. Pick up a new pair of sunglasses at Sunglass Hut, cosmetics at Sephora, activewear at Lululemon. Check out the selection of fun shirts at Tommy Bahama. Treat yourself to a new handbag from Louis Vuitton or Kate Spade New York or jewelry from Pandora, Maui Divers or Alex and Ani. When it’s time for lunch try Leilani’s on the Beach, Joey’s Kitchen or Nikki’s Pizza. For dessert, surprise the kids with a treat from Yogurtland or Häagen-Dazs.
