Honokahua Preservation Site


 
Kapalua
West Maui

This is the most important historical site at Kapalua. The site was unearthed when digging began for The Ritz Carlton, Kapalua. When the importance of the discovery was realized, the hotel was moved inland. The area, which contains over 900 ancient Hawaiian burial sites dating between 610 and 1800, has been recognized as a sacred site.
 
 

Hawaiians believe that from such a place ancestor spirits continue to lovingly watch over the land and its people. The area is now carpeted with lush grass and bordered by native naupaka bushes. Also at the site is a portion of the 16th Century Alaloa or King's Trail, a footpath that once encircled the island.

 
 

Useful Information:

  • Weekly "Sense of Place" tours are offered to visitors by employees of The Ritz Carlton, Kapalua
  • View the area but DO NOT enter the actual burial grounds
  • Please show respect, as this is a religious site
 
 

Directions:
Take Lower Honoapiilani Road to the end where it becomes Office Road. There is a small parking lot here. Park and walk along the edge of the Ritz Carlton golf course toward the ocean and Makalua-puna Point. The Preservation Site will be on your right. It is well marked with informational signs.
