Built around Ka'anapali's iconic Black Rock lava promontory — the Sheraton hosts the nightly torch-lighting and cliff-diving ceremony, has the best snorkeling on Ka'anapali Beach directly off Black Rock, and offers strong Marriott Bonvoy value at a lower price point than its Ka'anapali neighbors.
Why We Chose It
The Sheraton Maui occupies the northern end of Ka'anapali Beach at Black Rock — the lava headland that is the defining landmark of the beach and one of the top snorkeling spots on Maui's west shore. The nightly torch-lighting and cliff-diving ceremony held at Black Rock is a Ka'anapali tradition that all guests witness regardless of hotel, but Sheraton guests have front-row access. The 508 rooms wrap around the headland; the pool deck faces south along the full length of Ka'anapali Beach. Good Marriott Bonvoy value for a Ka'anapali beachfront position.

- Best snorkeling on Ka'anapali Beach — directly off Black Rock
- Nightly torch-lighting and cliff-diving ceremony on property
- Best Marriott Bonvoy value on Ka'anapali Beach
