Last week, I wrote about American Express offering higher than usual welcome bonuses on all of their co-branded credit cards with Marriott Bonvoy. With these offers, you can earn up to 5 free nights or 200,000 Marriott Bonvoy points, all from just one welcome bonus offer! If you plan to pick up one of those cards, then you’ll have a new property where you can out those points or free night certificates to good use, starting next year, as the St. Regis brand returns to Hawaii.

Maui gets the St.Regis Brand
Marriott International has signed an agreement to bring The Resort at Kapalua Bay on Maui’s northwest coast into its luxury portfolio. Marriott’s management of the property went into effect on March 14, 2026 and the resort is now part of Marriott Bonvoy. It is slated to officially join the St. Regis Hotels & Resorts portfolio in 2027, following a renovation. At the moment, you can visit their website here. However, you’ll not be able to make reservations right away as the cash and points rate don’t show up for 2027.
The Details
Set on approximately 25 acres of pristine oceanfront within the larger Kapalua Resort community, The Resort at Kapalua Bay features 146 expansive, multi-bedroom, ocean-view residences ranging from 1,774 sq ft to over 4,050 sq ft. Guests have access to championship golf courses and tennis courts, a 40,000 sq. ft. spa with 19 treatment rooms and ocean-view wellness facilities, direct access to Kapalua Bay Beach and several outdoor pools including a multi-tiered cascading lagoon pool.
This also marks St. Regis returning to Hawai’i. In 2022, the former St. Regis Princeville Resort rebranded as the 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay, leaving the brand without a presence in the islands.
The Pundit’s Mantra
A St. Regis is about to open next year in Maui, spread across 25 oceanfront acres in Maui, with residences up to 4,000 square feet, a world-class spa, championship golf and direct beach access.
