Behold... Puu Pehe, known as “Sweetheart Rock”.

This is Lanai’s most notable landmark and the setting for one of Hawaii’s epic legends.
Story goes a hottie princess from Maui was "captured" by a young warrior from Lanai. He made her his wife and he was so smitten with her beauty and... apparently so insecure that he was afraid to let other men see her so kept her in a sea cave near the rock when he was away. One day the weather suddenly changes, the surf slams the area, and... yup, one less princess. The warrior rushed back to the cave, but it was too late, he climbed the steep rock where he buried her in a tomb and then overcome with grief leapt to his death.

Moral of story might be... um, don't abduct women and lock them in caves.

The Westin Maui Resort & Spa, Ka'anapali

10/10 Excellent

"Great staff"

Aston Maui Kaanapali Villas

10/10 Excellent

"Have stayed at other properties on Kaanapali beach but the Maui villas were by far the best. Staff was so friendly and helpful. The Castaway cafe on site was delicious. Located on a beautiful stretch of beach and so convenient to other resorts by way of the beachwalk path. Will definitely return!"
