Description

Welcome to the land of Aloha! This is your chance to bid on a week-long stay at the fabulous, award-winning Westin Ka'anapali Ocean Resort Villas in Maui. Located on the pristine, world-famous Ka'anapali Beach, this beautiful resort offers everything you could want for a dream Hawaiian vacation.

Instead of just a hotel room, here you have a lovely studio condo complete with a kitchenette, king bed, sleeper sofa, WiFi, flat screen TV and more. Once you have settled in, wander down to the beach for a swim or a walk along a mile-long beach that is frequently ranked as one of the best in the world. It is a terrific place to snorkel, too. There are no resort or self-parking fees. And you can book beach activities and equipment rentals for fun things such as diving, paddleboarding and kayaking right on the property at an additional cost. With multiple pools, restaurants, a spa, ocean activities, fitness centers, tennis courts, classes, a cultural center and more, there is plenty to do. Or, relax and do nothing!

When you want to explore Maui, resort concierges can book your activities all over the island or direct you to beautiful hikes, lava tubes, local spots and waterfalls... just ask. There is even a free shuttle to select nearby shopping and restaurant areas when you don?t want to drive.

Maui also offers wonderful labyrinth opportunities. This Maui trip also offers wonderful labyrinth opportunities. About a 10 minute drive from the resort, you can walk the donor?s favorite Maui labyrinth. This outdoor, Chartres-style labyrinth was built in 2005 as a peace project. Situated on a jut at the edge of the ocean, it offers a breathtaking view of sea, islands and coast. (Part of the access to this location is rocky and not ADA accessible.) You may also walk the two labyrinths at the lovely Sacred Garden, owned by Eve Eschner Hogan, a Maui resident known to many labyrinth enthusiasts as a writer, speaker and retreat leader.

One more thing... by bidding on tis trip you have the opportunity to do TWICE the good!  In the wake of last year's fire, you might wonder if now is a good time to visit Maui.  It is!  While Lahaina is recovering, Maui is welcoming visitors with aloha.  The resort area north of Lahaina, where the condo is located, was physically unaffectd by the first.  But the people who live and work on Maui need visitors to sustain their jobs, care for the families and rebuild their homes.  By coming to Maui and taking part in activitis, dining out, visiting the shops and maybe even volunteering if you like, you are no only supporting Veriditas, but helping the people of Maui stay on their island home and rebuild their lives.  And how great would that feel?
