Napili Plaza: Supporting Local Businesses and Community Growth

For nearly 35 years, Napili Plaza has been more than just a shopping center—it has been a gathering place for the West Maui community. With over 15 merchants, including coffee shops, boutiques, and dining establishments, the plaza continues to be a vital hub for locals and visitors alike. A Community Staple Michael Oh, Senior Property Manager at Alexander & Baldwin, highlights the plaza's significance: 'Napili Plaza serves as a place where locals and visitors come together for daily essentials, a quick coffee, or a sit-down meal with family and friends.' Conveniently located near Ka'anapali and Kapalua, the plaza remains an accessible and welcoming destination. Economic Impact and Recovery Efforts The businesses at Napili Plaza contribute significantly to the local economy, providing essential goods, services, and employment opportunities. Many of the merchants are family-owned, fostering an environment where entrepreneurs can thrive. In the aftermath of the Lahaina fire, Napili Plaza played a crucial role in supporting the community. 'The center and our merchants stepped up by providing much-needed aid, transitioning into an emergency response hub for first responders and a central distribution center for displaced residents,' Oh explains. Today, the plaza continues to aid in economic recovery efforts. Must-Visit Businesses at Napili Plaza Visitors to Napili Plaza will find a variety of unique experiences.
