Nāpili is a district of Lahaina, Maui on theHawai'ian island ofMaui.[1] ForUnited States Census purposes, it is part of theNapili-Honokowaicensus-designated place, which also includes the neighborhoods of Kahana and Honokowai.
Nāpili is located on the west side of the island of Maui. It is considered to be a satellite town ofLāhainā, located approximately 6 miles to the south. The town is among the drier regions on the entire island, owing to its position on the leeward side of the mountains. Unlike some portions of Maui, Nāpili is characterised by rolling hills all the way to the coast. Much of its coastline consists of black volcanic rock, rather than beaches.[2]

Nāpili is a relatively working class town, and nativeHawaiian language is spoken extensively,[dubious –discuss] though most residents are at least somewhat fluent in English. Many of its residents work in the resort towns ofKāʻanapali andLāhainā, to the south. Insufficient geographies along the coast have limited desirability for resorts to develop along 'Nāpili's coast.
