April is a lovely time to visit Maui. The weather is breezy and warm, some whales are jumping, and spring is in the air. After the spring break crowds head home, April offers a quiet reprieve before the summer rush. If you’re visiting in April, check out this month’s Hot Picks for accommodation!
West Maui: Kaanapali/Kahana/Napili
With golden-hued beaches, epic snorkeling, and restaurants and accommodations galore, West Maui is the location of choice for countless Maui visitors. In April, scores of athletes flock to the shores of West Maui for the famed Maui Marathon. Starting in Kahului, the coveted Boston Qualifier race travels a 26 mile route and culminates at the Kaanapali Resort.
***We’re heartbroken after a devastating wildfire tore through our historic town of Lahaina on August 8, 2023, burning down 5 square miles of local homes and businesses. The rebuild will take years, and we’re monitoring the situation closely to keep our readers as best informed as possibly can. West Maui reopened to responsible, mindful, and respectful visitors on October 8, 2023***

However, one of Maalaea’s biggest boons is its central location. The village is located mere minutes away from Kihei, Kahului, and Wailuku. Lahaina is about 20 minutes away. You’ll be closer to all corners of the island here than if you stay in Wailea or Lahaina. Whether you make the trek to Hana for the annual East Maui Taro Festival or take a leisurely drive to Haleakala National Park for National Park Week, Maalaea is as central as it gets.
