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***

Aerial view of Maalaea condos, Maui

Maalaea / North Kihei

Maalaea is a quiet seaside village home to a troupe of oceanfront condos. A number of popular attractions are located just a short walk from Maalaea accommodations, like the Maui Ocean Center, da Playground live music venue, and tour boats at Maalaea Harbor. 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.

Maui Tiffany RoseAloha! Tiffany here. I've been blessed to call Maui home since 2011. With a background in the island's finest restaurants and hotels, guiding visitors to create unforgettable Maui memories is more than a skill I've mastered—it's a profound source of joy for me.

Over the years, I've cultivated a deep connection with the vibrant culture and people of this island. Maui, for me, is not merely a destination; it's a healing sanctuary.
