Best Maui Accommodations for Families 2026

 

Elikapeka Suite – Sands of Kahana

The Elikapeka Suite at the Sands of Kahana is a top-tier choice for traveling families. This 3-bed, 2-bath condo affords you plenty of space for groups of up to eight. Plus, it also includes a full kitchen, beach supplies, and a washer/dryer – non-negotiables for a family vacay. Oh, and did we mention the stunning ocean views and stylish decor?

The Sands of Kahana’s low-key beachfront location means you won’t have to contend with resort crowds, but amenities are still plentiful. Hang at the sandy beach out front, play in the swimming pool or kiddie pool, walk to nearby restaurants, or eat at the on-site restaurant and bar. Snorkeling, beaches, shops, activities, and more restaurants are just a short drive up the road in either direction. The Elikapeka Suite at the Sands of Kahana is the perfect home base!

 

Maui Coast Hotel

Located in central Kihei, the Maui Coast Hotel is one of our top recommendations for families traveling with teens. Maui Coast Hotel features affordable, spacious rooms and suites just steps from some of Kihei’s best beaches. In fact, there’s a ton to do nearby – from surf lessons at the Cove and pickup games of beach volleyball at Kamaole Beach I to hula shows and local shopping at South Maui Gardens. Plus, Maui Coast Hotel offers free cruiser bikes and a complimentary Kihei shuttle.

There’s plenty to do back at the hotel, too. Hang by the pool, play a quick game of pickleball, or try out one of the two restaurants, Kihei Cafe and Miso Phat (which are both longstanding Maui local favorites!).

 

Fairmont Kea Lani

If you’re seeking a luxury getaway, look no further than the Fairmont Kea Lani. The Fairmont is Maui’s only all-suite and villa hotel. The smallest room starts at 860 square feet, which means you can say goodbye to sharing a cramped room with the entire family.

The Fairmont offers extensive family-friendly amenities. There’s a waterslide, a separate adult pool, and seemingly endless activities, from an on-site cultural center to canoe paddling and more. The resort also features a wide range of restaurants and eateries, so you won’t have to go far to satisfy picky eaters.

If you’re feeling extra boujee, book a private villa (complete with your own plunge pool) overlooking Polo Beach.

​

Wailea Ekahi

Wailea Ekahi is an undercover jewel. This property is great for spending quality time with the family. Set on 34 acres overlooking Keawakapu Beach, beach days, pool hangs, and home-cooked meals become the daily rhythm here. Full kitchens and beachside BBQ grills make mealtime a breeze, but if you’re itching to explore Maui’s dining scene, the Shops at Wailea is just a short walk away.

This property is close enough to Wailea to easily enjoy all the area has to offer, yet far enough to escape the resort-town crowds. It’s easy to sneak some “me time” in here – whether you enjoy discounted rates of golf at nearby courses or take advantage of the property’s tennis courts and four luxe pools.

 

Maui Kamaole

Set on a hill overlooking the South Kihei coast, Maui Kamaole is a sprawling condo property with affordable 1-2 bedroom units (sleeps up to six). This spot makes a great home base for a low-key beach vacation. Four of South Maui’s best beaches are within walking distance – the closest being Kamaole Beach III – as well as Kihei Boat Ramp, a snorkel tour hub. Wailea is about a 3-5 minute drive away.

This family-friendly property is a great place to unwind after a long day of exploration. Relax in one of the two pools or jacuzzis, grill up an al fresco meal, and chit-chat with other traveling families in the common areas.

 

Honua Kai K248

Honua Kai K248 is a favorite family-friendly unit in West Maui. This 1-bed, 1-bath unit features a stellar ocean view and is just steps to the sand at North Kaanapali (Kahekili) Beach.

Honua Kai is a popular property for families thanks to its in-unit full kitchens and extensive kid-friendly pool area, with waterslides, waterfalls, and other fun features. There’s also an excellent on-site restaurant, Dukes, for easy meals out. K248 in particular is extra kid-friendly. This unit is stocked with kid supplies like a travel crib and booster seat, plus beach gear for the whole family to use.

 

Moana Hideaway

Moana Hideaway is a spectacular beachfront vacation home in North Kihei. This private home is ideal for multi-generational getaways, featuring four bedrooms and four bathrooms (a 3-bed, 3-bath house with an additional 1-bed, 1-bath cottage, sleeps up to eight). This half-acre oceanfront property features a gorgeous pool, hot tub, cabana pavilion, and large lawn that stretches to the sand.

Inside, enjoy elegant beachside decor blended with the comforts of home – including central AC, a gourmet kitchen, and indoor-outdoor living. With reef-protected swimming out front and some of South Maui’s best beaches just down the road, this luxurious home is a perfect choice for an unforgettable family vacation.
