July Hot Picks: Best Places to Stay on Maui this Summer
July is one of the liveliest months of the year on Maui. In July, the island is bustling with summer crowds and 4th of July celebrations– from the Makawao Rodeo and parade that pays homage to the town’s Paniolo culture to the firework shows that light up Wailea and Front Street. Whether you’re looking to retreat to Maui on a relaxing getaway or plan on getting amongst the fun, we’ve got a slew of accommodation options for every type of traveler. Here are the best places to stay on Maui this July.
South Maui: Kihei/Wailea
Local life and luxury mingle in South Maui. While Kihei is dotted with visitor accommodations, it is also one of the biggest population centers on Maui. As a result, the town is steeped in local character, which manifests in locally-owned shops, restaurants, and a laid-back ambiance. Meanwhile, the Wailea area is dripping in luxury. This upscale community is surrounded by golf courses, high-end resorts, upmarket shopping centers, and fine dining. Learn more about South Maui in our 8 Reasons Why You Should Stay in Kihei post.
