Kihei accommodations provide comfortable, affordable stays with plenty to do within walking distance. The luxurious Wailea area is situated in an upscale resort community surrounded by world-class golf courses, fine dining, fabulous shopping, and some of Maui’s loveliest beaches.
Hale Kamaole

The large (853 to 1277 sq ft), well-equipped one-, two-, and three-bedroom units here are likely the best value in South Maui.

West Maui: Kaanapali, Kahana & Napili
A stay in West Maui offers gorgeous white sand beaches, as well as beachfront resort areas and quiet nooks with a more secluded feel. Famous Kaanapali Beach extends for nearly three miles along the West Maui shoreline. Napili and Kahana offer lovely beaches at the northern end of West Maui. The ambiance here is laid-back, and the peaceful setting of hotels and resorts in Napili and Kahana provides guests with a sense of being off the beaten path, nestled on the bay.
***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 is open to responsible, mindful, and respectful visitors since October 8, 2023***
Lokelani Condos
Who said an oceanfront stay has to break the bank? At Lokelani Condos in Honokowai (just north of Kaanapali), you can enjoy five-star views and oceanfront living at an affordable price. Island breezes, the sound of the waves, and turtles swimming offshore are familiar friends at Lokelani Condos. Spend your days sunning by the pool, swimming in the ocean, or exploring all the West Maui has to offer. With one and two bedrooms, Lokelani can suit a variety of groups — from solo travelers to honeymooners to parents with kids in tow. Book direct for the best rate!
Pacific Paradise
Luxury meets convenience at this Kaanapali vacation home. Nestled a short walk from the famous Kaanapali Beach, Pacific Paradise is a serene escape with four bedrooms, four bathrooms, and luxe amenities. Dip in your private saltwater plunge pool or head to Pu’u Keka’a (Black Rock Kaanapali) for a morning snorkel. Whip up your favorite meals in the gourmet kitchen or outdoor grill or visit a nearby Kaanapali restaurant. The possibilities for fun and relaxation are endless! Book direct for the best possible price.
Maalaea
Maalaea is a peaceful little village situated on a scenic boat harbor, central to just about everything. Halfway between Kahului and Lahaina (just 10 minutes and 15 minutes respectively), Maalaea is also home to the Maui Ocean Center, one of Maui’s top attractions.
