Hotels in Maui

Maui is the second-largest of the Hawaiian Islands and one of the most varied, packing volcanic summits, black-sand beaches, waterfalls, rainforests, and colonial-era harbour towns into a single island the size of Rhode Island. Sunrise at 3,055-metre Haleakala Crater, snorkelling at Molokini, and the twisting Road to Hana are three of the most iconic experiences in the state.

Beach resorts spread across Kaanapali, Wailea, and Kapalua on the west and south coasts, while upcountry towns like Makawao and Kula offer cooler weather, ranch country, and farm-to-table dining. Whale-watching between December and April, world-class windsurfing at Hookipa, and rich native Hawaiian culture round out the appeal.

Maui welcomes visitors respectfully following the 2023 Lahaina wildfires; many west-side businesses have reopened and travellers are encouraged to visit responsibly to support the local economy. A rental vehicle is essential to reach the island's diverse coasts and interior.
