![]() ![]() ![]() If you’re looking for a condo (even a condo-tel/condo resort), you want this post.įinal Note (and a big favor to ask): If you find my blog and info AT ALL helpful, the absolute best thing you can do to help me out is to click through the links in this post to book your hotels. I’m just really picky about where I like to stay and what I recommend.Īlso, my specific recommendations in this post are for HOTELS AND RESORTS only. So if you have your eye on a certain place and I don’t recommend it here, it’s not necessarily a bad place to stay. There are a lot of good places to stay and your budget and circumstances may make you lean in a certain direction. Now here’s the deal…I am not going to recommend every single resort on Maui to you. In this post, I’m going to tell you my favorite hotels and resorts on Maui…all 15 of them! This is where Wal-Mart, Target, Costco, and Whole Foods are located, but you likely won’t spend much time in Kahului once you pick up your rental car and groceries. Wherever you decide to stay, you’ll fly into Kahului Airport (OGG), which is located on the north side of the island in the valley between the two mountains (Haleakala to the east and the West Maui Mountains to the west). Read more about the north shore here and the upcountry here. ![]() And while this is my favorite part of Maui, it’s not what most people are probably looking for in a Maui vacation. The beaches are beautiful on the north shore (really some of the prettiest on Maui) but they can get pretty windy and rough. Paia is a great town and the neighborhoods around it have some pretty cool beach rentals. The north shore has a funky hippy vibe with real community. North Shore/Upcountry: This is my FAVORITE part of Maui. You know, apart from hiking to hidden waterfalls and what not. As you might expect, there aren’t many places to stay around Hana. This could be because it’s super remote (you have to drive the Road to Hana just to get there). While this is arguably the most beautiful part of Maui, not many people stay here. One of the biggest questions I get asked about where to stay on Maui is whether to stay on the west side or the south side (Ka’anapali vs Wailea) and it’s a pretty nuanced answer so you can read a full post about that question here.Įast Maui/Hana: The most remote side of the island, East Maui is mostly referred to as Hana, as in the destination at the end of the Road to Hana. This is where the resort areas of Ma’alaea, Kihei, Wailea, and Makena are located. South Maui: Maui’s other major resort area is on the south side where the beaches tend to be flatter and wider than on the west side and the weather tends to be a bit hotter and drier. The west side is the most developed part of Maui and it’s a big draw for visitors. Ka’anapali, Lahaina, Kapalua, and Napili are all in the same general area, but all have very different vibes. West Maui: Majestic and rugged, West Maui’s mountains yield to beautiful white-sand beaches where you’ll find Maui’s oldest resort areas. Where to Stay in Mauiįirst up…Maui is a pretty big island (like 10-12 hours to drive all the way around) and while there’s two major areas where visitors stay, the island is divided into four main regions: Thank you for supporting the brands that make the Lincoln Travel Co possible. But of course, I only recommend my absolute favorites to you. ![]() This post may contain some affiliate links, which means I’ll make a little money on anything you choose to purchase. Well don’t worry friend, I’m going to break down my favorite places to stay on Maui by category so you can find the perfect spot for your vacation. Yep, there are so many great places that it can actually be kind of overwhelming trying to figure out where to stay on Maui. Maybe it’s because I used to live there and got to spend so much time really exploring, or maybe it’s just because it’s the best ) Not only does Maui have beautiful beaches, world class snorkeling, waterfalls, jungles, and more adventures than you can imagine, but Maui also has some of the best beach resorts IN THE WORLD. While all of the Hawaiian Islands are pretty spectacular, Maui will always be my favorite. ![]()
