WHERE IS THE BEST AREA TO STAY IN MAUI?

Planning a trip to Maui is always exciting — with its more than 80 beautiful beaches, idyllic waterfalls, amazing snorkeling, and nature-filled adventures scattered throughout the island — what’s not to love?

West Maui

If you ask visitors that enjoy upscale, resort-style vacations what the best part of Maui is to stay, they’ll most likely say West Maui.

Kapalua

Kapalua is a favorite destination for couples because of its upscale, romantic resorts and breathtaking shoreline, lined with white sand beaches.

Kaanapali

Kaanapali is best known for being the first planned resort area in Hawaii and one of Hawaii’s top honeymoon destinations.

Napili

If you like all of the amenities available in West Maui but prefer to stay in a more chill location with fewer crowds, Napili is the best place to be.

Lahaina

The best part of Lahaina is simply strolling down Front Street and taking in the cool stuff there — from historic stops to hip art galleries and cafes to snapping a photo in front of Maui’s oldest living banyan tree.

South Maui

South Maui is up there with West Maui in terms of popularity but with less glitz and nightlife.
