Things to do in Maui

Kaanapali Beach is a spectacular 5-kilometre stretch of golden sand and crystal-clear water. You’ll feel like royalty in this luxurious paradise setting, whose shores were once treaded on by Hawaiian kings and queens. This renowned beach was the first planned resort in Hawaii and has since become a model for resorts around the globe. Lie back and listen to the sounds of the Pacific Ocean gently lapping against the shore of this tropical oasis.

A wide expanse of soft, pearly white sand is the jewel in the crown of Wailea Beach. This palm-fringed paradise is the stuff of dreams and keeps this fashionable resort firmly at the luxurious end of the travel market. The community offers all the amenities you could wish for to enjoy an idyllic, relaxing holiday on one of the most beautiful stretches of coast in Maui.

At Haleakalā National Park, you can step inside volcanic craters, walk through rain forest and swim in freshwater pools.

The year-round appeal of Napili Bay can be credited to its first-class facilities. The wide choice of accommodation makes it one of Maui’s most popular destinations for honeymoons and romantic getaways, while its sheltered waters and palm-fringed golden sands provide perfect conditions for swimming, sunbathing and simply doing nothing.

Kapalua is a small tourist region located in the northwest of Maui. The beach is flanked on either side by rock formations that stretch out in a crescent shape like two arms hugging the warm waters. It's no wonder that its name means "embracing the sea". With its powdery sands and clear blue waters, you too will find yourself embracing this little slice of heaven on earth. This natural fortification acts as a defence against the elements, creating a calm and safe oasis that is perfect for swimming and snorkelling all year round.

Keawakapu Beach in southwest Maui is a welcome break from the hustle and bustle of some of the more crowded beaches nearby. Also as it’s wider than its sandy sisters, locating the perfect spot to sit back and soak up the sun won't be an issue. Impressive beach houses, restaurants, apartments and hotels line the beachfront while palm trees are dotted along the shore, providing shade for those who like to venture out in the early morning to do some yoga on the cushiony sands.
