Central Maui Farmstay

One of the most sacred spots on the island, ‘Iao Valley—a National Natural Landmark whose biggest claim to fame is the 1,200 foot-high lava spire at its center—presents one photo opp after another, from lush vegetation along its valley floors to extensive views of the weathered central coast. As the site of one of Hawaii’s most brutal wars—the Battle of Kepaniwai in 1790—it’s rumored that its stream waters once ran red with the blood of victims. Poignancy is felt in the air here, but the same waters are now lucid and lovely, jutting up against moss-covered boulders and rocks that seem to dance between shadow and light. 4,000 acres of tranquility are enhanced by a steep but worthwhile climb up 133 steps, where you’ll be presented with 360-degrees vistas that practically beg to be captured. Plants abound on its Lookout Trail and Ethnobotanical Trail, but as “cloud supreme” (to which ‘Iao’s Hawaiian name translates), do know it’s best to arrive in the morning before the fog arrives. If you’d like to supplement your trip to the park with guided assistance, look no further than Valley Isle Excursions, whose tour of ‘Iao also includes a stop at Kepaniwai Heritage Gardens—a public space that honors the myriad cultures that shaped modern Maui.

Top Central Maui Hotel Reviews

The Westin Maui Resort & Spa, Ka'anapali

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great"

Maui Coast Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great comfortable stay. My partner and I stayed in the newer tower. The room was very clean, modernly designed and quite spacious for two even with a sitting area with a love couch. There was *plenty* of bench/surface space to place small luggages or belongings, which I always appreciate when traveling. The BR is equally spacious and has ample counter space as well. The pool area has plenty of lounges. The closest beach park is a 5 min walk. The cafe nextdoor is quite good for breakfast. If you have a later flight after checkout, all the hotel amenities are still available to you until you leave, which was great for us because our flight did not depart until 2300. So we really appreciated this! Definitely recommend this stay!"
