West Maui

With some of the island’s best beaches and most stunning views, it’s no surprise that visitors and even Hawaiian royalty have chosen West Maui as its preferred destination. Starting in the former whaling town and royal capital of Lahaina, history is around every corner. Take a stroll along historic Front Street and admire the artwork by world-renowned artists, the stunning views and finish up with a delicious bite of mouthwatering food or cocktail at sunset. Don’t miss the banyan tree in front of the Lahaina Courthouse that is about 150 years old and dominates the entire square, and features Art in the Park every second and fourth weekend of the month. And if you can, be sure to visit on Friday Night during Art Night where you can stroll and meet the artists while listening to live music all along beautiful Front Street.

Farther up the coast is the resort community of Kā‘anapali, with high-end resorts fronting one of the world’s best beaches. Enjoy a round of golf, a morning snorkel or catch some rays along with locals and visitors who can’t help coming back for more. Continuing up the coast, notable beaches include Kahekeli Beach Park and Nāpili Bay, perfect places for a relaxing day in the sun.

Next is Kapalua, a luxury traveler’s dream come true. Here, the Ritz-Carlton Hotel sits above stunning Fleming Beach, an ideal place for picnics and sunbathing. Fans of PGA golf can play at the famous Bay and Village courses at Kapalua Golf Club. And since you’re on the West Side, be sure to catch an unparalleled sunset as the sun slips behind the islands of Lāna‘i and Moloka‘i, and cheers to being in such a beautiful location.
