Many locals and regular travelers to Hawaii vote for Maui, which often gets rated as the best island in the world for lots of things – best honeymoon island, most beautiful island, best island for snorkeling, best for diving, best for surfing and even best for whale-watching. Hiking, boogie boarding, building sand castles, learning Hawaiian songs and dances, and stringing leis are just a sampling of what’s available.
Each Hawaiian Hotel and condo has specials running at various times of the year. Certain restrictions and blackout dates may apply. Kaanapali Beach is located approximately 4 miles northwest of Lahaina, the former Hawaiian capital and whaling port and is nestled between the blue Pacific and majestic mountain slopes covered with sugar cane fields. This western coast of Maui is known for its scenic beauty, picturesque shorelines, lavish resorts, superb beaches and ideal year-round weather. There is a lovely restaurant with a live Hawaiian music show every evening. We truly felt as though we were in Paradise.
