Mokapu Beach - Wailea - Maui

Mokapu Beach is a place where at the resorts you can watch spectacular Maui sunsets right from your room. View humpback whales breeching and spouting with their calves when they return to the warm waters of Maalaea Bay. A fantastic experience and a beautiful hotels - no others like it. "We booked the Renaissance because we had two extra days in Maui after our stay in a favorite condo in the same area in Wailea. We upgraded the room to an ocean view on the 4th floor. One of Maui's best snorkel or scuba spots. Abundant marine life including many turtles".

Nestled along Maui's spectacular southern coastline, Wailea is home to world-class resorts, nationally acclaimed beaches like Mokapu Beach, challenging golf courses and first-rate dining and shopping venues. The Wendy's Champions Skins Game is held in beautiful Wailea and brings together some of today's top golfers. Hotel rooms with air-conditioning are remarkably affordable for the location. A pretty Maui wedding location with a lush grassy area, located at the South end of the Maui Prince Hotel beach. Most ceremonies take place on the lawn area, which has some palm trees, and various tropical vegetation.

We prefer South Maui over West Maui because it is drier and less windy, and also because West Maui is too remote and crowded for our tastes.

Haleakala crater creates an exotic landscape at the resorts. And most resorts amenities include championship golf on five 18-hole courses, tennis on two courts, and access to five beaches. There are water sports, hot tubs, swimming pools, and four restaurants and lounges on site. Fronting the resort, the soft sands of Mokapu Beach offer a safe haven for swimming, sunbathing and a variety of water activities.

Continue straight to the parking lot. Facilities include restrooms and an outdoor shower. Sparkling white crescent beaches, brilliant sunsets and some of nature's most breathtaking natural wonders create the unforgettable setting for the Renaissance Wailea Beach Resort. This 345-room deluxe resort is located on more than fifteen acres of tropical paradise on pristine Mokapu Beach.

The beautiful arboretum is to display and identify tropical trees in a natural setting. The climate is warm and humid with frequent showers. The water teams with tropical fish and other marine life. No kayak launching is permitted here. This 345-room resort is located on more than 15 acres of tropical paradise, on pristine Mokapu Beach. Lush gardens, waterfalls, and a view of the soaring, 10,000-foot-high Mt. Haleakala.

On calm days, the snorkeling here can rival that of Ulua and Keawakapu, and when the surf is up the offshore body boarding can be as good as anywhere in the area. Facilities here are top notch, with shaded parking and paved walkways. At Ulua/Mokapu Beach you can enter on either side of the rocky point and snorkel along the reef. The dive is good for both beginner snorkeling or scuba diving. The area around the rocky point at the south end of Ulua is the best.
