Why Maalaea Bay?
Location, Location, Location: Maalaea Bay is located mid-way between Lahaina and Kaanapali to the North and Wailea to the South. It is 3 miles from Kihei, a great place for moderate priced dining and shopping. The location cuts off hours of driving time to and from the best of what Maui has to offer, like a quick zip to Hana, the Volcano, and East Shore. We are only 15 minutes from the airport and the big box stores (Costco, etc.).
The Water: The ocean is very calm in Maalaea Bay due to an offshore reef. It is safe to swim there, especially for children. If you enjoy being knocked down by the big waves, go North to Lahania/Kaanapali or South to Kihei/Wailea.
The Weather: Maalaea Bay is on the driest part of the island. It rarely rains. You can be sitting on a sunny beach while watching the rain to the North and to the South. Why have your vacation spoiled by rain?
Dining: Maalaea Bay offers four wonderful oceanfront restaurants including The Waterfront Restaurant, that consistently wins “The Best Seafood Restaurant on Maui” award, Buzz’s Warf, Beach Bums Sports Bar, and the Maalaea Grill, all walking distance away.
