Maui, Hawaii

What can be said about a destination that leaves so many speechless? We’ll start with “aloha.” A fascinating culture. A beautiful people. And a landscape that could have inspired Eden. It’s one of earth’s most exquisite destinations, and it’s begging to be experienced. Enjoy authentic melt-in-your-mouth poke and shave ice, or wake up early and see the sunrise like never before at Haleakalā. Feel like a night in? Relax on your lanai and let the sea breeze wash over you and listen as the buzz of this island paradise transitions into the calm quiet of a secluded beach. You can also explore Hyatt Residence Club Maui, Ka‘anapali Beach for your future travel plans.

Things to do on Maui

Explore

Walk the Ka‘anapali Beach Boardwalk as it curls around the coastline, or snorkel off the lava cliffs of Black Rock. Charter a boat to watch migrating humpback whales, or schedule a sunset cruise off Haleakala. And don’t forget to take in a traditional Hawaiian luau like “Drums of the Pacific,” and experience the dance, sounds, and tastes of Polynesia.

Relax

While few things could be more relaxing than a leisurely day on Ka‘anapali Beach, you might also want to consider an oceanfront lomi lomi massage at Kamaha‘o Spa, a Marilyn Monroe Spa. Or how about some Pacific stargazing, with champagne and chocolate, using one of Hawaii’s best recreational telescopes?

Shop

With a rich Polynesian whaling heritage, Maui is known for sporting treasures from the deep, some of which you might find at the Whalers Museum in the popular Whalers Village retail district with its art galleries and boutiques, or head to Makaweo, a rural arts community and home to the Hawaiian cowboys.

Taste

The cuisine of Maui is as diverse as its topography, ranging from the local bakeries of Wailuku to the farm-to-table fare of Lahaina. That includes locally sourced, Pacific Rim dishes at Japengo overlooking Ka‘anapali Beach. Or head to Makaweo, and order some shave ice or one of the village’s signature cream puffs.
