So you have decided to spend a very relaxing and romantic vacation in Maui. Good choice! Now you must select which side of the island and what resort you want to stay at.
One of the more popular areas travelers choose is Lahaina. Lahaina is located on the northwestern part of the island. It offers travelers many of the key aspects they are looking for on a vacation or honeymoon.
- First, Lahaina is home to some of the best restaurants on Maui. Many restaurants are located on the grounds of surrounding hotels and resorts but all are open for anyone to dine at. These restaurants have all types of cuisines, including Hawaiian, Italian, American and Asian. Some of the best steak, sushi and seafood Maui has to offer are served here!
- Second, Lahaina has spectacular shopping. This area is home to the popular Whalers Village where you can enjoy shopping at designer boutiques, local apparel stores, jewelry and several art and specialty shops. This Lahaina shopping headquarter is located just steps away from many nearby condos and hotels. The mall contains nearly 100 different store fronts.
- Lastly, Lahaina is a hub for many great activities, including whale watching. Eager sightseers set off from Lahaina harbor in Maui to catch some peeks of giant humpback whales. The coast off Lahaina is a popular destination for these whales to mate and give birth. Another popular activity in Lahaina is attending one of several award winning luau’s on the great island of Maui. These luau’s are highly entertaining shows and are great nightcaps to a perfect day!
These elements combined with the fact Lahaina overlooks neighboring islands of Lanai and Molokai in the background ensures a romantic setting for any couple! Now it’s time to decide which resort to stay at. If you’re struggling on where to stay in Hawaii, the reality is you really can’t go wrong with the majority of hotels.
