Best Beach in Maui

"While all of the beaches in South Kihei, Wailea, and Makena are splendid—think: white sand beaches, aqua waters, swaying palms—Keawakapu seems to have been perfectly positioned to bestow the best in sunset views. Nestle down on the beach’s bank of grass and swoon as the sun disappears between Lanai and West Maui’s edge. And when darkness hits?. Meander up the way to Monkeypod."

"Its black wall was created by lava flows and can be viewed from Kaanapali Beach but is not accessible by Kahekili Beach Park. Called Pu’u Keka’a in Hawaiian it was believed to be the spot spirits leaped from to join their ancestors. It is considered bad luck to take a black rock from the area as Hawaiians believe that those unlucky souls unable to find their way to their ancestors attached themselves to the black rocks."

"White Rock is a beach just south of the Wailea hotel area on a stretch of sand dominated by multi-million dollar homes. No beaches are private in all of Hawaii so despite the impression these home owners might be trying to give, rest assured that you belong. The entire beach is about 300 yards long and there is some snorkeling worth exploring at either end."

"Snorkelers can often be found exploring around the rocky point near Palau'ea Beach. Swimmers also enjoy the sandy, gently sloping bottom of the ocean near this more secluded beach for swimming."

"Connecting Maalaea Beach and Sugar Beach, this County Beach Park is a great place to enjoy an afternoon picnic or take a peaceful walk."

"Perched above the cliffs overlooking the Pacific, this open-air sushi restaurant welcomes in the gentle trade winds. Often you can catch live music paired with their top grade nigiri, sashimi, and specialty rolls. For something cooked, the black cod poached in butter with a lobster cream sauce or the pork chop in plum wine sauce with a side of potato bacon hash are a must."

"This is truly one of the best (if not the best) restaurants I have ever been to!. The food, service, ambiance, and scenery are all exceptional."

The spa features ten upscale treatment rooms designed as your personal beachside sanctuary, a state-of-the-art fitness center, a private adult pool, and an apothecary retail shop stocked with luxury spa products."

"The last Friday of every month, the Grand Wailea hosts a Spalicious: Divas Night Out event at the Grand Wailea Spa, complete with manis, pedis and hors d’oeuvres. I was thoroughly tempted to go the evening we arrived because of the fortunate timing, but my budget and my “Hey honey, I’m ditching you with two kids to spend the afternoon at the spa” line afforded me only one spa visit during our stay. Although the Spalicious party sounded like an amazing event (hello bathing in chocolate pools!!), I wanted my experience to be one of quiet calm and relaxation."
