Maui is Literally a Holiday Paradise
With people working longer hours than ever these days, the pressure to plan the perfect vacation can seem like a whole other job onto itself. Don’t stress, we’ve got your back and so does the beautiful island of Maui. The long time favorite tourist destination combined with these simple suggestions, make it a no brainer for the perfect getaway for someone who’s looking to escape it all.
Hit 30 Miles of Beach
The perfect way to start any tropical vacation is at the beach, and Maui more than delivers on this. With 120 miles of coastline, the island boasts over 30 miles of some of the planet’s most beautiful beaches covered in red, black, and white sands. Whether you’re looking to work on your tan while sipping on coconuts, or get into some water sports and experience epic waves, with over 80 beaches to choose from, there’s certainly one for you.
And no day in the sun is complete without an evening sunset, so be sure to check out Maluaka and Kapalua beaches – two local favorites for sunset gazing. You can even book your own private Maui vacation rental on the beach, and enjoy ocean views and beach cookouts at your doorstep every night.
Enjoy Nature
Besides breathtaking beaches, Maui has amazing wildlife that is impossible to ignore. Everywhere you look, it’s easy to find lush greenery, coral reefs, cliffs and even a volcano for you to explore throughout your stay.
If you happen to plan your getaway anytime from December till March, be sure to do some whale watching. Home to some of the best whale watching in the world, the coastal waters of Maui boast the largest concentration of these incredible animals. There are plenty of whale excursions to choose from, so be sure to book one as the perfect activity for any true nature lover.
Hit the Road Less Traveled
If the idea of venturing off the beaten path (or getting away from it all even while on your getaway) appeals to you, Maui offers plenty of options beyond the beach or resort that will be sure to satisfy even the most restless and adventurous spirits.
Personalize your trip by renting a car and cruising down the Hana Highway , and experience the “old Hawaii” away from the hustle and bustle of the resorts. Fondly referred to as the “highway to Heaven”, the road to old Hana is 52 miles of scenic road running along Maui’s eastern coastline. Made up of 620 curves and 59 bridges the road leads you through flourishing rainforests, flowing waterfalls, plunging pools, and dramatic seascapes. Feel free to pick and choose where you’d like to stop and be sure to keep in mind that it’s about the journey not the destination.
Malama Pono
Ultimately the most important part of your vacation is remembering to enjoy the moment and take care of your body and soul – or “Malama pono” as the Hawaiians say. Often planning and worrying about perfection takes us further away from it, whether it’s planning a trip or going about daily tasks.
The secret to the perfect getaway is to relax, focus on your own needs, and let the rest melt away. Fortunately, by choosing Maui as a vacation destination, most of the work is already done for you, so get ready to leave your troubles behind, soak up the sun, and say “Aloha”.
