Maui has a variety of accommodations from high end resorts to budget friendly condos, from big name hotels to one of a kind Airbnbs.
However, when most people ask me, “Where should I stay?”, they usually mean, “What part of the island should I make my base while on Maui?”
To answer this question, my response is “It depends.”
In general, Maui is divided into 6 areas, each with its own unique qualities.
- Central Maui
- North Maui
- South Maui
- West Maui
- East Maui
- Upcountry
CENTRAL MAUI
Central Maui is home to the main commercial and governmental center of Maui. You will land in Central Maui at the airport in Kahului and get your supplies at Costco, Walmart, or Target. Wailuku is full of historic charm that one could experience in the shops and restaurants that cater mainly to locals. Many locals call Central Maui home. Visitors, however, prefer to stay in the resorts or condos in West or South Maui.
NORTH MAUI
Pa’ia Town in the North Shore is Maui’s own Haight-Ashbury District. It is a kombucha drinking, organic kale eating, artsy, surfer town with a little touch of old plantation.
