KIHEI

Maui's Home Town Secret

ALOHA	LOCALS	SUNSETS	BEACHES

Kihei is my favorite town on Maui. Built in the 70's this area was a bulders free for all. Planning was not a big thing back then so the area ended up looking like a normal beach town. The Hawaiian Aloha spirit, you hear so much about, is defiantly entrenched in her people and businesses.

One thing different for this area is you can actually see the beaches from the main road. The beaches and parks are on one side of the main road and the buildings are on the other, leaving room for ball fields, skate rinks, skateboard parks, bathrooms etc. If it involves people and community it is on the beach side of the road.

Lodging rates for this area seem lower than other areas, but the truly outstanding deals come from the many owner rented condos.

Small cafés, open-air restaurants, shopping centers, condos and local residences add the character that flows here. You will feel at home in this town.

A public golf course is located right inside of town. Elleair golf course is convenient and affordable. Take a break and get a round in.

From beaches to lodging to late night happenings, Kihei has it all.
