Aloha! Mauibeachfront.com welcomes you to the fabulous Hawaiian island paradise of Maui. Easy-going Honokowai is located along the northwestern coast of Maui near Honokowai Point. Situated between the towns of Kaanapali and Kahana just off route 30 on the lower beach road, Honokowai is one of the smaller communities in this area with easy access to all the activities Maui has to offer. The beaches here are some of Maui’s best. The breathtaking coastline, along with the jagged fertile peaks and green lush valleys of the West Maui mountain range known as Mauna Kahalawai, is the Maui vacation island that most visitors imagine when booking their Maui vacation rental.

One of several beautiful West Maui communities, Honokowai has mostly low-rise oceanfront condominiums with small sandy beach coves scattered intermittently throughout this mostly rocky coastline on the lower Honoapiilani Rd. Mauibeachfront.com invites you to visit the Honokowai Beach Park, a beautiful white sandy beach with a wonderful small lagoon that provides the perfect swimming spot for small children. There is also a lovely picnic facility complete with BBQ’s and picnic tables and a small jungle gym park for younger children. Directly across from the beach is the charming Honokowai Beach Park Center where you’ll find not only one of the best Farmers Markets on Maui, but also an organic food mart, coffee shop and several specialty shops. Along the lower Honoapiilani Rd there are mall shopping complexes each offering a wide variety of boutique stores, great restaurants including some of the best island local take-out, and a superb fish market that offers complete dinners to go. Enjoy an evening of great cuisine and live jazz at one of Maui’s only “hip joints” located in the Honokowai Marketplace.

Honokowai’s central location in West Maui is especially advantageous when you begin your island adventures from our Mauibeachfront.com featured properties at the Kaleialoha and Hale Ono Loa.
