Find Your Maui Vacation Rental

Maalaea

Aloha! MauiBeachfront.com, your Maui vacation rental specialist, welcomes you to Maalaea or Ma’alaea, a quaint picturesque seaport village where you will find affordable Maui condo rental properties. Located away from the hustle of the busy tourist areas, this charming beach town has metamorphosed from a sleepy little village into a jewel of a location. With its cool trade winds, miles of sandy beaches, a wide variety of easily assessable vacation activities, delightful restaurants serving Mediterranean, Pacific Rim, Asian and fresh Hawaii cuisine, and romantic moonlit evenings filled with twinkling stars, Maalaea will help make your Maui vacation memorable.

Situated about twenty minutes south of the historic town of Lahaina on the Honopiilani Highway (Hwy. 30) and only 20 minutes from the Kahului airport, Maalaea Bay runs along the south side of the Maui isthmus that separates West Maui from South and East Maui. Formerly a commercial port, Maalaea Harbor now has a lovely marina for the many cruise and pleasure boats that visit this tropical Hawaiian paradise. The marina has also become a hub for adventurous ocean activities and water sports. Many charters for the best whale watching, scuba diving, sailing, snorkeling, and deep-sea fishing leave right from the Maalaea Harbor. The warm Maalaea Bay waters are part of the National Humpback Whale Marine Sanctuary. Consequently, Maalaea offers you, without a doubt, the best possible location to witness the phenomenon of Humpback whales mating and birthing during the whale season that runs from November through May. The area also enjoys the reputation as having the hairiest summer surfing spot on Maui with its legendary Maalaea Pipeline. When these fantastic tubular waves start rolling in, surfers from all over the world come to ride. Right across from the Maalaea Harbor is the largest aquarium in Hawaii, the Maui Ocean Center. Here you will experience the secrets of the magnificent Pacific Ocean, where thousands of marine species can be viewed up close, in natural, living coral reefs. Enjoy the self-paced, interactive exhibits. You will discover more than 60 exhibits displaying the habitats of marine animals in the natural ocean, including the Underwater Journey where you will gaze with amazement at their clear acrylic-walled tunnel that offers a 240-degree view of marine life in a 750,000-gallon open ocean tank. At the Maui Ocean Center every member of your family will find engrossing activities and fun educational experiences. The center offers, as well, a wonderful outdoor shopping complex housing excellent shops, and restaurants. Within walking distance from the Maui Ocean Center, is the Maui Golf & Water Park that has bumper boat rides, miniature golf and many more family-fun activities. Another popular tourist site near Maalaea is the Maui Tropical Plantation and Country Store. Sixty acres of fields filled with papaya, guava, mango, taro, macadamia nuts, and coffee can be viewed from a tram that travels through the plantation while you learn about. In addition Maui offers our guests a wide choice of adventures from horseback riding, to zipline thrills through the jungles, from sunrise bike rides to helicopter rides allowing you to view Haleakala, waterfalls, coastlines, and tropical rainforests inaccessible to most visitors.

For the golfing enthusiast, Maalaea’s central location offers you easy access to numerous spectacular golf courses. Kahili Golf Club has lots of interesting holes with lakes and views of the ocean and Haleakala. The Dunes, Maui's newest course, in addition to having some of the most interesting golfing holes in Hawaii, offers one of Maui's best target practice facilities with large greens, and the Elleair Golf Course has exceptional views of the Pacific, Auau channel, Mt. Haleakala, Molokini, and the West Maui mountains. The three major courses in Wailea are the Wailea Golf Club-Blue, ranked among America's best resort courses by Golf Digest, Wailea Golf Club – Emerald, a superbly designed course created for pure golf enjoyment, rated as one of North America's most women-friendly by Golf for Women that has been described as a lush tropical playground where flowers bloom in great abundance including plumeria, bird of paradise, allamanda, gazenia, bougainvillea, beach morning glory, "firecracker" plants and more, and the Wailea Golf Club – Gold, the most challenging of Wailea's trio designed with a rugged, natural look accented with stark lava rock outcroppings, indigenous Hawaiian grasses, an abundance of kiawe, a relative of the mesquite tree and remnants of papohaku, prehistoric lava rock walls built by early Hawaiians and preserved for their historic value. What better way to experience a round of golf than to play on any of these exceptional Maui golf courses.
