 |
Colonized by transplanted New Yorkers, expat Brazilians, sundry Europeans, and international celebrities, Maui is a mix of advanced café civilization, luxe resort life, and soul surfer mecca, all situated around singular natural sights. Enclaves of newcomers, like the little town of Pa'ia, on Maui's North Shore, with cosmopolitan eateries and pricey boutiques, may make visitors wonder if there are any locals left at all. But if you know where to look—such as Wailuku, whose vintage "downtown" includes the classic bijou Iao Theater—you can still find traces of old Maui.

| | | | Maui | | It’s 11,000 feet from the top of Haleakala Crater down to Maui’s whale-filled seas—and you can experience them both in the same day on this compact island. Whether you’re drawn to shopping, nightlife, art galleries, beaches, golf, or spas at world-class resorts, Maui will charm you. | | | | When to go | | Like the other Hawaiian islands, Maui’s high seasons are from mid-December to early March and again from June to early September. From October to April, choppy water can make some unprotected beaches dangerous, but most are gorgeous year-round. Maui has the added benefit of being the best island for observing the annual humpback whale migration (December–April). | | | | Are we there yet? | Flight times
