4 Tips from Guy for the Perfect Stay at Waikiki Beach
The island of Maui is one of the top vacation destinations in the Pacific Ocean and throughout the United States. This enchanting tropical island, the second largest in the magical Hawaiian archipelago, has developed over the years into a haven of resorts enjoying particularly tranquil and magical paradise beaches. Beyond the beaches, Maui is a rare tourist destination with small natural segments featuring waterfalls and tropical vegetation, a unique volcanic nature reserve – the Haleakalā National Park – and a plethora of attractions, tours, luau ceremonies (touristic), and all the joys of being in Hawaii.
- Staying atWailea Beaches – Stretching from Kihei in the north to the Makena Beach State Park, you'll find one of the most beautiful beaches in Hawaii, featuring an endless list of ultra-luxurious resorts. Along the beach, there are vacation villages from all the high-end hotel chains, including Waldorf Astoria, Four Seasons, and more. These are unique and exceptionally indulgent hotels considered the cream of the crop when it comes to vacation resorts across the USA. The resorts offer sandy swimming beaches nestled in paradise coves, gigantic pools, exquisite spa facilities, and refined dining. The hotels are designed as holiday villages with high-end bungalows available in a wide range of sizes.
- Staying at Kaanapali and Napili Beaches – The beaches of Kaanapali and Napili, located in the westernmost part of the island, are a fantastic vacation spot for the whole family. These are wonderful resorts rated three and four stars, some designed as holiday villages and others as large beachfront hotels. Unlike the coastline of Wailea, both beaches have a continuous and long shoreline that runs along the resorts.
- How to Get to Maui? – Kahului Airport (OGG) is the largest airport on the island of Maui and is the secondary airport of the Hawaiian Islands after Honolulu Airport. The airport is located adjacent to the town of Kahului in the north of the island, just an eight-minute drive from its center. Kahului Airport serves the tourism traffic to the island and is well connected to other airports in the islands and the major airports of the west coast of the United States, such as Los Angeles, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Denver, and more.
- The Season – The best months to visit Hawaii are from the beginning of spring until the end of September. During this period, the weather is generally warm and pleasant, with not too much precipitation. June is ideally the best month to visit Hawaii, considering both the weather and costs. It's not too rainy (relatively), just before the tourism rush of July and August begins.
