Kihei Vacation Rentals

With six miles of beaches and far-reaching views of West Maui, Kahoolawe, Molokini and Lanai, Kihei is a popular winter getaway. One of Maui's hottest destinations (weather-wise), visitors can pick from well-furnished condos, vacation rentals and cottages.

Kihei cuisine

Whether its cheese burgers, Pacific Regional Cuisine or authentic Hawaiian dishes you're after, Kihei delivers. The beach community proposes waterfront, gourmet cafes, karaoke bars, beach shacks and more.

Local cuisine predominantly features cattle raised on the island's pastures, fresh seafood, veggies and fruits grown in volcanic soil. Recommended local delicacies include Kalua roast pork, lomi salmon and crab lumpia.

Island nightlife

Most of Kihei's bars, cafes and nightclubs are concentrated in an area called the Barmuda Triangle. For a sophisticated, down tempo night out, consider the LGBT- friendly Ambrosia Martini Lounge.

Partake in Polynesian music and dancing at a 'luau', many of which are hosted by the island's resorts as part of the nightly entertainment. Kihei's live-music venues, Irish bars with trivia nights, and tiki-themed bars keep the flame burning all night long.

Excursion destinations galore

Outdoorsy types will have their hands full on Kihei. Purchase snorkeling gear locally and take a cruise to Kamaole Beach Park III. Kamaole Beach Park I,II and II are ideal for families wanting to swim in clean, calm waters. Newbies can take a beginner's surfing course at Kihei Cove. Meanwhile, the Kealia Pond National Wildlife Refuge sees feathered friends arrive from as far as Canada, Alaska and Asia. It's a majestic sight to behold.

As Maui isn't a large island, you can reach any point as part of a day-trip. Plan one to Haleakala National Park for a surreal sunrise. Eight miles south of Kihei is the charming resort community of Wailea. Continue further south to the Ahihi Natural Area Reserve and La Perouse Bay for further snorkeling and hiking opportunities.
