Aloha! Here’s some general info that should help while looking for a place to stay on Maui :)

We live in South Maui on the Kihei/Wailea border. The wedding is at Kukahiko Estate in Makena, which is about a 5 minute drive from Wailea. Wailea is home to a handful of resorts like Andaz, The Grand, The Fairmont and the Four Seasons. This area tends to be more expensive and Fancy but you do get what you pay for at these places… very nice accommodations, beautiful beaches and great service.

Just to the north of Wailea is Kihei, which is a little more crowded but has lots of options for rental condos. It’s not as fancy as Wailea but still a great option. Great beaches up there too and only about 15 minutes from the wedding location.

The other area with a large concentration of resorts is Ka’anapali. Ka’anapali is great but you will have an hour drive down to south Maui from there. It’s a beautiful drive along the coast but it’s probably best to look in south Maui if you can.

When looking for condos or houses to rent, your best bet will be sites like AirBNB, VRBO, Home Away and FlipKey. This is a great option, especially if you want to share the house with friends/family and get more bang for your buck.

There is also the Hotel Wailea, located just above the Wailea resorts. It’s a really cute hotel and we have a discount there if you use code “Blissmaui“. Hotel Wailea is not located on the water but it’s only a 1 minute drive to the beach and I think they will also drive you to and from nearby beaches in their fancy Escalades.

That’s sort of the basics. PLEASE feel free to contact us if you have any questions!
