7 Days of Family-Friendly Outdoor Adventure on Maui
Curated by
Katie McAvoy
Maui is magic. There is so much natural wonder to explore, both above and below the water. Swim in waterfalls. Watch sunrise or sunset above the clouds. Snorkel in crystal clear water right off the beach. Play in the waves. Explore and swim in tide pools. Family adventure opportunities abound. At the same time, Maui has outstanding restaurants, shopping and resorts. You can enjoy active Maui days and then relax with a top notch dinner and sleep at a fantastic hotel. Create lasting family memories on Maui.
This guide is geared toward a West Maui stay, but staying in South Maui/Wailea is also amazingly beautiful, and may actually be a better choice if your priorities are Haleakala and the road to Hana. But we LOVED Ka’anapali, so West Maui is the focus of this guide. You really cannot go wrong as Maui has a seemingly endless string of perfect beaches.
The Ultimate Guide of Where to Stay in Maui
Curated by
Maggie Moran
I recently returned from a sublime seven-day vacation on Maui with my family, and had the opportunity to visit several of our partner resorts while there. While it’s hard to go wrong given the natural beauty of the island, there are some nuances that are helpful to keep in mind when choosing the right hotel for your needs.
Each resort offers many different room, suite, villa and residence types so booking through a travel advisor that knows the specifics and has relationships with the team on property can help make sure you book exactly what you need. And of course, it doesn’t hurt that booking through a Fora Advisor gets you free perks like daily breakfast, resort credits, upgrades and more.
