A premium resort-style stay
Lahaina has been drawing travellers since the days of Hawaiian royals thanks to an idyllic position between the Pacific coast and West Maui Mountains. Today, travellers flock to its shores for a glimpse at the majestic humpback whales and to soak up that easy going island lifestyle.
Lahaina plays host to a spate of beachfront accommodation. Sheraton, Hyatt and Marriott all offer sprawling waterfront resorts with star rated service. Premium amenities abound with impressive pools and on-site restaurants and lounges. Available children's activities will keep the little ones busy while on-site spa services offer a chance for adults to unwind.
The charm and service of a boutique or B&B
If you're seeking a bit of local culture in the Hawaiian Islands, Lahaina has you covered. The Banyan Tree is generally the first place to start. This historic tree is the largest in the country, taking up an entire block. From here, Front Street beckons with shops and restaurants. The Baldwin Home Museum and a number of smaller, traditional hotels are also within close proximity.
If you're searching for charm and authentic Hawaiian hospitality, you may want to consider a stay in a smaller boutique or B&B such as those positioned along Front Street. This includes the Lahaina Inn and Plantation Inn. Both offer more personalised service with fantastic locations within walking distance to the beach and central Lahaina Town.
Budget-friendly hostels and guesthouses
If you're hitting the road as a sole traveller and want to get the most bang for your buck, Lihaina is a great destination. Beaches are abundant for surfing, fishing and whale watching tours. There are plenty of low cost restaurants and nightlife options along with cheap lodging options.
Hostels in central Lahaina will put you at the heart of all the action while maintaining easy access to the beaches. The Lahaina Bungalow and Tiki Hale Hostel offer up private, clean rooms with well-appointed common areas. Both are also well within walking distance to the beache as well as the spoils of Lihaina's city centre.
