Hyatt Regency Maui Resort and Spa

Location Features - Maui

Maui is almost like two islands. East Maui dominated by massive Haleakala Crater, the other by the rainbow-crowned West Maui Mountains. The duality is not only geographic. It is reflected in the spirit of the island.

The galleries of Lahaina hang the art some of the world's foremost painters. There are music festivals, food and wine celebrations and the Maui Film Festival. And Maui restaurants display highly complimented culinary sophistication. All this goes on while Maui pursues traditional ways with hula events, canoe races, down-home luau, rodeos, and gifts of Hawaiian song.

There's more to do on Maui that could be squeezed into a lifetime of holidays. Sail to the island of Lanai for a picnic, or to Molokini for snorkeling. Bicycle down Haleakala, an extinct volcano. Challenge your game on championship golf courses. Sip a local vintage at a 100-year old jailhouse transformed into the tasting room of Hawaii's only winery.

The readers of Conde Nast Traveler Magazine have voted Maui the best island in the world for years. Could it be Lahaina Town that retains the charm of a 19th century whaling port? Or the winding road to Hana with waterfalls and grand vistas that sail around every turn? Or the more than eighty beaches with sands of gold, black, ruby, green olivine, and purest white?

Maui calls itself the Magic Isle. Prepare to be enchanted.
