GENERAL ISLAND DESCRIPTION

Generally, the North Shore (and "Upcountry") area of Maui (Paia, Haiku, Pukalani, Makawao) is a verdant pasture and tropical setting on the slopes of Haleakala, a dormant volcano (the crater of which is a breathtaking sight, filled with thought-provoking hikes). The Upcountry area does not have any hotels, but is home to many B&Bs and "vacation rentals." It is quiet in the "Upcountry," and scenic in nature.

"Central Maui" (Kahului, Wailuku) is generally the business and commercial center for the island (not too much in terms of late-night entertainment) situated a stone's throw from Kanaha Beach Park (just behind Kahului airport), a very popular windsurfing beach, with large lawns providing ample picnic and bbq venues.

"West Maui" (Kapalua, Ka'anapali, Lahaina) offers the exclusivity of Kapalua (fine golfing and dining), the sprawling beach resort of Ka`anapali (long, sandy beach, golfing, Hyatt, Marriott, Sheraton, other fine hotels and a number of resort condominiums), Whaler's Village (quickly filling with exclusive shops: Prada, Ferragamo, Versace, Tiffany's, Louis Vuitton, Gucci...) and the historic whaling town of Lahaina (a popular visitor attraction filled with shops and art galleries, and a major source of entertainment on Maui).

In "South Maui," Kihei and Wailea are popular economical and exclusive tourist areas; respectively. Public tennis and basketball courts, sprawling lawns and a new in-line skating rink at Kalama Park (Kihei), along with various scenic beaches throughout Kihei and Wailea make the South Shore a favorite for many.
