Book Your Romantic Maui Getaway
Take a Sunset Sail or Cruise
You can’t leave Maui without watching the sunset from the water. Experience some smooth sailing for beautiful sunsets or dinner. Options depart from Kaanapali Beach, Lahaina Harbor, and Maalaea Harbor, with experiences ranging from cocktail sails to dinner cruises. For example, Sea Maui offers cocktail and dinner cruises from Kaanapali, while Maalaea Sunset Sail offers a two-hour sunset sail from Maalaea Harbor.
If you’re visiting during the winter, keep an eye out for humpback whales along the way. It’s the perfect time to see whales during their winter migration season.
Experience a Maui Chocolate Tour
Turn dessert into an unforgettable date at Maui Ku‘ia Estate Chocolate Factory in Lahaina. The 1.5-hour guided tour sits on a 20-plus-acre cacao estate. Here, you’ll learn about cacao cultivation and harvesting before finishing with a nine-piece chocolate tasting. It’s a sweet way to experience Maui agriculture and local flavor together.
Location: 78 Ulupono St., Lahaina
Availability: Daily; Check calendar for available days and times
Admission: Adults, $95; Kids, $75; children under 3 not allowed
Turn Morning Coffee into an Upcountry Date
Trade the beach for Maui’s rural communities for its rustic farming and gardens of Kula and Makawao. Stop for coffee or breakfast, browse local shops and galleries, then enjoy the area’s farms and elevated scenery.
Try Grandma’s Coffee House for that familiar coffee and breakfast. Or stop by Crema for a specialty latte and pastries.
For another stop, stroll the gardens at Aliʻi Kula Lavender in Kula. The farm is open Friday through Monday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. It’s a good idea to check the schedule before heading Upcountry.
Enjoy Wine on Your Private Lanai
You don’t always have to leave your vacation rental to enjoy a romantic Maui moment. Grab a bottle of wine, pour a glass, and unwind together on your lanai as the evening settles in. With your own private space to relax and reconnect, your vacation rental can become part of the romantic experience itself. Enjoy the views, breathe in the fresh island air, and simply savor the moment together.
Make a Night of Hawaiian Music in Napili
For a date rooted in Hawaiian music and culture, go to the Slack Key Show at Napili Kai Beach Resort. Every Wednesday, this four-time Grammy-winning concert series features performances that combine slack-key guitar with Hawaiian music, storytelling, and hula in a covered, open-air pavilion. If you like what you experience there, look out for the Masters of Hawaiian Music Tour, which kicks off in spring 2027.
