With the arrival of COVID-19, many of us are working from home offices, some of us aren’t working at all, and all of us are spending more time in our homes than ever before! Quarantining, self-quarantining, sheltering in place, or simply being grounded—whatever you choose to call this pause in activities, boredom may be causing you to climb the walls in frustration!

Many of our staff didn’t originally start out living in paradise. Like millions of people before them, they spent one too many winters shoveling snow and scraping ice off their windshields. They’ve learned that once you experience one Maui Christmas in 2019, you’ll want to spend EVERY Christmas on Maui, avoiding the harsh realities of winter and welcoming palm trees, sunny days, and the soothing rhythm of the seas that surround the island. And because Christmas is a feeling everyone holds in their hearts, your holiday getaway to Maui during

We understand that not everyone gets to live in paradise. Your hometown is a place you love, but you don’t wake up to sunshine and ocean breezes every morning of your life, and that’s ok; It just makes you appreciate the beauty of our island even more, especially when you choose to spend your 2019 Thanksgiving here in Maui sipping Mai Tais and avoiding cranky relatives who just add to the tension and stress of a holiday that is supposed to be dedicated to thankfulness.
