Maui: The Best Ideas For A Romantic Vacation

By Ella Hemmings


For couples in search of a romantic destination, there is no finer spot on earth than Maui. This Hawaiian island consistently tops the list of "Most Romantic" spots in the world, and there are activities here to please every couple. Here a few suggestions for how to fill your days in Maui with plenty of romance.

Enjoying the sunset together is always romantic, and in Maui, you could plan a special sunset moment for each day that you are on the island. Spend one sunset at Kapalua Bay or Po'olenalena Beach and enjoy the sunset and a spectacular view. On another night, head to a local beachside restaurant and enjoy your evening meal along with the sunset. Another option would be to enjoy a sunset dinner cruise out on the water, and there are several companies that offer this boat service.

A trip to Maui would not be complete with a trek along the Hana Highway, which stretches about 50 miles along the coast from Pa'ia to the hamlet of Hana. The trip takes about three hours if you drive straight through, and the length of time is due to the narrow, winding roads and more than 50 bridges that you cross, many of which are just one lane wide. Along the way, you can stop and trek out to waterfalls, enjoy some spectacular beaches, grab some homemade banana bread and just generally enjoy some of the world's best scenery. It's wise to devote an entire day to this endeavor and bring a picnic lunch and plenty of water. It can easily take eight or nine hours to explore all the sites along the way and then make your way back.

Another fun adventure would be to spend the day at Haleakala National Park, which is where you will find the highest peak in Maui. If you get up early, you can hike up to the summit and watch the sunrise. You can also see what remains after a volcanic eruption and hike in and around the Haleakala Crater which is nearly 7 miles across. This is the world's largest dormant volcano, so it's definitely worth a look. There are quite a few other interesting hiking trails, including Pipiwai, which leads to the Seven Sacred Pools of Ohe'o Gulch.

Many people head to Maui to celebrate their wedding anniversary, and it's easy to understand why. You could take your anniversary celebration a step beyond the usual special dinner and walk along the beach and enjoy a special vow renewal service. You can even leave all the planning to a Maui wedding coordinator, such as the staff at Love Maui Weddings. They have been planning Maui weddings, vow renewals and elopements for more than 20 years. They have a special Maui wedding package just for couples that wish to renew their vows. It's called "Love, Always," and includes the services of a minister, a ceremony on the beach, a beach permit for up to 10 guests, a keepsake certificate and bottle of sand, a beautifully printed copy of your renewal vows and a bridal lei and lei for the groom.

If you do plan on heading to Maui to get married, the wedding coordinators at Love Maui weddings can help with all of the details. They can find a perfect location for the ceremony, which might be on the beach, at a luxury resort, at a historic plantation or even in a historic chapel in Lahaina. They offer many Maui destination wedding packages, many of which are quite affordable.
