Pai’a

Pai`a, is a historic plantation town which many local Maui residents have made their home. Pai’a is surrounded by acres of lush green sugar cane fields and is home to some of the best surfers in the world. Pai’a has more of a traditional theme than the more touristy, glitzy Maui resort areas. If you are looking for “real Maui” then Pai’a is the place for you.

The heart of Pai’a is at its town center, made up of a hodge podge of old style plantation buildings now occupied by local merchants. These quirky stores dotted along the main street sell everything from local Maui clothing, potteries, arts and crafts as well as fresh fish and vegetables.

Pai’a is an ideal location for those looking at a Maui accommodation where you can be located close to the spectacular Ho`okipa Beach Park known all over the world as the premier windsurfing location. http://www.hawaiiweb.com/maui/beaches/HookipaBeachPark.htm

A Pai’a vacation rental is also ideal for those visitors looking at easy access to Hana, the back country and Haleakala volcano

When driving the road to Hana take time to stop off at Pai’a or when driving the Hana Highway, consider stopping off at Mama’s Fish House restaurant located on the outskirts of Pai`a. http://www.mamasfishhouse.com/ From there take the road to Hana which gracefully curves along the Maui coastline providing breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean and the tropical Maui back country.
