Maui Weddings

Maui is a great place for a wedding. Not only does the entire island exude romance and natural beauty, but after the ceremony, you're only a few steps away from the perfect honeymoon.

More than 20,000 marriages are performed each year on the islands, and nearly half of the couples married here are from somewhere else. This booming business has spawned dozens of companies that can help you organize a long-distance event and stage an unforgettable wedding.

The easiest way to plan your wedding is to let someone else handle it at the resort or hotel where you'll be staying. Most Maui resorts and hotels have wedding coordinators who can plan everything from a simple (relatively) low-cost wedding to an extravaganza that people will talk about for years. Remember that resorts can be pricey -- be frank with your wedding coordinator if you want to keep costs down. You don't have to use a coordinator: You can also plan your own island wedding, even from afar, and not spend a fortune doing it.

Maui Villa Rentals

Maui is surrounded by miles of pristine coastline and boasts over scores of beaches. Many of these beaches are accessible beach parks that feature lifeguards, picnic facilities and restrooms. Others are undeveloped and are pristine "secret spots" off the beaten path. Our villas boast exceptional access to many of these exotic beaches. Maui villas offer a rare blend of rustic nature with the modern amenities that the discerning traveler demands.
