Living in Kihei, Maui

Kihei has everything youʻd want in an island town. It has a small town feel to it. Normally, you can drive on South Kihei road freely up and down without any serious traffic. You can walk to stores or restaurants or drive your bike. With warm year round weather, evening time is often the most comfortable to be outside when you live in Kihei.

Kihei is basically all beaches. A lot of the north end beaches may be narrow but they still have soft sand and extend for miles. Starting with Charley Young Beach and heading south through the Kamaole beaches and Keawakapu beach, these are all world class beautiful beaches with sunset gatherings happening every night.

In the morning, residents and visitors walk these gorgeous beaches, one to the next. Often times they see whales breaching during the winter months. It’s a great way to start the day when you live in Kihei.

If you ask around you can find some really great spots near the ocean that have well manicured grass almost right up to the water so you can watch the sunsets at the beach without even getting sandy. The lawn in front of Kihei Surfside is one of those locations.

Just a few minutes away you have the Wailea resort with luxurious hotels, world class restaurants, fine dining and shopping places. The beaches in Wailea are just as beautiful as the Kihei beaches, however, Wailea does have some fantastic snorkeling. Makena is another 15 minutes away with even more beautiful beaches and incredible snorkeling. 

Another quality that makes Kihei a great place to call home is its proximity to everything. Kihei is 25 minutes from the Kahului airport and all the big box stores where you buy home building materials, toys, groceries, and other home goods. There’s a 4 lane highway getting you to and from Kahului.

As we mentioned above, Kihei is home to world class beaches, dining, and water activities which is why you want to live on Maui in the first place. Maui is rated the #1 island year after year by many travel magazines, websites, and blogs.
