Smart Meetings

Maui County consists of the individual islands of Maui, Lanai, Molokai and Kahoolawe. The island of Maui is second largest of the Hawaiian chain, with 727 square miles of land area that's home to a population of 117,644. The average temperature floats languorously between 75–85 degrees F.

With its offerings of aloha hospitality, rousing diversions, sophisticated accommodations and global technology, Maui makes creating the ideal corporate gathering a snap. As they say in the islands, Maui No Ka Oi ("Maui is the best"). When they're done Maui-style, Meetings No Ka Oi, as well.

From mischievous gods to reveling whalers, Maui's past is as vibrant as its present. The only Hawaiian island named for a demigod (half man, half god), this enchanted spot is steeped with legends and a culture uniquely its own. Much of Maui's group appeal is its size. Neither too small nor too large, the island is extremely manageable. In the same day, visitors can catch a Haleakala sunrise, have lunch in funky Paia, then watch the sun slip below the horizon at Kaanapali Beach.

Facilities are situated within Maui’s four master-planned resort areas of Kapalua, Kaanapali, Wailea and Makena. While individually these properties can accommodate from 400 to 3,000 attendees, these multiple-property destinations present convenient overflow options for unusually large groups.

Getting There

Kahului Airport (OGG) is located on the northern edge of the land bridge between Haleakala and the West Maui Mountain Range on the island of Maui. With no public transportation on the island, renting a vehicle is practically necessary to see Maui's attractions, unless you plan to stay on the grounds of your hotel or travel with a tour group.
