Whether you’re looking for adventure, relaxation, or a mix of both, this island offers unforgettable experiences made even better when you have the perfect place to stay. At Wailea Ekahi Village, you’ll find everything newlyweds need to start their next chapter, luxurious oceanfront condos, tranquil gardens, and easy access to all of South Maui’s beauty.
Here’s your guide to planning a Maui honeymoon that will wow your partner and create memories that last a lifetime.
Planning Your Maui Honeymoon
Choose the Right Time to Visit
The best months for a honeymoon in Maui are typically April through May and September through November. You’ll enjoy warm weather, calmer seas, and fewer crowds than peak summer or winter months. These “shoulder seasons” also make it easier to book excursions, dinner reservations, and your dream accommodations.
Book Early for the Best Experience
Maui is a bucket-list destination for many couples, and top accommodations can fill up quickly, especially ocean-view rentals in Wailea. Booking your stay at Wailea Ekahi Village well in advance ensures you’ll have your pick of beautiful, fully equipped condos. Plus, early booking often means better airfare and car rental options too.
Know Your Honeymoon Style
Are you and your partner more into adventure and exploration, or do you prefer spa days and sunset strolls? Maui offers the perfect blend of both. Mapping out a few must-do activities before you arrive will help balance your trip, leaving plenty of room for spontaneity too.
Why Wailea Ekahi Village Is Ideal for Honeymooners
Wailea Ekahi Village is more than just a place to stay—it’s your home base in paradise. Located along Keawakapu Beach and connected to the scenic Wailea Beach Path, the resort offers private condo-style living with resort-level amenities. Enjoy coffee on your lanai at sunrise, take a dip in one of four pools, and walk to nearby dining and entertainment.
The setting is intimate, the views are spectacular, and every detail, from tropical gardens to ocean breezes, makes it easy to relax and reconnect.
10 Romantic Things to Do on Your Maui Honeymoon
Ready to explore together? Here are some of the most romantic things to do on Maui that are sure to impress your new spouse.
1. Watch the Sunrise at Haleakalā
Start your marriage with a moment you’ll never forget: watching the sunrise above the clouds from the summit of Haleakalā National Park. Bundle up, bring a thermos of coffee, and arrive early (reservations required). The experience feels otherworldly, and it’s a beautiful reminder of new beginnings.
2. Sail Into the Sunset
Nothing says “honeymoon” like a romantic sunset sail. From Maʻalaea or Lahaina Harbor, you can board a catamaran for cocktails, music, and breathtaking ocean views. If you visit during whale season (December–April), you might even spot humpback whales breaching in the distance.
3. Picnic at Keawakapu Beach
Just steps from Wailea Ekahi Village, Keawakapu Beach is one of Maui’s most picturesque spots for a picnic. Pack your favorite local snacks, fresh poke, tropical fruit, and Maui chips, and watch the sun dip into the ocean as you toast with sparkling pineapple wine.
4. Snorkel Together at Molokini Crater
Share an underwater adventure at Molokini, a crescent-shaped volcanic crater teeming with marine life. Clear waters and colorful coral make it a snorkeler’s paradise. Many tours leave from nearby Maʻalaea Harbor, and early morning trips often include breakfast and calm seas.
5. Enjoy a Couples Massage or Spa Day
After months of wedding planning, nothing beats unwinding with a couples massage. You’ll find world-class spas nearby, or you can arrange for an in-condo massage right at Wailea Ekahi Village. Combine it with a slow evening walk on the beach for total relaxation.
6. Stroll the Wailea Beach Path
The Wailea Beach Path runs right along the coast—perfect for morning walks or moonlit strolls. Watch paddleboarders drift by, pause at lookout points, and enjoy that peaceful “just us” time that honeymoons are made for.
7. Dine at Maui’s Most Romantic Restaurants
Maui’s culinary scene rivals its scenery. Treat yourselves to a fine-dining experience at Ferraro’s Bar e Ristorante at the Four Seasons, enjoy an oceanfront table at Mama’s Fish House, or share locally sourced dishes at The Restaurant at Hotel Wailea. Each offers sunset views and an unforgettable dining experience.
8. Take the Road to Hāna
For adventurous couples, a drive along the Road to Hāna is a must. Wind through rainforests, past waterfalls, and stop at roadside stands for banana bread. Pack snacks, good music, and plan for a full day—this scenic journey is about the experience, not the destination.
9. Experience a Traditional Luau
A luau is one of the most memorable ways to celebrate your honeymoon in Hawaii. Enjoy traditional Hawaiian food, hula performances, and fire dancers. The Te Au Moana Luau in Wailea is a guest favorite and just a short drive from your condo.
10. Stay In and Enjoy Your Condo
Some of the most romantic Maui moments happen without leaving your condo. Prepare dinner together in your full kitchen, open a bottle of wine, and watch the sunset from your private lanai. Or, take advantage of Wailea Ekahi Village’s oceanfront pavilion with BBQs, full kitchen facilities, and unbeatable sunset views.
Why a Condo Is Perfect for Your Honeymoon
While hotels offer luxury, condos offer intimacy, comfort, and flexibility, which is why more couples are choosing vacation rentals for their honeymoons.
More Space, More Privacy
You’ll appreciate having a living area, bedroom, and kitchen instead of one shared hotel room. It’s your own private retreat where you can unwind after a day of adventure.
Home Comforts + Resort Perks
At Wailea Ekahi Village, you’ll have resort-style amenities—multiple pools, direct beach access, lush gardens—without the crowds. Plus, you can enjoy home-like features such as cooking your own meals or doing laundry during a longer stay.
Romantic Ambiance
Unlike busy resorts, Wailea Ekahi Village feels calm and secluded. You’ll wake up to tropical birds, enjoy ocean breezes, and fall asleep to the sound of waves, everything you imagined your honeymoon would be.
Planning Tips for the Perfect Honeymoon
Here are a few practical tips to make your Maui honeymoon smooth and stress-free:
- Book early — Secure your accommodations and car rental at least 3–6 months in advance.
- Get travel insurance — Protect your investment from the unexpected.
- Pack smart — Bring reef-safe sunscreen, light layers, water shoes, and a waterproof phone pouch.
- Stay flexible — Don’t overplan; leave time for lazy mornings and spontaneous adventures.
- Capture the memories — Whether it’s professional honeymoon photos or candid shots, you’ll want to look back on this special time.
