With breathtaking natural beauty around every corner, it is no wonder newlyweds have picked Maui as a top honeymoon destination for decades. Whether you are planning on popping the question, enjoying a honeymoon, celebrating an anniversary, or simply spending time with your partner, it does not get any better than Maui, as there are so many romantic things to do in this incredible setting.
5 Romantic Things to Do in Maui
If you are planning a romantic getaway to Maui, Parrish Maui has you covered. We offer a wide range of vacation rentals in Kapalua, perfect for a couples retreat. Plus, we are happy to share our local insights to help point you in the direction of the most romantic things to do in Maui to set the mood.
1. Enjoy the Beach
Sun, sand, and skin, what better way to kick off your romantic vacation than with a trip to the beach? Maui is home to fantastic beaches that you and your loved one will love exploring. Whether you are interested in soaking up the sun, going for a swim, snorkeling with the area’s vibrant aquatic life, or going on a romantic sunset stroll, Maui’s beaches have you covered. We recommend Napili Bay, a picturesque beach with all of the beachy beauty you can imagine.
2. Watch the Sunrise at the Summit of Haleakala
You can find the highest peak on Maui at Haleakala National Park. At 10,2023 feet above sea level, Haleakala will give you an impeccable view, but it is especially breathtaking during sunrise. Be prepared to be wowed with vibrant shades of yellows, oranges, and pinks as the sun lights up the sky. To enter the park for sunrise, you have to make a reservation online.
3. Take a Maui Helicopter Tour
If you think Maui’s stunning scenery looks good on land, wait until you have an aerial view of the island. A Maui helicopter tour will give you a birdseye view of the majestic beauty that comprises the island. Soaring over Maui’s pristine landscapes with your partner will provide you with a new perspective on the island you two are enjoying together.
4. Embark on a Sunset Cruise
Few things are as romantic as watching the sunset, and Maui’s sunsets are divine. While watching the sunset at the beach will never get old, you can try something new with a sunset cruise. You and your partner can enjoy refreshing drinks and, in the case of some cruises, a delicious meal while taking in the beauty of the falling sun. Plus, getting out on the ocean is a lot of fun.
5. Relax with a Hawaiian-Style Spa Treatment
Feel the stressors of everyday life melt away with a professional spa treatment. Couples massages are a classic romantic activity, but you can enjoy a whole new experience in Maui, where the Lomi Lomi massage style is common. Lomi Lomi massages feature long, fluid strokes in quick succession, designed to help you feel more connected to your entire body. It is a unique experience you likely will not enjoy anywhere else.
