Perched high on the slopes of Haleakala, Ali’i Kula Lavender Farm offers a peaceful escape and a chance to immerse yourself in the charm of upcountry Maui. This serene destination is home to approximately 55,000 lavender plants and 20 unique varieties. With its stunning views and soothing atmosphere, it is an essential stop for travelers seeking a different side of Maui beyond its famous beaches.
A Sensory Experience Like No Other
Imagine walking through rows of vibrant purple lavender, with panoramic views of Maui’s stunning landscape stretching out before you. Ali’i Kula Lavender Farm is not just a farm—it is a destination that engages all your senses. Founded by agricultural entrepreneur Ali’i Chang, the farm showcases a wide range of different varieties of lavender, creating a picturesque landscape that feels more like a living canvas than an agricultural site.
Not Native to Maui
You might be surprised to hear that lavender is not native to Maui. However, Kula’s Mediterranean-like climate allows lavender to thrive on these stunning mountain slopes. The lavender at Ali’i Kula Lavender Farm blooms year-round, so there is never a bad time to visit.
What to Expect When Visiting Ali’i Kula Lavender Farm

Bring your camera, you will find endless opportunities to capture stunning images, with lavender fields and sweeping island views creating picture-perfect backdrops.
