Aloha Makena!

Pineapples, leis, grass skirts, ukeleles, hula dance, luau parties, Tahitian dance, limbo games, tikis – there’s only one place that automatically comes in mind that is associated with these words. It’s none other than Hawaii! I have heard lots of fascinating stories and places about this archipelago. It is the southernmost state of the US, becoming its 50th state on August 21, 1959. Quoting wikipedia, Hawaii is the only state that (1) is without territory on the mainland of any continent; (2) is completely surrounded by water; and (3) continues to grow in area because of active extrusive lava flows, most notably from Kilauea.


One of the most visited and popular among the 8 islands that comprise Hawaii is Maui. There’s a lot to see and enjoy in Maui but if you prefer the ultimate experience, Makena is the prime Hawaiian vacation destination. This area is quiet yet has a number of wonderful beaches, pristine waters, places to snorkel over an incredible tropical reef and kayak. Other activities are parasailing, paragliding, and scuba diving. Green sea turtles are within feet from the shore at Makena Landing. As Hawaii is also blessed with most amazing volcanoes in the world, a volcano adventure can be a great family experience. There really is a lot to see in Makena – from botanical gardens to historical sites to landmarks to museums to captivating waterfalls.

Whatever your pleasure, a world-class 5-diamond resort, an intimate upcountry bed and breakfast or a seaside cottage, accommodation at Makena also provides wide array of choices. Head on to hawaiianbeachrentals.com and you’ll be tempted with their cheap rentals on Wailea Makena Condos, Villa rentals which is a new vacation accommodation trend replacing large commercialized hotels and other great Makena Vacation deals.
