For its admirers, there’s truth behind the old saying “Maui No Ka Oi” — Maui is the best. The “Valley Isle” offers some of the world’s finest white-sand beaches, sunrises from dormant volcanoes and ocean vistas along the rainforest road to Hana. Maui also boasts a state-of-the-art marine park, humpback whale watching in winter, world-class windsurfing, upcountry farms and ranches and the islands’ largest ancient temple. Wailea and Kapalua anchor its luxury resort scene, each paired with championship golf and the island’s most polished spas.
