Lahaina has long been one of Maui’s most meaningful places — a town deeply rooted in Hawaiian history, storytelling, and oceanfront living. Once the capital of the Hawaiian Kingdom and later a vibrant whaling port, Lahaina has always carried a strong sense of identity shaped by culture, resilience, and community.
In August 2023, Lahaina experienced a devastating wildfire that forever changed the town. As the community continues to heal and rebuild, Lahaina today represents strength, remembrance, and a collective commitment to honoring the past while thoughtfully shaping the future. The spirit of Lahaina — its people, its history, and its connection to the land and ocean — remains very much alive.
Stretching along Maui’s west coast, Lahaina offers dramatic sunsets, consistent trade winds, and easy access to some of the island’s best beaches and surf breaks. Nearby areas such as Kāʻanapali, Launiupoko, and Olowalu provide a range of residential options, from oceanfront condominiums to single-family homes with sweeping mountain and sea views.
Life on the west side of Maui centers around outdoor living. Residents enjoy year-round warm weather, world-class snorkeling, paddling, hiking, and surfing, along with close proximity to golf courses, resorts, and scenic coastal drives. While Front Street remains in recovery, the broader Lahaina region continues to evolve with care, guided by community input and a shared vision for responsible growth.
