Mākena

Mākena, located just south of Wailea on the island of Maui, offers a more untouched and serene experience. This dry volcanic coastline provides a glimpse into the island’s past, with its rugged, natural beauty. Visitors can explore the expansive Big Beach, where waves crash against the shore, or snorkel in the clear waters to observe sea turtles. For those seeking adventure, the Ahihi-Kinau Nature Reserve invites hikers to traverse its unique lava fields. Mākena stands in stark contrast to the busier resort areas, providing a tranquil escape for nature lovers.
