This page reflects Lahaina as it existed before the devastating wildfires of August 2023. We are working to update our content so that it more accurately reflects the community as it recovers.
Long ago a haven for whalers and missionaries, Lahaina is a charming seaport town with a colorful personality. “As one of Maui's oldest towns,” says Jordan Kamikawa, Realtor with Hawaii Life Real Estate, “Lahaina is rich in history. In the early nineteenth century, it was the capital of the Hawaiian kingdom.” Here, you’ll find landmarks like the Old Lahaina Courthouse, constructed in 1859 from the remains of King Kamehameha’s palace. Now serving as a visitors’ center, museum and gallery, it holds Hawaii’s original flag and a host of local treasures.
Lahaina is a pleasant place to live or visit, beloved by residents and tourists. Kamikawa says “the blend of residential homes and vacation rentable properties are part of its appeal. You’ll find an eclectic mix of people and lifestyles.” In Lahaina, you can see rare 75-acre properties suitable for multiple homes for upwards of $12 million; to-be-built estates in the Makila neighborhood going for $8 million; and newly constructed island cottages with panoramic ocean views for around $3.5 million. You can also find upgraded condos built in the 60s and ‘70s ranging from $700,000 to $1.2 million. Newer inland condos go for under $900,000 and feature majestic mountain views. Near the community’s intermediate school, single- and two-story plantation-style homes along North Niheu Place built in the ‘80s range from $1 million to $1.5 million.
Three public schools in Lahaina, Princess Nahi’ena’ena Elementary, Lahaina Intermediate and Lahainaluna High, are all located within walking distance of each other. Lahainaluna High serves local ninth through 12th graders as well as students from the outer islands in their boarding program. In 2023, the 52nd annual David Malo Day Ho’olaule’a was held at Lahainaluna High’s boarding field. The celebration featured performances by Lahainaluna High's Hawaiiana Club and boarders chorus to honor the significance of hula song and dance traditions that nurture Lahaina’s ‘ohana and community.
For fun in the park close to anywhere you live, manicured green spaces are sprinkled throughout Lahaina. Along the ocean, the eight-acre Wahikuli Wayside Park is a favorite spot to snorkel with sea turtles. You can also swim in the clear waters of Baby Beach, where locals bring their families to play or relax in a beach chair along its calm edge. A long coral reef at the south end keeps waves at bay, and you can expect to find a coconut or two as you stroll the shore. Surfers head to the waves at the north end to perfect their moves.
When you’re ready to explore Lahaina’s dining and shopping just down the path from Baby Beach, Kamikawa says, “Front Street is a main attraction. It’s where you’ll find art galleries, oceanfront restaurants, shops and Maui's oldest living banyan tree.” This famous tree was planted by missionaries in 1873. At a span of more than 200 feet, it’s officially the largest banyan in the United States. Locals and visitors are drawn to the Old Lahaina Luau for traditional hula shows, storytelling and feasting with a breathtaking ocean vista. This is one of the best places to capture remarkable photos of palms silhouetted in the Maui sunset before the tiki torches are lit. At Old Lahaina Luau you’ll learn about Hawaiian culture, feel the drums in your soul and indulge in generous servings of stone-roasted kalua pig, sweet potato mash, local greens and breadbaskets with honey-guava butter.
You can also savor fine dining at the elegant, art-filled Lahaina Grill just off Front Street, voted the #1 fine dining restaurant in the U.S. in 2022 by TripAdvisor. Treat yourself or your date to a kona coffee roasted rack of lamb, center-cut filet mignon or local mahi mahi topped off with key lime pie, brulee or peanut butter mousse cake. And if you’d like a taste of Lahaina’s own craft beverages, head to Kohola Brewery for award-winning premium beers including Lahaina Haze and Story Pale Ale. Drop by for a flight served with locally made pretzels and cookies, or bring your own food in while enjoying karaoke, trivia nights or a calendar of live music events.
