Located directly on Maluaka Beach, which is considered one of Maui's finest and a popular wedding site, the Maui Prince Hotel is an exceptionally lovely resort. On one side is the Pacific Ocean with its allure of crystal blue waters, Humpback whales in the winter months, fantastic snorkeling across the water at Molokini Island and the unforgettable experience of swimming with giant sea turtles. Behind the resort are the foothills of the famed Haleakala Crater and directly south is a wilderness state park, including a great beach for snorkeling.
The Maui Prince Hotel is secluded and away from the other resorts on this section of the coast. The hotel was built around an Asian meditation garden with stone paths, waterfalls, streams and ponds filled with gold and red Koi (Carp) and private corners for meditation. The doors of every room open to this garden while the windows and lanais look out upon the ocean. The grounds surrounding the hotel are immaculate with lush green lawns, trees and lounge chairs. Upon arrival guests receive a shell lei and cold oshibori (damp scented towel) to refresh yourself from your travels.
