Paia, a bright beach town with a hippie-flare, is tucked away in the northern shores of Maui. Shops here sell unique beachwear and art galleries showcase impressive contemporary art. Paia beaches provide exquisite scenery and plenty of family-friendly activities. Some travelers spend an afternoon exploring the town by driving down the Road to Hana, but others settle in for a blissful week on the beaches in this charming community. For groups and families looking for a more offbeat and authentic Hawaiian vacation, Paia vacation rentals are perfect.
Many artists have found a home in Paia, with its colorful buildings and laid-back atmosphere. Over the years, Paia has become a destination for contemporary art collectors from around the globe. Browse a contemporary Paia art gallery, and maybe find a bit of the island to take home with you, or visit the Maui Craft Guild, an art cooperative that functions both as a store and as an unofficial local art museum. If you have young children that want to be outdoors, make sure to take a family trip to Ho’okipia to see the sea turtles napping on the warm sand.
Paia is home to several stunning beaches, including “Baby Beach,” which has a protected lagoon, perfect for kids who love the water. In contrast to the gentle shores of Baby Beach, Ho’okipia Beach—the windsurfing capital of the world—is a bit more adventurous. When you stay at one of the Paia vacation rentals, you can pick a different beach for each day; just pack a picnic with ingredients from the natural food store and hit the road. Be sure to inquire about the best snorkeling near Paia as well. In the unlikely event of a rainy day, explore the many eccentric and quaint shops.
If you're hoping to enjoy some warm-weather activities on your vacation, September, August, October and July are the hottest months to visit, when temperatures average 78°F.
Like the rest of the towns lining the steep Road to Hana, Paia boasts lush, green vegetation, and sugar cane grows in abundance, a relic from the Old Paia Sugar Mill. Paia sea turtles lounge on the beach, and mongooses scurry through the brush. With some luck, you just might see a humpback whale off the shore. For a small area, Paia has a diverse coastline, from the closed-in reef in Baby Beach to the incredible open waves of Ho’okipia.
The nearest airport is in Kahului Airport (OGG), located 4.4 mi (7.1 km) from the city center. If you can't find a flight that's convenient for your trip, you could also fly into West Maui Airport (JHM), which is 20.2 mi (32.5 km) away.
