While many of Hawaii's beach-gilded islands are known for their luxury hotels and plentiful amenities, the petite community of Ualapue offers a low-key escape. Situated on the southeastern shore of Molokai, it's known for its peaceful shoreline, historic heiaus and unspoiled backdrop of green hills, draped in lush, tropical vegetation. While there are plenty of Ualapue vacation rentals to choose from and amenities in nearby Kaunakakai, you won't find hulking hotels or shopping malls here. That's what makes it unique.

Things to do

Discover Hawaiian heritage in Ualapue

Looking for Hawaiian heritage? Ualapue is home to a fascinating pre-contact archaeological site, which has been designated as a National Historic Landmark. The site is the 2nd largest of its kind in Hawaii and consists of 6 heiaus, native Hawaiian temples, the largest of which is Ili'ili'opae. Featuring 4 tiers that rise to form a striking plateau, it is 287 feet tall and is still considered a sacred site. According to local legend, it was built during a single night using boulders that were passed from person-to-person from the Wailau Valley, on the island's north shore.
