Best Honeymoon Hotels on Maui: Where to Stay for a Romantic Hawaii Honeymoon

Maui has long been one of the most romantic destinations in Hawaii, and for good reason. Mornings start slowly, afternoons can be spent by the ocean, and nearly every evening ends with a sunset.

If you're planning a Maui honeymoon, choosing where to stay will shape a lot of your trip. Wailea is ideal for couples who want beautiful beaches, restaurants and luxury resorts close together, while Kapalua offers a quieter, greener setting in West Maui.

From intimate adults only properties to oceanfront resorts, these are some of the best hotels to consider for a honeymoon on Maui.

Hotel Wailea

Tucked into the hills above Wailea, Hotel Wailea feels noticeably different from Maui's larger beachfront resorts.

The all suite property is adults only, making it particularly appealing for honeymooners looking for a quieter and more intimate stay. The hillside setting offers beautiful ocean views, lush grounds and a sense of privacy while still keeping you close to Wailea's beaches and restaurants.

Although the hotel isn't directly on the sand, guests have access to transportation within Wailea and beach concierge services.

Perfect for: Couples looking for a quiet, romantic and adults only honeymoon.

Photo idea: Plan your couples photography session around sunset on one of Wailea's nearby beaches, then head back to the hotel or into Wailea for dinner.

Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea

For the classic luxury Maui honeymoon, Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea is difficult to overlook.

The resort sits directly along Wailea Beach and offers an adults only infinity pool, oceanfront couples treatments, private cabanas and romantic dining experiences overlooking the water.

You can easily spend an entire day without leaving the resort, but you're also in one of the most convenient areas of Maui for restaurants, beaches and exploring South Maui.

For honeymooners who want their trip to feel effortless, this is a beautiful option.

Perfect for: A classic luxury honeymoon with incredible service and direct beach access.

Photo idea: Schedule your honeymoon photos shortly before sunset, then turn the evening into a date with dinner afterward.

Andaz Maui at Wailea Resort

Couples who prefer something a little more modern may love Andaz Maui at Wailea Resort.

Set directly along Mōkapu Beach, the property has a contemporary, minimal feel with tiered pools, ocean views and plenty of beautiful spaces throughout the resort.

Its Wailea location also makes it easy to combine slow resort days with dinners, beach days and exploring other parts of South Maui.

The overall aesthetic feels polished without being overly traditional, making it an especially good fit for couples who care about design.

Perfect for: Design conscious couples who want a modern Maui resort experience.

Photo idea: Keep your honeymoon session simple with barefoot photographs along the beach around golden hour.

The Ritz Carlton Maui, Kapalua

Also located in Kapalua, The Ritz Carlton Maui offers another option for couples who prefer the quieter side of the island.

The property is surrounded by expansive grounds and West Maui scenery, with dining, a full service spa and easy access to the wider Kapalua area.

Kapalua also tends to feel more nature focused than Wailea. If golf, spa days, coastal walks and quieter evenings sound like your kind of honeymoon, it's worth considering.

Perfect for: Couples looking for a peaceful resort experience in West Maui.

Wailea or Kapalua for Your Maui Honeymoon?

If you're deciding between the two main luxury resort areas, think about how you picture spending your honeymoon.

Choose Wailea if you want: beautiful beaches, lots of luxury hotel options, restaurants nearby, easier access to South Maui and a polished resort atmosphere.

Choose Kapalua if you want: lush scenery, a quieter pace, dramatic coastline and a honeymoon that feels a little more removed.

You really can't go wrong with either. They're simply different versions of Maui.

Don't Forget to Photograph the Two of You

Your honeymoon will probably produce hundreds of photos, but most will inevitably be pictures of one another, selfies or quick photos taken by someone passing by.

Setting aside even 30 minutes for professional honeymoon photos means you both actually get to be in the photographs together.

And it doesn't need to feel like a formal photoshoot.

At Captured in Hawaii, our couples sessions are relaxed and simple. Your photographer will guide you when needed, but much of the session is spent walking along the beach, moving, talking and enjoying the evening together.

One of our favorite ways to plan it is to schedule your session around golden hour, get dressed for the evening, spend a little time together by the ocean and head straight to dinner afterward.

It becomes part of the honeymoon rather than another item on the itinerary.
