Even seasoned travelers to the Hawaiian Islands may have difficulty when considering which island is best for their lifestyle when\u00a0moving to Hawaii. In the third installment of a four blog post series, we will be exploring the island of Maui, and the unique qualities of this resort island that makes up the Hawaiian Archipelago for those who may be considering\u00a0moving to Hawaii.<\/p>\n

Maui \u2013 The Valley Isle<\/h2>\n

From long stretches of beautiful white sand beaches to the summit of Mount Haleakala, it is no wonder that Maui is consistently mentioned as the most popular island in the Hawaiian Islands. With a total population of just over 145,000+, it is the third largest island in size within the Hawaiian archipelago. While Wailuku is considered the county seat of Maui, Kahalui, the main airport location and center of commerce, has the greatest number of full time residents.<\/p>\n

Would’t you love to wake up to this every day?<\/p><\/div>\n

According to Hawaiian legend<\/a>, the island was named after the warrior demigod Maui. It is also known as the \u201cValley Isle\u201d, referring to the large separation between the Northwestern and Southeastern volcanic peaks that give Maui its unique geography. An awe-inspiring visit to the summit of Mount Haleakala to view the sunrise is often mentioned as a life changing event for many. Mount Haleakala rises an incredible 10,000+ feet above sea level, making it one the world\u2019s tallest mountains when measured from the seafloor.<\/p>\n

Other Maui towns of note that must not be missed are:\u00a0 Lahaina, Kihei, Ka\u2019anapali, Kapalua, Kula, Pa\u2019ia, and Hana. Of course, it\u2019s the impressive selection of beaches, snorkeling, windsurfing, kite-surfing, world-class golf and sport fishing that beckons new visitors, and keeps them coming back. It\u2019s not surprising why Humpback whales by the thousands migrate into Maui\u2019s warm waters year after year; why not consider joining them?<\/p>\n
