Enjoy all that Maui has to offer with family friendly lodgings in a primo locale thanks to Kamaole Sands Resort. With sprawling, tropical grounds and condos that feel like home instead of hotel you can shift into full vacation mode. Stock up on all of your crew’s favorites at the store (bonus points for hitting up one of the local farmers markets!) and you can cook up whatever you’re craving thanks to a fully equipped en-suite kitchen. Greet each day while sipping freshly brewed coffee on your own lanai (that’s island-speak for patio) before surprising the kiddos with your world-famous buttermilk pancakes for breakfast. Take your time and have seconds - the beach isn’t going anywhere! No need to schlep beach gear across expansive parking lots because Kamaole III Beach Park is right across the street - and Kam I and II aren’t much further. Gentle surf and soft sands make Kam III prime for swimming, boogie boarding, or just laying out in the Hawaii sunshine. Pack a lunch and picnic in the adjoining park area, or just mosey back to your suite - in minutes - to whip up something. For freshwater fun there’s a large outdoor pool, along with a shallow wading pool for little ones, and a poolside Snack Bar serving shaved ice. Mark Wednesday evening on your calendar, because that’s when the weekly Mai Tai party is held - live music, hula dancers, and free drinks (including non-alcoholic versions for the kiddos) make for an unforgettable night!

Inviting one- and two-bedroom condos at Kamaole Sands are spacious and homey, individually decorated with just the right amount of island flair and well appointed with all the comforts of home. Fully equipped kitchens make home cooking a breeze, letting you whip up your signature dish or experiment with new recipes. Roomy living areas with flat screen TV and ample seating (including a handy pull-out sofa) make the perfecting setting for spirited game nights and low key movie marathons alike. Air conditioning keeps you comfy in heat waves, while a furnished private patio is a lovely spot to just hang out in the fresh air.

All three Kamaole Beach Parks are uber family friendly, with gentles waves, soft sands and lifeguards on duty every day. To explore beyond Kamaole III, a leisurely stroll along the coast will bring you to Wailea, Maui’s top rated beach. If there’s snorkeling enthusiasts in your crew, surprise them with a quick drive down to Maluaka Beach, affectionately nicknamed “Turtle Town” by the locals - you’ll see why! In addition to classic oceanic adventures Maui is home to some pretty amazing cuisine. 808 Bistro and Da Kitchen are both super tasty lunch spots, and walkable from the resort. For date night check out Koiso Sushi Bar, dishing up high-quality specialty rolls and sashimi in a casual setting, or book a table at Ka’ana Kitchen, known for farm-to-table fare and creative island-inspired cuisine like Abalone Risotto or Kampachi Bacon.
