Sugar Beach Resort

Staying here means a lanai over a long, quiet stretch of sand you can walk for miles, with the pool, hot tub and grills a few steps from the beach and whales offshore in winter. It suits couples and repeat visitors who want a calm, central base for exploring Maui, not nightlife or a walkable town.

What guests say

Guests love

  • Miles of uncrowded sand. Guests walk the soft beach for miles in both directions, often early or at sunset, and many say they nearly had it to themselves.
  • Whales and canoes from the lanai. In winter many guests watch humpbacks from their lanai, and year-round they enjoy morning coffee while outrigger canoe teams paddle past.
  • Pool area right by the beach. A heated pool, kids' pool, hot tub, sauna and gas grills sit beside the sand, and guests say there are always loungers free.
  • Breakfast by beach walk. A short stroll down the sand reaches a bakery, farmers market, shave ice and an ABC store, and the on-site sandwich shop and bar is a favorite.

Worth knowing

  • Windy afternoons. Trade winds pick up most afternoons, making the beach, pool and grills blustery; a couple of guests also noticed a smell drifting in from a nearby pond.
  • Better for walking than snorkeling. Some guests found the water brown, rough or a little rocky right out front, so swimming and snorkeling depend on the day and the tide.
  • You will want a car. Beyond the beach-walk bakery strip and the on-site sandwich shop, restaurants and groceries are a drive away, and the road into town lacks a full sidewalk.
Choosing a unit: Ground-floor units put you a few steps from the pool and sand, while guests on the second floor and higher like the added privacy and wider view. Check whether a unit faces the ocean directly or looks over the courtyard, since a few lower units have only a limited water view.

Sugar Beach Resort 34
★★★★★ August 2026

We arrived early and the host was more than accommodating; he was fair and gave explicit instructions.The property was renovated so felt modern. The pool was clean and had plenty of seating around it.The only thing to remember is this property is at the very north end of Kihei. This does mean that to any restaurants / bars or a decent beach will need a car.

Everything was stellar- the communication, the location, the cleanliness of not only the unit but also the whole grounds were so beautiful. The view from the balcony is incredible. We enjoyed watching the canoes from the nearby Canoe Club make their way across the waters. We fully enjoyed our time here! Mahalo!

Condo was great very clean and peaceful. The condo had everything we needed. The property was very clean and well kept. There are plenty of lounge chairs to watch the sunset or sit by the ocean. The property was not super busy so it was very relaxing.

★★★★★ August 2026

Nice ocean front property on a beautiful, long beach. Condo is very well appointed (although would be nice to have more than two wine glasses). Snorkel equipment was a big plus. Outside terrace is nice but would be better if the cleaning crew wiped down the chairs, table and tile floor. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would consider returning.

View was awesome. Bed mostly comfortable. The dryer didn't really dry clothes, took quite a bit of time. Very clean and adequately stocked condo.Was wonderful to have dishwasher pods and laundry soap. Pool, hot tub and sauna were awesome. Always had a seat by the pool. The beach is the best.

★★★★★ August 2026

The host was very responsive anytime we reached out. When using the shower, the floor beside it would get extremely wet which was right in front of the toilet. There were guest photos that appeared to have a great sunset but for us and this time of year they were hidden by the mountain. The view from the Lanai was great, we ate almost every breakfast and some dinners there. We walked both directions on the beach every day we were there. We initially had an issue with the washer, but it seemed to fix itself although it appears to need a good cleaning. The dryer took quite a long time to dry; dryer vent was directed into the shower area and was in need of a good cleaning. Beach towels and equipment on the Lanai were a nice touch.

Super clean place that had all the stuff for enjoying the beach, hanging out on the Lanai, and exploring the island! Good location too. Pool, jacuzzi, sauna, patio was right out the back door and the waterfall/koi pond was a nice bonus!!

★★★★★ August 2026

The hosts were super friendly and welcoming. The view is amazing. The location is great. I’m not sure if the resort has been hit by the repercussions of the fire because it seemed a little unpopulated, which is good if you like peace and quiet. Very easy to get around from this location.

Always a great time. Owners are very nice and accommodating. Great beach, pool and grounds. Close enough to stores and restaurants yet, just far enough away, to be away from crowds. I have already booked my return.
