Summary:
Make the first decision of the day an easy one: coffee on the lanai or a barefoot walk along five miles of Sugar Beach. Sugar Beach Resort 523, a one-bedroom condo, sleeps four and puts the beachfront right outside, with the shared pool, hot tub, sauna, and BBQ grills ready when you want a break from the sand. Air conditioning keeps the home comfortable, while a full kitchen, WiFi, cable TV, and in-home washer and dryer handle the everyday details. Head into Kihei for a casual dinner or stock up for beach lunches, then return in time for a wide Maui sunset. Kamaole Beach Parks and Wailea are within reach when you feel like exploring farther south. This is a sweet, straightforward base for a small family or couple who want their Maui vacation to feel close to the water from the start.

The Space:
The inside is set up for easy beach living, with a private lanai, full kitchen with dishwasher, air conditioning, WiFi, cable TV, and an in-home washer and dryer. One bedroom and one bath sleep up to four guests. Make a quick breakfast, pack for the beach, and return to a comfortable space where the shared pool, hot tub, sauna, and grills add options without adding effort.

Guest Access:
Guests at Sugar Beach Resort enjoy access to the shared communal pool, hot tub, and BBQ grills right along the shore in Kihei. The building offers an elevator, disabled parking spot, and accessible-height features for easy access. Beach access and landscaped grounds with a garden round out the on-site amenities.

The Neighborhood:
Sugar Beach Resort is on North Kihei's long, open shoreline, where a beach walk can stretch for miles and the water is right outside the resort. Central Kihei is a short drive for groceries, casual restaurants, and coffee, while South Maui favorites such as Kamaole Beach Parks and Wailea are within reach for a change of scene. Come back for the trade winds and a wide Pacific sunset, with views toward the West Maui Mountains on clear evenings. It suits families and couples who want their Maui days to begin at the sand.

Getting Around:
Kahului Airport is about 20 to 30 minutes away, an easy drive down Maui's sunny south shore. A rental car is recommended to make the most of Kihei's many beaches, shops, and restaurants spread along the coast. Some stretches near South Kihei Road are walkable to dining and shopping, while beaches are often just minutes away. Parking is typically available on site, in lots, or along nearby streets.

The condo had everything we needed. We splurged on ocean front it was the best money spent. We enjoyed morning coffee and cocktails every evening on the Lanai. Saved money cooked a few meals in the condo and making our own drinks. We saw several whales! The location of the condo was perfect. It was in the middle of many activities we wanted to do without lots of backtracking. It was quiet perfect for what we were looking for. Only downside was the water along sugar beach was brown. Perfect walking beach.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sugar Beach! The condo was perfect for 2 people, the views were incredible and the centralized location made getting around the island to explore a breeze. We especially loved the welcome basket and treats to enjoy during our stay.

The unit was very convenient, and had everything we needed. Very comfortable king bed. Nice pool, bbqs, parking. Our only complaint is Sugar Beach is very windy much of the time, more so than other parts of Maui, and Maui is windy! Dina’s Sandwitch is handy, but not very good food. Lots of better choices for good food nearby.

We love Sugar Beach Resort! This unit is high up and in the better of the two buildings. It is completely well equipped with everything you could need. We stayed 15 nights and felt like we were at home. There is no better view anywhere in Maui. The whale watching form the lanai was unreal! We will be back. Already planning next year.

Insider tips

Good to know at Sugar Beach Resort

  • For a long morning walk, head along Sugar Beach toward Maalaea, where miles of soft, continuous sand let you walk for an hour or more with your toes in the water.
  • Early in the morning, watch the Kihei Canoe Club paddlers launch their outrigger canoes beside the resort, and consider joining one of their visitor paddles out on the bay.
  • A short stroll down the beach, Sugar Beach Bake Shop and a small farmers market make an easy morning outing for fresh pastries and local fruit.
