Maui Five Star Hotels

When it comes to island holiday getaways, few destinations can beat Maui. With its pristine waters, beaches, cliffs, buffs, forest and other scenic views that put the best of what nature has to offer on display, Maui is the ideal place to visit for just about anyone. The island is popular the world over as a great vacation spot which means that when you arrive in Maui, there will be more than enough choice afforded for places at which to stay. Maui five star hotels are a brilliant choice for hotels; what could honestly be better than living in the lap of luxury while exploring the scenic beauty of this island.

Maui is the second largest island in the state of Hawaii. Though many are dormant, many of the island's volcanoes were once active. In fact, geologists will tell you that the Maui's very existence is a direct result of volcanic eruptions from deep beneath the ocean that spewed lava over vast expanses of time to form land masses that are rich in iron and quartz. In Maui's case, two shield volcanoes adjacent to one another formed layers of cooling lava that eventually overlapped forming a unified island with an isthmus joining up two land masses that were once separate.

Maui's climate is somewhat complex. Each sector of the island experiences its own micro climatic conditions that are dependent on the topography of the island. Trade winds that blow onto the island are diverted and pushed along various features of the island's landscape. This leads to rainfall and cloud formation in some parts of the island. Wherever you are, the weather will be unique to that location as the sights and sounds you will be happy to take the time to absorb.

Your vacation in Maui will never be dull. Maui's natural environment is enough to make anyone appreciate the nature with wonders such as 'Oheo Gulch Kipahulu', 'Wailua Falls' and 'Waimoku Falls'. For those who possess a spirit of adventure, there are several trails that you can follow on guided tours. The 'Garden of Eden Botanical Arboretum' is not only a large sight dedicated solely to the celebration of plant-life but was also the set for the opening sequence of the original Jurassic Park movie. Wildlife is conserved via initiatives such as 'Haleakala National Park' and 'Waianapanapa State Wayside Park'. For a view of what lies beneath the surrounding ocean's water line, a Maui-Submarine tour is the best way to achieve a close-up view of the region's aquatic life.

Residents of Maui partake in festivals themed in aspects of Hawaii's rich tradition. Cultural performances and music festivals are common to the island. They provide citizens and visitors alike with the opportunity to revel in long-lived traditions while having a blast. During June each year, the 'Maui Film Festival' is held for four days, showcasing local directing, writing and acting talent. Attend this if foreign films interest you but if they don't then the Kapalua Wine and Food Festival may be more likely to suit your tastes better.

Very few people could say that a great way to spend time during the evening on vacations is by dining out. Maui has restaurants that are diverse in the food they serve, a fact which works to the advantage of everyone. Restaurants such as 'Casanova Italian', 'Mama's Fish House', 'Stella Blue's Café' and 'Waterfront' can be found inland and by the coastline. So while you'll have the chance to eat dinner along the beach, you'll also have the chance to dance and toast to life as a cool Pacific beach breeze accompanies you as you enjoy a night out in Maui.
