Romantic things to do on Maui for couples and honeymooners

Romance comes naturally on Maui

Maui has long been one of the most popular honeymoon and couples destinations in Hawai‘i, and Kā‘anapali Beach offers a setting that feels both iconic and intimate. Here, romance isn’t about elaborate plans. It’s about shared moments shaped by ocean breezes, golden sunsets and unhurried time together.

Couples staying at OUTRIGGER Kā‘anapali Beach Resort or OUTRIGGER Honua Kai Resort & Spa enjoy direct access to one of the world’s most celebrated beaches, along with experiences designed to foster connection.

Sunset moments and meaningful experiences

Evenings often begin with a sunset walk along Kaanapali Beach, where the sky shifts through shades of pink and violet as Lanai and Molokai glow on the horizon. It’s a simple ritual that quickly becomes a favorite part of the day.

During the day, couples can participate in cultural activities like hula or lei-making, learning together in a relaxed, welcoming environment. These shared experiences add depth to a romantic getaway, offering insight into Hawaiian traditions while creating new memories side by side.

Adventure for two

The outrigger canoe experience is especially meaningful for couples and honeymooners. Paddling in sync across calm waters reflects harmony and partnership, making it a symbolic way to begin or celebrate a life together. Snorkeling and paddleboarding for two offer quieter moments of exploration, often accompanied by sea turtles and schools of tropical fish.

For pure relaxation, beachside cabanas and daybeds provide a private retreat with uninterrupted ocean views and convenient food and beverage service.

Romantic dining by the sea

Dinner at Maui Brewing Co. adds a lively yet romantic note to the evening. Oceanfront tables, island-inspired cuisine and live Hawaiian music create a laid-back atmosphere that still feels special. Many couples also choose to participate in the lei kukui departure ceremony, a reflective tradition that honors connection, enlightenment and return.
