A veritable nature lover’s playground, Maui is a wonderland of lush green jungle, gorgeous majestic mountains, and of course, pristine beaches that are regularly voted as some of the best on Earth. As the second largest of the islands that make up Hawaii, there’s a stunning range of diversity on Maui, from coral-filled coves and windswept surf spots to charming coastal communities. The laidback island is close enough to some of the other islands that you can easily visit them in the space of a day, opening up the possibilities of discovering volcanoes, a myriad of beaches and sites of historical and cultural interest.
