If you’re looking for a special place for your destination wedding in Maui that highlights all of the beauty of the tropics, then look no further than Maluaka Beach! This Maui gem features a long stretch of golden sand and beautiful views.

We’ve got a lot of helpful info about a Maluaka Beach wedding, including how to get there, where to park, and where to dine afterwards. We’ll also outline the different options for a wedding here, since you’ll be able to choose from different times of day and different sides of the beach. Follow along and we’ll detail out what makes this spot truly spectacular for a Destination wedding in Maui!

We’ve hand-selected this beach for destination weddings in Maui because of its epic waters and beautiful greenery. Maluaka Beach is a long, narrow beach with two unique sides – each with an abundance of backdrops and each with its own parking lot!

North Maluaka Beach

The north side of Maluaka Beach is overflowing with leggy trees, lava rocks, and a great view of the ocean! This is the right-hand side of the beach if you’re looking toward the ocean.

The north side of the beach features a grassy lawn and rocky embankments. If you look to your right, you’ll see the West Maui Mountains, and to the left is a grassy hillside and views of Molokini Crater and Kaho‘olawe.

If you select the northern side of Maluaka Beach, you’ll park on the street or in the small lot near Keawala`i church. After parking, it’s just a 2-3 minute walk to the beach. There is also a pullover where you can get dropped off right by the beach. This makes it an ideal choice if anyone in your group has mobility difficulties.

The North end of the beach is best for smaller groups of about 10 or less, as the tide can make the area pretty narrow.

South Maluaka Beach

The South end of Maluaka beach is the left-hand side as you look toward the ocean. It can be busier but is also more spacious, so it works well for a larger group. It has similar features to the Northern end of the beach. If you look to the right you’ll see a broader view of Maui, and to the left you’ll see an outcropping of dramatic lava rock with Molokini Crater peaking around the corner.

The southern end of Maluaka Beach has designated beach parking lot. From there, you’ll follow a sidewalk that leads to the sand.

Maui Destination Wedding Location Details

Maluaka Beach is in the Makena area of Maui. Beaches in this prime locale are often graced with clear skies and great lighting for photos!

• 5-15 minute drive from Wailea
• 15-25 minutes from Kihei
• 1 – 1.5 hour drive from the west side.

There is plenty of parking on either side of the beach. You can access either end from either parking lot, but it’s easiest to park closer to where you’ll have the ceremony.

Morning and Sunset Weddings at Maluaka Beach

Maluaka Beach is a great choice for either a morning or sunset destination wedding in Maui!

We begin our morning ceremonies at Maluaka Beach around 8:30 AM, before it gets too hot and busy. Typically a morning wedding here has calm blue waters, clear skies, and great visibility.

The beach is fairly quiet in the morning with just a few adventurers out accessing the beach for snorkeling. We also sometimes get very welcomed wedding crashers – sea turtles peaking out of the ocean!

Sunset weddings at Maluaka Beach have a dreamy look, since the sun is shining on you from across the ocean. The exact look of the sunset varies day to day. We sometimes see a romantic golden glow, dreamy pastels, a vibrant flaming sunset, or gentle blue-gray skies.

There will be a few more people around for a sunset wedding, but we can typically find our own little spot to enjoy the ceremony.

Having a Reception after a Maluaka Beach Wedding

Whether you elope with no guests, or have a group of up to 30, you’ll probably want to choose a nice place to dine after your Maluaka Beach wedding.

This location is only 5-15 minutes away from some of the top restaurants on Maui, most of which offer a romantic setting and group dining options. You’ll want to consider any of the Wailea restaurants or resorts for a reception to keep from driving too far between locations.

We’ll be happy to recommend some great restaurant ideas for your reception, depending on your exact vision and ceremony plans for your destination wedding in Maui!

Other Considerations

• This beach for a destination wedding on Maui has public restrooms and shower stations.
• Molokini Crater and the island of Kaho‘olawe can be seen on the horizon.
• This beach can sometimes have many beachgoers, but we’re almost always able to find a semi-private spot.
• The ocean tends to be aquamarine.
• Depending on which side of the beach you marry on, this location can work for a group of 2 to 30.
• Maluaka Beach offers some of the most spectacular scenery. Keep scrolling for more!

Come see one of our recent Maui weddings: Beauty Beyond Words ~ Rebecca & Angelo’s Maui Beach Wedding

Kanaha Beach Park is a Maui gem that is sure to fill you with the Aloha Spirit! It’s our most overlooked Maui beach wedding location, but with its unique features and benefits, Kanaha Beach could easily be the best fit for your Maui wedding.

Our company’s founder, Karma Hill, considers Kanaha Beach one of the top sandy shores on the island! So there’s sure to be something extra special about it! With deeply hued waters paired against the greenery of the West Maui Mountains, your wedding photos will showcase a unique side of Maui that not many visitors have the luxury of seeing.

Where is Kanaha Beach Park Located?

Kanaha Beach is located minutes from the Kahului Airport and roughly 45 minutes away from the island’s popular resort areas. Its distance from the top hotels keeps many beachgoers and weddings away. That’s also what makes it such a great choice for a beach wedding, though. We’ve never seen multiple weddings at this beach like we have at our other Maui beach wedding locations. And on weekdays it’s easy to find a spot away from anyone relaxing or exercising on the beach!

Kanaha Beach Park Details

Kanaha Beach features a variety of backdrops and areas to explore! Located on the coastal line of Kahului, this location is a rare gem in the busy(ish) Maui city.

• 15 minutes from the Paia area
• 40 minutes from Kihei
• 1 hour or more from Lahaina

There’s plenty of parking at this Maui beach wedding location. Our wedding coordinator will meet you in the parking lot and guide you through the trees to the best spots for capturing your special memories. Morning hours here are vivid and blue, while sunsets tend to be a bit more subdued.

Other Considerations For Kanaha Beach

• You’ll only want to choose Kanaha Beach for a weekday wedding. Since it’s in the residential area of the island, it’s extra busy on the weekends when locals are enjoying the beach with their ʻohana
• With several parking lots, there’s plenty of parking at this Maui beach wedding location
• Kanaha can be a bit windy but we can oftentimes find a spot that’s tucked behind a hill to keep you and your guests out of the wind
• The park has picnic areas and showers to rinse your feet before you leave
• Kitesurfers can often be spotted in the distance and will use the beach to access the water
• Sea turtles are frequently seen in the ocean
• This beach is somewhat secluded on weekdays so there are days with very few beach-goers

At this Maui beach wedding location, the sun sets behind the West Maui Mountains, but sunsets here still offer dreamy and magical skies.

You can find more gorgeous photos captured at Kanaha Beach here. And if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact us!

Maui beach wedding locations don’t get much better than Lahaina Shores. This Maui gem is right in the heart of Lahaina Town and sits in front of the beautifully designed 505 Front Street. Follow along and we’ll review why Lahaina Shores is on our list of the all-time best beaches for weddings!

Lahaina Shores is one of our favorite Maui wedding locations because of its convenience, consistent weather and dynamic sunsets. It’s close to the resort areas of Lahaina, Kaanapali and Kapalua and many restaurants on Lahaina’s famed front street. This location has a lot to offer!

Maui Wedding Location Details

Lahaina Shores is located in Lahaina Town on the West side of Maui.

• 45 min to 1 hr from Kihei
• 10-25 min from Kaanapali & Kapalua

If you’re a nautical-lover at heart, then Lahaina Shores is the perfect Maui wedding location. Because of its close proximity to Lahaina Harbor, this sweet little beach is often dotted with sailboats drifting on the horizon.

Pacific’o restaurant and The Feast at Lele front this beach, offering great reception options just steps from your ceremony!

Lahaina Shores Beach Resort and Condos are also right next to the beach, so you could stay, get married and have a wonderful reception dinner all within a few steps of each other!

The weather at Lahaina Shores Beach is extremely consistent, it rarely rains and the winds usually stay light. It’s also a great back up location for other beaches with more volatile weather like Ironwoods.

There is a limited amount of parking on the street and in the public lot at Lahaina Shores Beach. But there is also a paid parking lot across from the beach that always has plenty of spaces, so you don’t have to worry about there not being enough spots for you and your guests.

You’ll meet your onsite coordinator at the front of the 505 Front Street shops. It’s an easy meet-up spot for guests who may be driving over separately as well.

If the tide is low enough, we’ll have the ceremony closer to the Lahaina Shores Beach Resort, where we can avoid the noise of the surf school and restaurants. Otherwise we’ll pick a spot closer to the shopping center that has enough space for your group to gather and for your photographer to capture the ceremony.

After the ceremony, we love to take the newlyweds all around the beach and surrounding park for fun and romantic portraits!

Other Considerations

• Lahaina Shores is a popular spot for surfers just learning to ride the waves, so it can be busy when surf lessons are in session.
• A high tide can limit the space we have for a ceremony at Lahaina Shores Beach, so it works best for groups of about 15 or less.
• Since it’s next to shopping, restaurants, and a hotel, this beach doesn’t feel very secluded. It’s perfect for couples who want a fun surf-town or Vintage Hawaii vibe for their wedding.
• Unlike most of our favorite Maui beach locations, Lahaina Shores Beach is busiest in the morning, so we recommend it for sunset weddings.
• With 505 Front Street, canoes, a grass shack, and other fun items, this beach offers a variety of great props and backdrops that you simply can’t find at other locales!
• Keep scrolling to see all of the whimsical charm!

And of course, as a westward-facing beach, you just can’t beat the vivid sunsets at this Maui wedding location!

Come check out our recent Maui weddings at Lahaina Shores! And for more information, don’t hesitate to contact us!

Po’olenalena Beach is a gorgeous place to elope in Maui that you have to see to believe. With glistening golden sand and vivid aquamarine waters, this beach has everything tropical dreams are made of! Keep reading for all the details on what makes Po’olenalena truly spectacular.

With lava rock embankments and leggy palms, there’s a backdrop for every vibe and mood. Situated on the south side, this shore rarely sees a rainy day, although it’s been known to have a rainbow… or two!

Po’olenalena Beach Location Details

This gorgeous shore to elope in Maui is located in the heart of Wailea, just down the road from Gannon’s restaurant. With two unique sides to the shore, there’s sure to be a backdrop that’s perfect for you!

• 5 minutes from Wailea
• 1.5 hours from the Lahaina area

There’s plenty of parking in the unpaved parking lot. You can easily find the lot by taking a right turn off Makena Drive. Our coordinator will meet you near the lot and guide you to the spots that will best showcase the vibe you’re going for. There’s plenty of variety at this location to elope in Maui, so let us know what you’re looking for and we’ll seek out perfect photo opportunities.

Po’olenalnea Beach is such a sweet setting to elope in Maui, but it can easily accommodate up to 30 guests thanks to its ample parking and spaciousness. Your guests will appreciate how close it is to Wailea & Kihei, but it’s less crowded than some of the beaches right in front of the resorts!

Afterwards it’s an easy drive to a Wailea restaurant to celebrate with your group after your seaside nuptials!

Other Considerations

• This beach can get busy, but we’re usually able to find a fairly secluded spot.
• With plenty of greenery and rock formations, this beach to elope in Maui is truly a gem!
• Sunsets here are often vivid and enchanting, with a perfect view of the sun setting into the horizon.
• A rustic forest offers unique backdrops for those seeking a more wild feel.

With gorgeous sunsets and vividly blue mornings, Po’olenalena is a Maui treasure! To see more of this gorgeous location to elope in Maui, click here. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact us!

The secret is out… and we’re thrilled to announce our newest Maui wedding venue — The King Kamehameha Golf Club! Lux and elegant, this property was created using authentic 1950’s blueprints by Frank Loyd Wright, including details for a house designed for the queen of beauty herself — Marilyn Monroe. To welcome this gorgeous venue into the fold, we got together with our favorite vendors and organized a styled-shoot worthy of any pop culture icon!

Built in 1993, this Maui wedding venue is decked out with modern utilities while still maintaining the original Frank Loyd Wright design. With sweeping bi-coastal views and a convenient central-Maui location, the King Kamehameha Golf Club is a must-see for those in love with art deco glam!

For our ceremony shots, we utilized the lovely Kahalawai terrace. Located on the west end of the property, this sweet grassy lawn overlooks towering pines, both coastlines, and the expanse of Maui.

To emphasize all the retro glam of this Maui wedding venue, Della from Dellables knocked it out of the park and designed a custom arch that gave us all the Great Gatsby feels! But her talents didn’t stop there — she also used her artist’s eye to arrange gorgeous blooms of white calla lilies and tropical flora.

To capture it all, the Karma Hill Photography Team brought their A-game and created photo magic behind the lens! One of our favorite aspects of styled shoots is seeing the venue through the photographer’s eye — KHP always manages to find the special features and capture those details with their light and airy style.

Acting as our own Marilyn Monroe for the day was the beautiful Kiah Ward. We had a blast working with her as she showed off those dreamy stares and then flexed her guns between shoots. This woman is nothing short of a queen.

Adorning Kiah is an intricately beaded gown from Elly’s Formal Wear. We loved how the geometric patterns tied in with the retro theme of the ceremony decor. With a draped mid-drift and streamlined silhouette, this was a bridal dress fit for a bombshell!

The team at Salon 253 were our makeup gurus for the day. We’re always blown away by their ability to highlight a bride’s unique beauty and still bring all of that rich drama! With a bold brow and lash, Salon 253 accented Kiah’s natural glow while dollying her up in retro glam.

Marilyn Monroe acted in How to Marry a Millionaire, but as gorgeous as this venue is, you don’t need to be a millionaire (or marry one!) to book it! With a reasonable site fee, we’re offering a base package on the Kahalawai terrace for only $4250. This package includes:

* Up To 2 Hours Of Use Of Ceremony Lawn 
* Maui Minister/Officiant
* Licensing Assistance
* Leis For Ceremony Exchange
* Bridal Bouquet From Our Floral Selections
* 1.5 Hours Of Professional Photography Coverage By The Karma Hill Photography Team
* 100 Retouched High-Resolution Images Included. Additional Edited Images, Professional Prints, And Albums Available For Purchase A La Carte.
* Up To 40 White Garden Chairs
* Water Station
* On-Site Coordinator To Ensure Your Day Goes Smoothly.* Our List Of Top Recommended Vendors On Maui For Services Such As Hair And Makeup, Transportation, Restaurants, Etc.
* Complimentary Consultation With A Maui Based Travel Agent
* Complimentary Concierge Service To Book Activities, Restaurants, Tee Times And More!

Or if you’re planning a smaller elopement, the Hoapili Gardens may be the perfect option. With a rock waterfall and river features, this special ceremony location features an expansive view, a cute wooden bridge, and an abundance of greenery. For just $3550, you can say “I do” to your special-someone at this unique and lux Maui wedding venue.

We recognize that with the new restrictions and the ever-changing atmosphere, many couples are opting for simple yet beautiful elopements, so we’re offering special add-ons that will allow you to live-stream the ceremony to loved ones back home. Everyone will be glowing along with you!

Following the ceremony shoot, we explored the towering structure of the clubhouse. Featuring unique window-work, this Maui wedding venue will leave an unforgettable impression — trust us, we’re still swooning over it!

Just a few queens slaying…

From intricate glass details to an arching stairway and a golden elevator that looks like a relic from the mid-century, this Maui wedding venue is flooded with gorgeous art deco elements that will take your breath away. We’re SO excited for the day when we can explore the property with a future lucky couple!

We’d like to give a big shout out to the amazing vendors who helped us turn this dream shoot into a reality. Dellables, Salon 253, and Elly’s Formal Wear, as always, it was such a pleasure to work with such a talented crew! Thank you to The King Kamehameha Golf Club for opening up your gorgeous venue to allow this shoot! And, of course, thank you Kiah for being our bombshell bride for the day!

We can’t wait for the time when we can coordinate a wedding at this spectacular Maui venue and turn a couple’s own dream into reality! We’ll be here waiting for you.

After helping their niece elope here a few years ago, Amber & Stephen were inspired to have their own unforgettable vow renewal on Maui. Married for over 17 years, this couple wanted a celebration that was special and meaningful yet still fun and casual. And we think their Big Day was that and then some!

Amber & Stephen first said “I do” in a courthouse and felt the rustic shore of Ironwoods was the perfect place to say “I do again.” With heavy rains forecasted, our couple was happily surprised to be greeted with a glistening ocean and warm sands on the morning of their celebration.

We love how Amber tossed the classic white dress aside and showed off her spunk with a bold print of cascading blues! And with Stephen decked in a casual polo and shorts to match, this couple is ready for a Maui style celebration!

Residing on the Garden Ilse for part of the year, our couple knows how to stay comfortable on the shoreside. Although the time they spend on Maui is becoming less and less now that they have two sweet grandbabies!

And speaking of sweet, their little girl Mia joined the party, offering some congratulatory kisses of her own.

Sometimes, the love is so bright, you need a good pair of shades!

Mahalo nui loa, Amber & Stephen, for choosing us to coordinate your awesome vow renewal on Maui. We hope you enjoyed your breakfast at the Plantation in Kapalua, and we wish you all the very best in the years ahead…

This Hawaii venue wedding at Gannon’s in Wailea was a celebration to remember! No lad or las could have been happier than Donelle & Steven on this special day. Bright and vivid, the weather showcased the tropics at its finest, warmth punctuated by a sweet ocean breeze. And in addition to the tang of the sea, rolling through the air that morning was the melodic sound of the highlands… because no true Scottman’s wedding would be complete without the unmistakable legato of the bagpipes!

Our couple’s love story began in a modern way–over the internet! And now our Canadian bride and Scottish groom have brought along their closest family and traveled to the middle of the Pacific Ocean to say “I do” on one of the most beautiful islands in the world! Keep scrolling for all of the magic (and kilts)!

Decked out in black and his family’s blue and red tartan, Steven was the epitome of a groom in love. And it was hard to look away from Donnelle’s simple yet sophisticated style. Reminiscent of old Gaelic ballads, her style perfectly complemented their unique love story.

Following the ceremony, we stepped down to the shore of Southside Beach to capture some intimate moments between the couple…

And what happens when a kilt, a lovely couple, and a Maui seaside all walk into a photo… SPECTACULAR images are captured!

Mahalo nui loa, Donnelle & Steven, for trusting us with your unforgettable Hawaii venue wedding. We wish you an abundance of love and music in the years ahead…

Honest and true, Jessica & James’ beach wedding on Maui was bursting with smiles and positive energy–we could not get enough of these adorable love birds!

As a restaurant manager, Jessica had no idea that her visiting chef wouldn’t just ignite the burners, but he would also ignite her heart! It was love at first sight. A year after they met, as the morning ripened into the day, James proposed and their journey into marriage began…

And in the early light of a Maui day, as the soft morning sun cascaded across the sands of Maluaka Beach, Jessica and James said: “I do.”

This beautiful capture of James perfectly encapsulates his love. The connection between these two is positively magical!

This couple clearly has good taste… in the kitchen and in their closet! James’ cobalt and teal scroll-patterned tie makes a splash.

And we can’t get enough of the elegant beadwork and button-down artistry of Jessica’s ivory mermaid gown.

Goddess or bride? …Why not both?

“Oh, my god, Becky… look at her bouquet…” We love, love, love when couples let loose and enjoy their special day! With the echo of “I do” still ringing in the air, not even the Maui sun can outshine these two souls in love!

Congratulations, Jessica and James! Thank you for trusting us with your enchanting beach wedding on Maui. We wish you all the fire in the years ahead!

Ten years into their relationship, Caitlin and Ricky were relaxing on the couch when she turned to him and casually said, “Hey, let’s have a beach wedding in Maui.” Well, actually, she said, “I think we should get married.” It was exactly how Caitlin always imagined it would be, an open and honest conversation where they made the big decision together.

And it was after researching wedding options in their home state of Washington, that the two made another big decision together. They realized they could arrange a family vacation to Hawaii and have a destination wedding in Maui for the same price tag… So, of course, that’s exactly what they did!

As high school sweethearts, Caitlin and Ricky have her brother, Devin, to thank for their union.

Or, as Caitlin so frankly (and hilariously!) puts it: “Devin was annoyed that Ricky started talking to me. So I talked to Ricky to intentionally annoy my brother… and our love grew from there.” Sibling rivalry is truly a magical thing!

There was no shortage of laughs and smiles with this magnetic couple! The deep and honest love that Caitlin and Ricky feel for each other was palpable. It was abundantly clear that this marriage wasn’t just between high school sweethearts… but also between best friends.

Keep scrolling for all of the tenderhearted moments…

Mahalo nui loa, Caitlin & Ricky, for choosing Simple Maui Wedding to plan your shoreside ceremony. We wish you all the friendship and genuine love in the years ahead…

Katy & Matt said “I do” on Po’olenalena Beach ten years ago … and this month they celebrated their diamond anniversary with a Maui vow renewal on the very same shore.

The couple remarked that not only were the date and location a perfect match to the original ceremony, but the weather was identical as well! It’s almost as if the couple had transcended time. Only now they had two beautiful cherubs in tow! 

Ecstatic to be back on the island, Katy and Matt were hoping to spend more time exploring the hidden locales and relaxing in the breeze. They also looked forward to watching the humpbacks splash in the ocean.

In fact, that’s one reason the couple decided to have their wedding in January. The koholā (Humpback whales) migrate to the islands in the early winter months. And like the majestic whales, this family’s radiance was a sight to behold!

Katy describes the island of Maui as her happy place, her “Disney World.” And looking at these pics of their children having a blast during the ceremony … we think it’s safe to say that the kids feel the same.

This stunning shot overlooking the waterfront has us utterly floored. What a showstopping capture of the beautiful couple and the mirrored oasis. It’s a blissful image perfectly suited for such a special anniversary, symbolizing all that has been and all that has yet to come …

“Cherubs” truly is the only way to describe these two … We’re smitten!

Thank you, Katy and Matt, for allowing us to share in your special day. We wish your family all the happiness and whale splashes in the decades to come …

When Abi & Olu’s Maui Elopement photos came into the office after their wedding the whole team was all “ooooohing and aaaahhhing” over just how gorgeous they were. Not only was their love radiating from the photos, their bridal style and floral was ridiculously on point.

Abi’s form-fitting mermaid dress with a flowing train looked stunning on the beach and on her! Olu’s tailored blue suit was perfect for the overcast morning weather, the soft tone complimented the sky and ocean perfectly. We also LOVED the custom bouquet Abi chose with the all-white tropical flowers and flowing greenery.

The Couple’s Story

They met through a mutual friend of Abi’s, they didn’t live in the same city but when Olu came for a visit they quickly fell in love! They are both active in their church and enjoy volunteering as a quality way to spend time together. They chose a Maui wedding because they didn’t want a traditional wedding and getting married on the beach sounded perfect. Although they had never been to Hawaii before, they loved everything about the idea of having a destination wedding.

The Wedding Day

They decided on a morning wedding because they wanted bright blue ocean in their photos, but Maui decided that it was going to be soft overcast light that morning. We actually LOVE the way it turned out in photos making everything look so dreamy. We also loved the fact that Abi wanted some getting ready photos. It helped document the day and showed the process of getting ready to marry her sweetheart. After an intimate ceremony, the couple turned on their modeling skills for some gorgeous couples photos, they were so natural in front of the camera! They then had the rest of the day to enjoy together and get the honeymoon started!

Thank you Abimbola & Oluwapelumi for trusting us to plan your Maui Elopement! It was truly our pleasure to have been a part of your day!

Move over Folgers, the new best part of waking up is getting to marry the love of your life! That’s just what Ty and Erika did at their beautiful morning Maui Destination Wedding!

Their Love Story

Fate brought these two together when Erika was interning at Ty’s college all the way from Brazil! They fell in love and dated long distance for three years going back and forth between Texas and Brazil. They are finally getting to be together living in Boston and loving the life they are building together.

Erika had never been to Hawaii at all and Ty had been two other islands but not Maui. So it was they got to experience Maui for the first time together. When they decided on a destination wedding in Maui they said they wanted to book us because our website was so well put together and made them confident we would put the same level of detail into planning their wedding, Thank you two!!

Their Wedding Day

Erika wanted the first time Ty saw her on their Maui wedding day to be when she was making her entrance to their ceremony, it was a beautiful moment to see Ty admiring his soon to be wife walking towards him to the ceremony.

Surrounded by close family and Erika’s dad on a live stream, they said their vows to a bright sunny morning on a nearly empty beach with the sound of waves crashing nearby and soft ocean breezes. After the ceremony, they celebrated with a cake-cutting ceremony and then some beautiful photos to remember the beautiful morning Maui destination wedding.

We especially loved that they chose to add on our Just Maui’d sign with floral, it looked so pretty against the bright blue ocean!

Thank you so much, Erika and Ty, for choosing Simple Maui Wedding to be your Maui wedding coordinators, we were so happy to have been a part of your day!! Keep scrolling for more of this lovely morning Maui beach wedding.
