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!

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!

Sometimes Love is jubilant, a dancing laugh made of sunlight and whispered wishes. Other times, Love is quiet, a solid rock to hold onto as you drift in the sea, a warm hand to grasp when yours are cold.

Whitney & Oscar’s Maui wedding was nothing how they’d envisioned getting married in paradise would be like… With the coronavirus encroaching into the country, half of their guests needed to stay home, including Whitney’s Matron of Honor and Oscar’s family and parents. Then their rehearsal dinner was canceled… and then came the rain. But our bride and groom were gracious throughout it all, smiling and taking in every moment of their Special Day.

With their kindness and sweet moments of thankfulness, Whitney & Oscar showed us all that even in times like these, Love wins.

Emily, our onsite coordinator reflected on the day, saying: “The sun never came out to shine on their wedding, but there was something even brighter shining on them – their love for each other, the love from their family, and the blessings they received for their marriage.”

During this cloud, there’s been a silver lining: all over the world, people are showing kindness, people are coming together to protect their neighbors and their communities. And although Karma Hill Photography had offered a couple’s portrait session once the weather cleared up, our bride and groom cared more about the health and safety of the crew than capturing their dream photo… all they wanted was for the photographer to stay home, to stay safe, and to stay healthy.

Whitney & Oscar may not have had the sun-filled Maui wedding they’d always dreamed of… but looking over these images, it’s clear that their wedding was the unforeseen but beautiful beginning of a dream marriage, a marriage rooted in truth and unconditional love.

As our bride puts it: “Of course it wasn’t the perfect day you dream of, but we made do with what we had, and it was wonderful. I am proud to be Mrs. Gutierrez, and these events have shown me just what a strong, incredible man I have…”

Mahalo nui loa, Whitney & Oscar, for sharing your incredibly lovely ceremony with us. We hope you return to capture your anniversary portraits underneath the Maui sun… But until then, we send you our fondest Aloha and wish you only the best in the years ahead…

At Simple Maui Wedding, we exclusively hire Karma Hill Photography for all of our gorgeous wedding captures. For Sunny & Aaron’s beautiful wedding at the 5 Palms, Cheynice, one of their talented photographers, summed up the occasion so perfectly, that we thought we’d let her tell the story of this incredible ceremony:

“When I arrived at Sunny’s condo, she was hard at work perfecting her makeup, almost overwhelmed. We were all so glad she took her time with her makeup because she looked absolutely stunning when she was all done! She even cried as she was putting on her dress because she was so emotional that her makeup was perfect and everything was finally coming together. As her dress was buttoned up, she added the pearl necklace her mother-in-law let her borrow. It was such a classy touch to her beauty.”

“It was drizzling just before Reverend Richardo’s conch blew, but when Sunny arrived, the rain stopped moments before she made her entrance.”

“Everyone loved Richardo’s ceremony. He had the couple and all of the guests laughing and smiling throughout, which was just what the couple wanted.”

“After the ceremony, we gathered for photos on the beach of the 5 Palms. Keawekapu is where they love to hang out as a family together, so it’s become a sentimental beach for them all.”

“As the final minutes of the sunset came to a close, Sunny and Aaron experienced the most vibrant colors for their sunset! Sunny was saying ‘It’s almost comical to have such a perfect sunset!’ It was true since the whole day they had overcast skies leading up to those very last moments.”

“Overall it was a very beautiful day and Sunny and Aaron were left as happy as ever.”

Mahalo nui loa, Sunny & Aaron, for trusting Simple Maui Wedding with your Wedding at the 5 Palms. We wish you all the joy (and vibrant sunsets!) in the years ahead…

What do you get when two families meet halfway around the world on the shores of the Magic Isle? A Maui destination wedding! Megan was born in Australia but moved to Canada when she was just ten-years-old… and there, she eventually met the love of her life, Tim!

These two met at a mutual friend’s party, and it didn’t take long for them to decide (together) to take their relationship to the next level. And it was this past February, in the lush rainforest of Queensland’s Lamington National Park, where they officially got engaged! They figured the best spot to say “I do” was where Megan’s parents often frequent, the Kihei Surf Side!

The day was bright and breezy, with hardly another soul on the emerald lawn, making for a quiet and intimate ceremony with just the bride and groom and their closest family.

When asked about their preferred photography style for their Maui destination wedding, our couple responded “Goofy and fun!” And we couldn’t have been more thrilled! We are ALL about capturing those big smiles and sealing that laughter in photos that will be cherished for a lifetime! We welcome fun and say, “Bring on the goofy!”

And trust us, there are plenty more smiles to come… Keep scrolling!

Following the ceremony, we swept our couple away to the white sands of Southside beach for extra fun and goofy couples portraits…

…That is, when “goofy” is an acronym for “G.orgeous O.utback (woman) on the O.ceanside F.lirting… Y.AAAAAAS!” Check out all the sweet moments!

Congratulations, Megan & Tim! Thank you for trusting us to coordinate your Maui destination wedding. We had a wonderful time, and we wish you all the happiness and fun in the future ahead…

Check out another Hawaii ceremony by Simple Maui Wedding: Winning at Life ~ Debbie & Gary’s Maui Wedding

Marian & Timothy’s Beach Wedding in Maui was a lovely example of how an overcast day can turn into one of the most beautiful sunsets. The lighting was soft and dreamy, and the ocean gently hummed. Although they were surprised at how many loved ones were able to fly out to support them, it makes perfect sense to us… everyone wants to cheer on this awesome couple!!

Marian & Timothy decided to say “I do” on Maui because they loved the idea of wrapping a getaway and a wedding into one spectacular package of Aloha! And the scenery at Maluaka Beach did not disappoint. Golden sands, steel gray waters, and a rocky embankment framed with greenery, there was no shortage of gorgeous scenic backdrops!

Reverend Kimo officiated the ceremony, opening the event with the deep, trumpeting sound of the conch shell. As Marian made her way to her waiting groom, she was nothing but luminous in a couture gown designed by a talented friend.

This tender moment says it all… a look shared between friends and partners, both deeply and truly in love…

Following the “I do,” our couple had their first dance right there on the oceanfront. We can’t get enough of how beautiful Marian is! Her gown perfectly embodies the churning white water, and Timothy’s aquamarine slacks add just the right “pop” against the backdrop.

Beauty incarnate? … Most definitely!!

As the day came to a close, the sun lit up the sky in a brilliant golden light, perfectly mirroring this couple’s luminous love…

Mahalo nui loa, Marian & Timothy, for sharing your Special Day with Simple Maui Wedding. We wish you all the very best and an abundance of beautiful days and glowing smiles in the future ahead…

One day, after his mother called to ask when he was going to get married, Daemon sat down with Ruolan and they made the difficult decision to have a Maui beach elopement… just kidding! Far from a difficult choice, these two were happy and immensely relieved to elope in a beautiful island paradise! Ruolan wanted a beach wedding, and the couple had already booked a Maui trip, so the elopement just seemed to fall into place. Simple and as beautiful as can be…

This dynamic duo met online a little over two years ago, and it’s been smooth sailing ever since! With no kids and no pets, our couple loves exploring the diverse food scene in Seattle while saving a drop of time for some West Coast swing dancing! These two are the complete package: brains and beauty! Ruolan works as a family physician for Kaiser Permanente and loves traveling, and Daemon is a data scientist for Microsoft who loves himself a good cocktail! Keep scrolling for all the beautiful and heartwarming shots!

We love the brilliant light and power-poses of this incredible capture! There’s no doubt that this beautiful couple will continue to support and uplift each other in the years ahead…

Our hearts are melting… How precious is this candid moment?!

Draped in a lace halter with endless pleats of chiffon, this bride is gorgeous and eco-friendly… who needs a designer gown when you can get one as stunning as this from a consignment shop!

And speaking of gorgeous, Daemon is on-fleek in a gray wool suit and peach-colored boutonniere. His color pallet perfectly complemented the soft, Hawaiian sunset of their Special Day.

Mahalo nui loa, Ruolan & Daemon, for trusting Simple Maui Wedding with your intimate Maui beach elopement. It was truly our pleasure. We wish you all the love in the years ahead…

The whales were putting on their best show for Kelly & David’s Maui beach wedding at Ironwoods! It seemed as if every moment was punctuated with a full-bodied breach or tail splashing against the glistening horizon. Maybe it was the tropical weather that brought them out: not too hot and not too windy, but just perfect. And the only thing on the beach that was more inspirational than the whales were the endless smiles and laughter of this amazing couple!

After meeting on Bumble, Kelley & David knew it was meant to be… so they took the big leap and not only tied-the-knot on a lovely Maui beach, but they also blended their beautiful families into one. Keep scrolling for all the heartwarming moments!

As Kelley made her entrance onto the shore, her daughter-in-law escorted her down the steps where David met her on the sand. And there, he had his first look at his gorgeous bride, and his happiness was impossible to miss.

The bride and groom walked to the ceremony hand-in-hand, radiating with a glowing love.

Speaking of glowing love, we can’t get enough of these sunshine-filled smiles! Luckily, there are pleeeenty more where these came from! Keep scrolling!

Standing front and center is the couple’s grandson, who was also their ringbearer. He may have been a bit too nervous to deliver the rings, but he was all about posing in his trendy bowtie and suspenders! And with a face as cute as his, it’s easy to see why!

With a twisted updo and strapless gown, Kelley was just as stunning as her Maui beach wedding sunset!

Mahalo nui loa, Kelley & David, for trusting Simple Maui Wedding with your beautiful beachside ceremony. We wish you all the smiles in the years ahead!

The surf was stormy but the sun was brilliant and golden during Patricia & Aaron’s Maui wedding on Ironwoods beach. These two lovebirds said “I do” on a very special day–leap year! Our couple has been inseparable since meeting in college, and last month, while in wintery Seattle, Aaron proposed.

Before deciding on the location for their destination wedding, Patricia & Aaron listened to their Faith and considered their parents’ well-being. Warm sun, tropical views, and no passport required… Maui was the perfect spot for their Special Day! So with their loved ones in tow, our couple flew out for their very first trip to Hawaii! What an awesome way to celebrate such a wonderful day!

Reverend Richardo officiated the wedding. And, like always, he brought his natural charm and deep wisdom.

How heavenly are these shots?! Patricia is wearing a custom gown from Etsy, and we love the way it flows in the wind. Draped in lavender, cream, and gray, this couple pulls off beach wedding day style and then some!

Of course, a Maui wedding on Ironwoods Beach wouldn’t be complete without an epic portrait session on the cliffside. How gorgeous is that subtle rainbow effect from the misting waves?

Just as we were calling it a day, the clouds let down the lovely light sprinkling of a Hawaiian wedding day blessing. We love how Patricia’s gown pops against the cotton-candy orange and pink skies.

Thank you, Patricia & Aaron, for trusting us with your Maui wedding on Ironwoods beach. We had a wonderful time and wish you all the very best in the years (and leap years) ahead!

Bright skies, a salty ocean breeze, and crystal-clear waters, what else could anyone wish for on their beach wedding on Maui? It was a beautiful day for a beautiful couple! Michelle & Chris were one of the most adorable and sincere couples that we’ve had the pleasure of meeting.

They started dating six and a half years ago, and when Michelle mentioned she wanted to tie the knot on leap year, Chris was more than happy to help make it happen! Chris said he wanted to say “I do” somewhere tropical with waterfalls… so Michelle suggested Maui. And it was the perfect fit, of course! Keep swiping for all the sweet shots!

One look at her radiant face, and it’s abundantly clear that this beautiful bride is marrying the person of her dreams! And we’re looooving the plunging neckline and princess waist of Michelle’s jewel-encrusted gown. She’s styled to the nines!

And in a sleek black tux with a fuschia orchid boutonniere, Chris is rocking it too!

If these two aren’t adorable enough, they arrived at the beach with little envelopes and handwritten cards for everyone who was a part of their Special Day. It doesn’t get more sentimental than that! Talk about Midwest hospitality!

Mahalo nui loa, Michelle & Chris, for trusting us to coordinate your Beach Wedding on Maui. We wish you all the very best in the years ahead!
