From the flight across the ocean to the beachfront vacation rental and the island activities in between, the price of paradise may seem a bit costly. If a Hawaii vacation and saving money happen to make it on your list of New Year’s resolutions, we have put together some tips to help you make both a reality!

Book Smart

When it comes to booking the best place to stay in West Maui, the internal debate over what really is the difference between a resort vs hotel is sure to come up. Both are best suited for specific needs but if you are looking to make your Hawaii vacation unforgettable without breaking the bank, the search really stops with a Maui condo resort. In addition to the convenient location, most resorts come with services and amenities that offer more bang for your buck!

The More The Merrier

And while we are on the topic of booking, we say the more the merrier! Solo and small group travel definitely has its benefits but when it comes to saving money, it helps to be able to split costs amongst a larger group.

Worried about losing a chance for a more intimate Hawaii experience? Our oceanfront 3 bedroom condos for rent provide more than enough space to accommodate a party of 6-8 guests comfortable and are outfitted with layouts that maximize privacy!

Take Advantage Of Amenities

Among the numerous reasons to stay at a Hawaii resort over a hotel, it really wouldn’t be a relaxing (and more budget-friendly) get away without Maui lodging that comes with a lengthy list of resort amenities. The most important amenity to look out for when looking for vacation rentals would be a fully-equipped kitchen. While Hawaii has some of the most ono (delicious) food & drink, dining out for each and every meal can rack up an expensive vacation bill very quickly. Having a complete kitchen at your disposal can help minimize those costs and could help create a special memory as you all create an island-inspired meal together. And if you still want to eat out in West Maui, there are options to dining on a budget!

Here at Kahana Village, we are truly committed to providing a full Hawaiian experience. Unlike other oceanfront condo resorts, we offer free activities like our Mai Tai Party and Lei Making Class to enhance your stay here!
