Locals say "Maui No Kai 'Oi," meaning "Maui is the Best." The island's incredible beauty, vibrant culture, rich history, strong economy and diverse activities make it not only a popular vacation destination-as recognized year after year by the top travel publications-but a magnet for talented musicians, artists, chefs, athletes, retirees and entrepreneurs who proudly call Maui "home."

Over the last five years, the rest of the U.S. has started to discover the true magic of the 50th State, and second home buyers from California to New York have set their sights on owning a piece of Maui's beauty. Here, ocean views are plentiful, and retirement dreams can be realized.

Maui's diverse micro-climates create the sun-drenched beaches of the West and South Sides, as well as the lush, misty rainforests on the East and North Sides. For cooler climes, an Upcountry cottage or a beach home in Hana may enchant a buyer with its pristine serenity, hiking trails, horseback riding and dramatic waterfalls. For sun worshippers with beach priorities, property in Kihei, Wailea, Makena, Kapalua, Ka'anapali or Lahaina offers easy access to surfing, snorkeling, fishing and sailing.
