From the boardroom to the beach: Your business travel guide to South Maui

Productivity comes easy in South Maui, where a tranquil atmosphere and inspiring views help you make the most of every workday. Drop in at The Cohana coworking space at the Maui Research & Technology Center in Kīhei for access to conference rooms, fast internet, and office supplies — perfect for video calls, in-person meetings, and focused project time. Many local cafés, like the spacious Da Green Coffee Bar and Island Vintage Coffee Wailea, also offer strong Wi-Fi and comfortable seating for a change of scenery. Popular spots tend to get busy, so aim for early mornings right at opening or the mid-afternoon lull.

For those seeking a seamless blend of work and relaxation, Hilton Grand Vacations Club Maui Bay Villas provides suite-style accommodations with spacious living areas, full in-suite kitchens, and private lanais overlooking the ocean. After a productive day, step outside for a sunset stroll or a refreshing dip in one of the resort pools.

Insider tip: Since Hawaii-Aleutian Standard Time (HST) is typically 2-3 hours behind the West Coast and 5-6 hours behind the East Coast, plan your calls and deep work for early mornings to open your afternoon and evening for leisure activities.

Evenings in Maui are made for live music, art, and community. The Maui Arts & Cultural Center (MACC) in Kahului hosts concerts, artistic performances, and gallery exhibitions throughout the year. The venue is located on the North Shore, about a 20- to 30-minute drive from Kīhei or Wailea. Other cultural events include live music most nights at South Maui Gardens and weekly Polynesian dance performances, traditional island wood carving demonstrations, and ukulele lessons at The Shops at Wailea open-air mall.

For longer trips, group travel, executive stays, or company events, Ho’olei at Grand Wailea provides luxury villa accommodations for residence-style living. Access 22 meeting rooms and 100,000 square feet (9,290 square meters) of indoor and outdoor meeting space, plus a full catering and conference staff on hand.

Insider tip: After work, take the team to Monkeypod Kitchen in the Wailea Gateway Center for craft cocktails and pupus (small bites). For client dinners, Humuhumunukunukuāpuaʻa at Grand Wailea offers an impressive dining experience.
