LAHAINA WILDFIRES
Lahaina’s historic downtown and surrounding neighborhoods were profoundly impacted by the devastating wildfire of August 2023. While the heart of Lahaina suffered tremendous loss, neighborhoods just north and south were largely spared.
Recovery is underway, with beloved restaurants like Mala Ocean Tavern, Star Noodle, Honu Oceanside, and the Old Lahaina Luau reopening their doors. The area is also supported by two large shopping centers that were minimally affected, helping provide a sense of normalcy for residents and visitors alike.
Even as progress continues, the spirit of Lahaina remains strong. Maui’s communities are rallying together to heal and rebuild. When visiting resort destinations such as Wailea, Kaʻanapali, and Kapalua, we encourage you to support local businesses, as your patronage directly contributes to Maui’s recovery.
At Welcome Hawaii Properties, we are proud to stand alongside organizations making a difference. We are dedicated supporters of Treecovery Hawaii, a nonprofit committed to restoring Maui’s natural beauty by providing free trees to local residents and helping to rehabilitate the island’s cherished landscape.
LAHAINA
Maui’s main gateway is Kahului International Airport. Kahului is well-served by major US domestic carriers, which offer nonstop service to Maui from cities across the US. The US West Coast has ample flights, with multiple departures from LA, San Francisco, and Seattle, and nonstop service from several secondary airports. Nearby Kapalua Airport, which serves West Maui, is preferred for private and inter-island flights due to its proximity.

Below is the media sale price trend for single-family homes in Lahaina for the past year.
Launiupoko
Launiupoko is a fabulous neighborhood just south of Lahaina town center. This low-key community is built on the lower slopes of the West Maui Mountains and offers a blend of luxury residential and country living. The land is zoned agricultural, so the lots tend to be larger than in other locations and come with stringent building permits. You may see signs for fresh eggs or folks riding horses next to incredible estates. You may even catch a celebrity turning into a driveway in Launiupoko!

Lots
If you’re searching for land in Lahaina to build your dream home in West Maui, pricing can vary widely depending on location and community. Some parcels offer truly spectacular ocean and outer-island views, making them highly sought after when they come to market. Buyers should be aware that building envelopes and maximum square footage allowances differ, ranging from “cottage” lots, generally under 1,000 sq. ft. to parcels designated for a larger “main house.” Our team is well versed in new construction and will serve as an invaluable asset throughout the process.

Things to Do
Whale Watching
The channel between Lahaina and the island of Lana’i is a favorite place for whale-watching cruises during the winter months. Locals and visitors alike enjoy the spectacle, which never gets old! Until Lahaina Harbor is restored, you can join cruises that sail from Ka’anapali Beach and Maalaea Harbor to the south. These cruises will allow you to observe humpback whales at a safe distance as they put on a show, including fin flapping and breaching.
