The people of Maui say, "Maui no ka oi-Maui is the best." And it's a
pretty quick study to find out what they mean. For one thing, there is
the great mountain Haleakala. A dormant volcano, Haleakala looms
over the island of Maui like a watchful mother. At her summit, the chill
air of dawn draws hundreds of visitors who wish to watch the sun rise
from what seems like its source-in fact, "Haleakala" means "House
of the Rising Sun."^
^
From this chill and primal force high in the clouds, down the
windswept slopes to the sunny shorelines, Maui offers a contrast of
climates, and a diversity of pleasures. The visitor centers of
Kaanapali, Lahaina and Kihei complement the more exclusive resort
areas of Kapalua, Wailea and Makena. Combined, these areas offer
some of the finest hotels, restaurants, golf courses, beaches, and
scenery in the state.^

But to the resident of Maui, the island is as much a spiritual force as it
is a recreational haven. Maui represents an opportunity to live a life
generally free of the congestion and tension of a larger city, but is still
only a short plane hop from Honolulu.^
