Overview
Maui is often called the best Hawaiian island -- a place where dramatic volcanic landscapes, golden beaches, and lush rainforests converge. From the winding Road to Hana to the sunrise at Haleakala crater, Maui offers natural beauty that is hard to match anywhere in the world.
For points travelers, Maui offers excellent value through Hyatt. The Andaz Maui at Wailea Resort is one of the most popular Hyatt redemptions in the world, offering beachfront luxury at a fraction of the cash rate when booked with points.
Whether you are looking to surf, snorkel at Molokini Crater, or watch whales, Maui delivers an island experience that perfectly combines adventure and relaxation.
Cash vs Points
Hotels in Maui range from $613 to $990 per night. Points redemptions offer 2.2+ cents per point value.
