Best Places to Shop in Maui

NEAR THE AIRPORT (KAHULUI):
 
Costco: In Kahului. If you are renting a car, Costco is right by the airport. This is the only Costco on the island, so it gets crowded. It is also the cheapest place to get gas but be prepared for extremely long lines.
 
Please Note: Due to the warm weather and tropical climate in Maui, bugs are a fact of life. Cockroaches have been known to hide in the crevices in the boxes from Costco. If you do use their boxes, make sure to unload them outside of the condo and thoroughly inspect all items before bringing them inside.
 
Hi-Tech Kahului Surf Shop: In Kahului, close to the airport but still on the way to Kihei. This is the “go-to” surf shop in Maui. This is the absolute best place to rent your gear if you are an experienced surfer, SUP boarder, windsurfer, etc. Even if you aren’t, it’s a cool surf shop to check out.
 
Down to Earth Organic & Natural: Close to the airport but still on the way to Kihei. They have a great selection of healthy foods, vitamins and supplements, and organic produce. They also have a fresh deli and bakery.
 
Walmart: In Kahului, not far from the airport but on the way to Kihei. Lots of souvenir shopping and anything else you might need, including a somewhat limited selection of groceries.
 
Target: In Kahului, not far from the airport but still on the way to Kihei. Not as crowded as Costco or Walmart and they have a good selection of groceries.
 
Whole Foods: In Kahului. A little further away from the airport but still on the way to Kihei. Organic groceries and other products.

KIHEI:
 
ABC Stores: There are three in Kihei. They are great little convenience stores that offer souvenirs, t-shirts, beach gear, sunblock, and anything else you might need. The South Kihei location has a small selection of groceries, fresh produce, and a deli where you can order food to go.

Kihei Caffe is great for breakfast and is open until 2 p.m. Paia Fish House and the Tiki Lounge are great lunch or early afternoon options. Three’s Bar and Grill serves all day and has a great happy hour. Haui’s Life’s a Beach is a fun little drinking spot right on the corner of S. Kihei Road. You can grab some fish tacos, sit outside on the corner patio, and soak in the Maui sunshine.

Hawaiian Moons Natural Foods: This is a great little health food store with fresh organic fruits, groceries, and a little deli. It is pricey, though.
 
Aloha Discount Liquor: A locally-owned liquor store with a little bit of everything.
 
WAILEA:
 
Shops at Wailea: A nice open-air shopping center with upscale shopping, art galleries, and dining.
