ISLAND GUIDE
To maximize your planning and enjoyment of the island, we’ve compiled some of our favourite spots along with some helpful tips from Trudy and ‘Mai Tai’ Ronnie.
GROCERIES
Many of you will have cooking facilities at your rentals, which is great as Maui can be expensive. The following is list of places where we buy the vast majority of our groceries and liquor, with our preferences for items.
COSTCO
KAHULUI (near the airport)
If you have a membership, this is the best place to load up on bulk items if you are staying for a while. Costco is good for dry goods, and liquor is a bit cheaper. Fruit and vegetables are not the best available. Their meat is okay, but comes in large quantities.
WHOLE FOODS
KAHULUI (near the airport)
Good for vegetables, fruit, meat, fish (get a fish called Mong Chong if they have it), deli items, dairy etc. All is good quality.
SAFEWAY
KIHEI
Large and has all the basics needed, including sunscreen and booze. Their meat and fish are good, the vegetables are not the best available.
FOODLAND
KIHEI
A hot local tip: they have an amazing Poke counter! Also a full service grocery store with good vegetables and fruit. The meat is not as good as Safeway or Whole Foods. They have some good bakery items, deli meats, dairy, eggs, yogurt etc. Make sure you have a North American phone number to register when you check out as you then get local pricing.
HAWAIIAN MOONS
KIHEI
On South Kihei road across from Kamaole 1 beach, this small organic store has great vegetables, fruit, muffins, vegetarian specialties and a really good takeout bar for healthy smoothies, sandwiches, salads, lunch and breakfast items. Corissa’s favourite!
ISLAND GOURMET MARKETS
WAILEA
Located in the Shops at Wailea, this spot is really good for poke bowls, takeout items of all kinds from soups to sushi and full breakfast, lunch and dinners. They also have a good fish counter that has the best sashimi-grade tuna and fresh salmon. The groceries here are limited.
LIQUOR STORES
EVERYWHERE
Liquor is very competitive pricing here. Costco has a big selection, all at good pricing. Safeway has a 10% discount if you but 6 or more items. Foodland has a special if you buy 3 of the same kind of wine. Beer is about the same everywhere, as is hard liquor. For a good variety or special wines try Wailea Wines in the shops at the top of Wailea Ike Place or Tamari’s on Lipoa Road.
How it all began
“I saw her across the bar and I couldn’t look away until I had the guts to talk to her.”
— Antoine
“We caught eye contact at one point and I was mesmerized by that addicting smile of his.”
— Soria
Soria & Antoine
—
Soria and Antoine met while both out with their groups of friends at a bar in Phoenix. After catching each other’s eye across the room and spending the rest of the night finding out how much they have in common, they started dating. Two years later, we're best friends, true loves, and badass partners in life. We're finally ready to make it official!
And the rest is history
