This club is in the Hyatt Regency at the Ka’anapali Beach Resort. It has a huge dance floor and two large bars, and it comes alive on Saturday nights.

Tropical cocktails, sushi, live entertainment, and Maui’s spectacular sunsets all rolled into this popular spot at the Maui Marriott Resort & Ocean Club.

This pleasant, casual poolside spot offers all-day dining, including a breakfast buffet, and is transformed at sunset with the addition of live entertainment. Naturally, the views are captivating too.

You can’t get closer to the beach than this, a bar where you can wiggle your toes in the sand. One of the island’s best for cocktails, appetizers, sunset, and checking out the beautiful people on “Dig Me” Beach.

Renowned for fantastic ice cream drinks – there’s a full bar, too, of course – and great pūpū (appetizers), Leilani’s is also just a few steps across the sand from “Dig Me” Beach.

Through the lush gardens and across the wooden bridge to the Lagoon Bar for a light lunch or, in the evening, a truly amazing event: the nightly Torch Lighting and Cliff Diving.

Maui’s only brewpub is a favorite hangout of west side residents who enjoy the nightly live music. The wine list has received the Award of Excellence for three years running. The beer is brewed in three large copper vats which can be seen by the patrons.

Right on the ocean at Napili Kai Beach Resort, this is one of the best places for watching the sunset.

Alongside the restaurant (see Vino), the wine selection for an evening drink is spectacular, with plenty in every price range.

This casual lounge exudes class, along with particularly good drinks and great live entertainment nightly.
