What It Costs
How much does a luxury trip to Maui cost?
What a high-end week on Maui costs in 2026, what drives the number on Hawaii's most polished island, and where the money is best spent.
The short answer
For two, a luxury week on Maui typically runs about $14,000 to $32,000 or more, all in. Maui sits at the top of the Hawaiian islands for luxury, so the resort or villa you choose and the season you travel drive most of the number.
Maui is the most polished of the Hawaiian islands, and its prices reflect it. The good news is that the range is wide, and a smart plan can land you a genuinely luxurious week well short of the top of it.
The honest range for a week
For two, a luxury Maui week generally lands between $14,000 and $32,000 or more before flights. A resort suite runs roughly $800 to $2,800 a night, and a private villa $2,000 to $7,000. Dining is $150 to $400 a head, and signature days, a private sail, a sunrise at Haleakala with a guide, a helicopter tour, run $500 to $3,000.
What actually moves the number
Season leads, with the winter holidays, spring break, and summer at the top and the shoulder months a relief. The stay is next, since Maui's marquee resorts on Wailea and Kapalua sit at the high end while smaller boutique hotels offer the same island for less. Third is how much you travel by private guide, boat, and air.
Where the money is worth spending
Spend on the stay, because on Maui the resort is a destination in itself, and on one unforgettable day, the Haleakala sunrise or a Molokini sail. Save by traveling in the shoulder season and by letting the beach days stay free. Not every day needs a plan.
On Maui the resort is not where you sleep between activities. Half the time, the resort is the activity.

Common questions
What is the cheapest time to visit Maui?
Late April to early June and September to mid October bring the lowest luxury rates and excellent weather, well below the winter-holiday, spring-break, and summer peaks.
Is Maui more expensive than the other Hawaiian islands?
Generally yes. Maui and the private island of Lanai sit at the top for luxury, while Kauai, Oahu, and the Big Island tend to offer more for the money.
How much should I budget per day on Maui?
Plan roughly $1,800 to $4,500 per day for two, covering a high-end stay, dining, and an experience. Villas with a chef and helicopter days push the upper end higher.
