While I’ll always be a 96793 city girl, I’ve always been enamored with upcountry Maui and fantasized about living in a forest and riding horses. Makawao Town is a quaint, historic area of Maui with a variety of boutiques and galleries. Growing up on an island where any drive over 20 minutes was a “road trip,” my mom would take me to Makawao as a treat. Now I find myself visiting Makawao on an nearly weekly basis because it’s important to treat yo’self ;) 

Here are just a few of my favorite spots: the charming architecture of the old town, Liquor Shack with the MOST AMAZING decadent FULL FLAVA Teri burger 🍔 and Komoda Bakery 🍩 which has been family owned and operated for over a century!

Visit Makawao’s one stop shop Rodeo General - packed with fresh local produce and freshly prepared grab-on-the-go meals. I was also delighted to see loads of local gift items, including my art. It’s also the home of famous bodega cat Puff…who welcomes head but not belly pets…

Be sure to visit Hot Island Glass where you can actually enjoy viewing the process of glassblowing…and lastly, one of my favorite places on earth: Makawao Forest Reserve 🌳 🌲. I hike here with my father at least 3 times a month and I never get tired of the forest which showcases the best of Maui’s microclimates. Other highlights are the cycling trails & courses and the creepy Blair Witch Project inspired teepees that seem to pop up out of nowhere.
