With the fall and winter upon us, quiet life travel, which rose in popularity by 530% in the last year, is sure to remain a top trend for travelers looking to escape everyday life. From building better habits to taking time to reset from burnout, travelers want more out of their vacations and are looking at those off-the-beaten-path destinations away from crowds to immerse in nature’s healing powers and low-key destinations that exude peace and serenity.
Building upon this rising trend, located in the famed town of Hana, Maui, known as the last frontier of “old” Hawaii, Hana-Maui Resort has created unique on-site experiences to immerse its guests in the unexplored eastern side of the island and allow them to tap into a whole new perspective on life. These curated experiences include:
To Find Tranquility: With the famous “Road to Hana” consisting of nearly 2.5 hours of harrowing twists and turns, many travelers looking to escape crowds often avoid the landmark and, in the end, skip the secluded, historic town of Hana. However, Hana-Maui Resort has created a tranquil solution with not only their own private plane but a new partnership with Southern Airlines, allowing guests to jet off to paradise in under 14 minutes, inclusive of beautiful views of rainforests, waterfalls and more.
To Self-Discover: With limited Wi-Fi and in-room TVs making for little-to-no technological distractions, Hana-Maui Resort is the ideal destination to disconnect and reconnect with oneself. To help guests immerse in the ʻāina (land) and moʻolelo (history and legends) of the eastern island, the resort has created “72 Hours in Hana” itineraries that are customizable to each traveler and their unique needs. These list out points of interest and activities to fulfill any wish, from self-discovery to family time and more.
To Immerse in Nature: As the unspoiled Hawaiian frontier, Hana offers raw beauty, wild rainforests and coastal charm for travelers looking for fresh air and clear minds. With Hana’s only car rental service on-site, guests can take a Jeep Wrangler out during their stay to enjoy less-visited excursions. From the ‘Ohe’o Gulch and the ONO Organic Farms to Hana Lava Tube and Fagan’s Cross, there’s no shortage of places to “wow.”
