Maui is a mecca for all things tropical and lovely, hence the reason millions of visitors from around the world flock to our shores each year. From tree houses perched in the jungle of Maui’s rainforest to celebrity-studded oceanfront resorts, Maui offers every type of accommodation for every type of traveler.
One that continues to fly under the radar is Maui Sunseeker LGBT Resort, who welcomes all travelers, no matter your background or orientation. Featured on season 1 of the hit show Hotel Impossible, the Sunseeker has undergone massive renovations and offers some of the most beautiful accommodations, not to mention friendly service, on Maui.
Location
If you’ve chosen Maui as your travel destination, chances are you enjoy the sun, sand and saltwater. Enter Kihei’s Mai Poina ‘Oe la’u Beach, only 30 steps from Maui Sunseeker. While strong winds can make this beach less swimmer-friendly than others a little further south, this is the perfect place to enjoy a relaxing morning walk, afternoon picnic or sunset lounge, often mostly to yourself. Swaying palm trees, scenic views and one of the best areas in Maui for wind and kitesurfing? Well alright, if we must. Ahh…
Take a short walk or drive to South Maui’s best restaurants, bars, shops, activities and attractions, and enjoy a great take-off point for reaching other popular areas of the island, including Maalaea Harbor (10 minutes), Iao Valley (15-20 minutes) and West Maui (20-30 minutes).
Rooms & Suites
Several types of room options are available for guests – Standard, Studio, Junior Suite, Full Suite, Ocean View Penthouse, and Ocean Front Penthouse – all beautifully furnished and stocked with amenities like a refrigerator, coffee pot, microwave, HD/3D Smart Flat Panel TV, hair dryer, iron, ironing board, ceiling fan, air conditioning, California King bed and housekeeping services 7 days a week.
Complimentary wifi, parking, and daily use of beach towels, chairs and coolers is also available, saving you time, money and luggage space!
Garden
Need a break from the sand? Check out the charming property garden, furnished with tables, chairs, string lights and gas barbecue grills, perfect for hosting an afternoon barbecue or even a cozy, romantic wedding reception.
Pools & Hot Tubs
While we always encourage you to take advantage of the largest saltwater pool on earth that sits just across the street, the Sunseeker also provides a solar-heated saline pool and two onsite hot tubs.
Rooftop Deck
One important part of the Hotel Impossible transformation included a redesign of the Sunseeker’s rooftop deck, which offers amazingly perfect views of the West Maui Mountains and setting sun over the water. During winter months, this is one of the best places to whale watch from shore!
Property Perks
Extra property perks include onsite laundry facilities, on-request massage therapy services, rooftop business center and an onsite concierge who can assist you in booking tours, recommending local gems and pointing you in the right direction. Never underestimate the power of an onsite concierge, my friends.
With only 24 rooms in total, the Maui Sunseeker staff has a reputation for friendly and personalized service that goes above and beyond the typical large resort setting.
Planning your upcoming nuptials on Maui? They offer several wedding packages, perfect for planning your ceremony and reception from afar.
