Lonely Planet review for Kahakuloa Village

Remote and quintessentially Hawaiian, Kahakuloa Village sits at the base of a tidy valley embraced by sea cliffs standing like sentinels on either side of the bay. Although it contains only a few dozen homes, Kahakuloa (Tall Lord) has two churches.

The little tin-roof Catholic mission sits hillside at the southern end of town, just off the road, and the Protestant church, sporting a green wooden exterior and red-tile roof, hunkers down on the valley floor further north. The town doesn't have any shops, but villagers set up roadside stands selling shave ice, fruit and 'ono (delicious) banana bread.

    Came upon this accidently...perhaps the most beautiful place

    tropicalrider recommends this,

    I often travel to Maui on vacation and do the normal things one does when there. I love Hawaii and love the activities, but on one day I decided to take the drive around the northwestern part of Maui by myself. This little village seemed to come out of the hills magically, a Hawaiian Brigadoon, if you will. I absolutely fell in love with this little place and would love to tell everyone to go there except that I really just want to keep it to myself. Truly a gem among gems.
