Hana Airport serves Maui, Hawaii, which is a paradise for golfers and non-golfers, alike. But if you and members of your family play the game, you're in for a treat. The two courses in Ka'anapali, Maui--Ka'anapali Kai and Royal Ka'anapali--are among the most beautiful tracks in the world. These courses are about 25 miles from Hana and 10 miles from Kihei. And it's only befitting such a trip that you wallow in the luxury of great hotels in your trip.
Hotel Hana-Maui
The Hotel Hana-Maui is located in a beautiful setting, just a few miles from the airport. After a terrific round of golf at one of Maui's well-manicured golf courses, you will be pampered at this hotel's Honua Spa, where you can work out the kinks, or you can enjoy a dip in the pool. Unlike most hotels in Hawaii, your accommodations here will be free of both television and radio to allow you to enjoy the serenity of this place. But if you must, you'll find both Internet access and television in the Club Room. Accommodations at the Hotel Hana-Maui start at $495 per night as of 2009.
