Aloha from Hawaii! I spent a week with the hubs lazing in the warm summer Maui sun, and having our share of adventure as well. And of course I thought I’d share a little about our time in this relaxing place.
The Montage Kapalua was a welcome respite after the plane ride from Los Angeles and drive through the countryside to the Kapalua region of Maui. Lush fields of sugar cane covered most of the landscape to our destination. Once we made it to the Montage, we were greeted with fresh lavender lemon water, and of course a vibrant floral lei. Then we explored the grounds a bit. Bright green grass, plenty of tropical palms waving in the wind. Paradise at its finest.

I toured their wedding lawn, a mini peninsula with a 180 degree view of the water. Not sure it gets any more scenic than that!
Kapalua is known for the best snorkeling on the island. Gentle waves, colorful tropical fish, and clear water.

We spent our fair share of time relaxing by the pool lagoon too. Probably one of the most impressive I’ve seen, complete with waterfalls, little inlets to steal a kiss, and areas to float and dream.

I took a lei making class with the hotel’s cultural ambassador, Silla. She has lived in Maui her whole life, so knows all the best flowers and plants to construct a gorgeous lei.

We had some wonderfully fresh meals at one of their restaurants, Cane and Canoe. The pineapple! The mango! The papaya! We had our fair share.

Beautiful infinity pool overlooki...
