Maui is known for its year-round warm and pleasant weather. Many people visit Maui during the winter not just because of the weather on Maui, but to escape the cold weather back home.

The spring months of April and May and the fall months of September through November are the best times to visit Maui. Room rates are more affordable; there are no heavy crowds; and the weather is heavenly.
