NOTE: The Maui Sunseeker was sold in late 2016 and is now known as Kohea Kai Maui. The below hotel description may no longer apply.
The Maui Sunseeker pens itself as the #1 gay hotel in Hawaii, so if you’re seeking an alternative lifestyle getaway, look no further than this LGBT resort. While most guests do identify as LGBT, heterosexuals are welcome as well (they estimate that up to 15% of their guests are not gay or lesbian).
No matter your sexual orientation, all Maui Sunseeker guests enjoy unique amenities like a clothing-optional saltwater pool, a rooftop terrace for sunbathing, and a beach right across the street.
Accommodation options include rooms, suites, and penthouse suites. If you’re traveling with a group or are celebrating a special occasion, you might want to book the luxurious poolside penthouse, well-appointed with 3 bedrooms, a spacious kitchen, and two private lanais with mountain views.
