How much does a trip to Maui cost?

On the ground, including accommodation and everyday spending, allow about £150 a day at the budget end, around £200 a day mid-range and £500+ for high-end travel. A seven-night mid-range trip, including estimated return travel from London, is best treated as a planning range of £1980 to £2760 per person. Return travel is modelled at about £700 off-peak, £900 typically and £1215 in busy UK travel periods. These are planning estimates rather than live quotes. Available accommodation spans simple, comfortable, premium and luxury. The quiz prices the highest available tier that fits your selected minimum and total budget.

What kind of holiday is Maui?

Maui is strongest for beaches and coastal time, romance, natural landscapes, family trips, switching off, and wildlife watching. The main settings are tropical islands, coastal scenery, and mountains, and the pace is balanced.

How flexible is it? Maui can credibly be planned with a very relaxed to active daytime pace, serene to lively evenings and off-beat to hotspot crowd settings through the choice of area, hotel, activities and timing. The typical version has balanced days, quiet evenings and a popular setting. The quiz selects the closest credible version rather than treating it as one fixed product.

Strong fit if

  • You want beaches and coastal time, romance, natural landscapes, family trips, switching off, and wildlife watching.
  • You want a balanced mix of downtime and activity.
  • You are comfortable with a well-known destination.

Think twice if

  • You need the cheapest possible version of the trip.
  • You want lively nightlife every evening.
  • You strongly dislike famous or busy destinations.

Travel from the UK

Allow roughly 17.5 hours of modelled flying time from London, before airport and transfer time. This is a substantial journey, so ten nights or more will usually make better use of the travel time.
