Kihei
Kihei is a town located on Maui's South Shore. North Kihei is known to be one of the hottest places to stay on the island (temperature-wise) because it doesn't get the breezes that other parts of the island get. Kihei borders Wailea to the south which is probably the most upscale town on the island.
Get in
Maui's main airport, Kahului Airport, will be the primary access to the island. From Kahului, follow the signs to Kihei, and it should lead you to Highway 311. You will reach Kihei when you arrive at the junction with Highway 31.
