With a rich Hawaiian cowboy (commonly referred to as 'Paniolo') history, Makawao has retained it heritage and character, while being a favored location for Maui's residents. Enjoy bi-coastal views, cooler weather, and the sense of a small community, all within easy access to the rest of Maui's amenities. Comparable to Kula in many ways, Makawao has a very strong sense of community and is host to some of the most reputable private schools in Hawaii.
