via Stay22About this place Maui Sunseeker Resort
Kohea Kai Resort Maui is a small, adults-friendly boutique hotel set right on the beach at 551 South Kihei Road on Maui's south shore.
The property occupies the site of the former Maui Sunseeker. For years, that was Hawaii's largest gay-owned and -operated resort, until it was sold and rebranded in 2016. New ownership retired the gay-specific branding and the clothing-optional areas.
The hotel is still an intimate, independently run oceanfront place. It has a rooftop deck, hot tubs, tropical gardens, and a complimentary breakfast. It also continues to welcome LGBTQ+ guests.
With just over a dozen suites and studios steps from Kalama and Cove parks, it’s for couples and travelers who want a quiet, walkable base near Kihei's restaurants and beaches. Don't come looking for a large, full-service resort experience.

Really nice rooms with all the amenities needed. Loved it!!
The location is really great, Kihei has the best food options and it’s a good middle spot for the island. Our hotel room was good. Reception is really really kind, they gave us new towels every morning and were always friendly and helped with any questions.
This spot was exactly what we were hoping for! We came to Kihei for a wedding and had an awesome experience with our accommodations at the Kohea Kai!!
Great spot in Kihei
Great friendly staff, rooms are ok , price is affordable, location is close to stores, food, and beach. But it’s not a fancy hotel so adjust your expectations. We liked our 4 rooms
