We are approximately 30 minutes from the airport.
Brief directions from the airport are as follows:

  • Take the main road out of airport (route #380)
  • turn Left at the second stop light onto route #36, the Hana Hwy, at the corner with K-Mart
  • drive East about 10 minutes to Paia town.
  • continue past Paia on Hana Hwy. for a total of 10 miles to Aloha Maui. The highway mile markers will increase to "16" and then reset at the intersection of route #365 and the Hana Hwy. which changes its designation at that point to route #360
  • continue on the Hana Hwy 0.9 miles past mile marker ?1? and take Left on Ulalena Loop, (If you arrive at Hoolawa Bridge and reach mile marker "2" at the Twin Falls juice stand you went one block too far.)
  • Drive down Ulalena Loop nearly a mile until you come to the first stop sign which has a street sign above it indicating Loomis Rd.
  • go Straight on Loomis Road 1 block to the fork, do not turn right back onto Ulalena
  • take Right at fork, you will see a “Private Road” sign
  • 2 "city blocks" to our driveway with the number 101 and proceed down to the right

Detailed directions from the airport to our property:
Take the main road leading away from the airport to town - Kahului - (there is only one road known variously as route #380, Dairy Road or Keolani Pl.) Follow it straight to the second stop light where there is a K-Mart plaza. Turn left at K-Mart onto the Hana Hwy (route # 36).
Within 10 minutes you will pass through the historic plantation town of Paia. There you will find a wide variety of restaurants, cafes, boutiques, a health food store, bank, general store and gas stations. We are approximately 20 minutes (about 12 miles) from Paia.

There you will find a wide variety of restaurants, cafes, boutiques, a health food store, bank, general store and gas stations. We are approximately 20 minutes (about 12 miles) from Paia. Stay on the Hana Highway. It passes through Haiku where you may notice the Haiku Community Center on your right. This is the half way point between Paia and Aloha Maui B & B. The mile marker signs will go up to "16" and then the mile markers start at "1" again at the intersection with route #365 (coming from Makawao town on your right). Stay on Hana Highway (which is now designated as route #360) for about a mile and a half after you pass this intersection.

You should be looking for our street sign (Ulalena Lp) which will be on your left (ocean side of the highway) set on top of a stop sign. To help you spot it, there are about a dozen mailboxes and a telephone pole on the right hand side of the road opposite the Ulalena Lp. sign. There may be one or two roads before with mailboxes on the right side of the road, so wait until you see the "Ulalena Lp." sign.
(If you miss seeing Ulalena you will immediately be at Hoolawa Bridge (there is a sign), a wide expanse in the highway with a mobile juice stand on the right hand side during daytime hours. This area is known as
Twin Falls). Just turn around and come back to Ulalena. Cautionary note: there is another Ulalena past the bridge ( since it is a loop) but do not make the mistake of taking this second Ulalena. Take the one with the telephone pole and yellow arrow across the street or you will end up at a competitors B & B !

Turn left on Ulalena. The pavement will soon turn into a gravel road. There are some bumpy spots but nothing really too bad (or so my blue Toyota with the tiny tires has told me). This is typical of rural Maui or as we optomists say, an opportunity to slow down your pace of life! Please drive slooowly however, if it is already dark. Proceed about 1/2 mile until you cross a cement bridge spanning a creek.
Continue on the main gravel road. Soon you will see another road sign for the continuation of Ulalena Loop. It is set on top of a stop sign which is facing in the opposite direction of where you are coming from.
This is the crossroads of Ulalena and Loomis Road. Take Loomis Road - DO NOT CONTINUE ON ULALENA PAST THIS POINT or you will find yourself on what some have termed a "goat trail". If this happens you have gone too far! Proceed on Loomis Road - it is quite short- you will pass a green water tank on your left.
When the road splits soon thereafter take the right fork.
(You may notice a sign which says Private Road. This is the right road.)

Proceed a short way until this runs into our driveway identified by our sign with the number 101.
You are here! E como mai.
As you proceed down the driveway the first house you come to is the Mango Cottage. The driveway that goes around to the left of the Mango Cottage leads to the Jungle Palace.
The driveway to the right of the Mango Cottage leads to the main house and Banana Room located on the ground level with a separate entrance. If in the highly unusual case we are not here, please make yourself at home.
We'll be back shortly.
