How Much Does a Maui Vacation Cost?

Estimates from Mahalo Travels' live pricing data, the same numbers our instant quote calculator uses. Pricing last refreshed June 2026. Reviewed by Courtney Geisel, Travel Advisor.
Quick answer

A 7-night Maui vacation for two typically costs $4,800 to $7,100 depending on when you go, covering round-trip flights, lodging with taxes, and food. September is usually the cheapest month (about $4,800) and December the priciest (about $7,100). A family of four should budget roughly $8,040 for the same week.

The breakdown: 7 nights, standard mid-range trip

Flight prices assume a central-U.S. departure; coastal origins run higher or lower. Lodging uses a moderate hotel rate with Hawaii lodging taxes included.

How to bring the cost down

  • Travel in September or October. The same trip runs about $2,300 less than in December.
  • Watch the room category, not just the hotel. In Maui, the gap between a garden-view and oceanfront room at the same property is often $150+ per night. A condo with a kitchen also cuts the dining line meaningfully for longer stays.
  • Book flights and rooms 4 to 8 months out. Last-minute rarely wins here; airfare from smaller U.S. cities is the piece that spikes late.
  • Get a real quote instead of an average. These are honest baselines, but your dates, origin airport, and resort pick move the number. The instant calculator takes 30 seconds, and Courtney's exact quote is free.
