Notes from the host
Kihei Oasis
❤️Aloha to my valued guests that are due to arrive in the near future and guests looking for future dates:
As of today 8/16/23 this has been posted on the Hawaii Tourism Website:
The Hawai’i Tourism Authority has announced that while travel to other parts of the island, including Kahului, Wailuku, Kihei, Wailea and Makena, is allowed, West Maui will not be open to tourists at least through the end of August. These areas that are closed to visitors include Lahaina, Napili, Kaʻanapali and Kapalua.
I understand that the media has been flooding the news with the devastation that has happened in Lahaina and also the loss of 19 homes in Kula, but we also have the remainder of the island that is accessible. I personally have family members that have lost everything from the Lahaina fire, and one member whom was close to being evacuated in Kula. This has been a huge loss for many residents on Maui.
Residents have banded together to send unprecedented amounts of donations needed for the West side folks.
We are Hawaii. We are strong. We are Aloha. We will heal Maui.
So many local residents, such as myself, earn our living through tourism. All of our small businesses will suffer without patronage from our visitors. I'm so grateful for all of my past and future guests that have reached out to me asking about my family. Thank you so much for all of your kind words, love, and support in these times.
My property is just as beautiful as ever, and I'd be so grateful to have you still come and enjoy Maui and bring healing love to our island.
