By the middle of the nineteenth century, Lahaina was a great whaling port. Hundreds of ships rode at anchor in its roadstead each season, and the town was a Pacific crossroads of sailors, traders, and goods from around the world. Sugar plantations later reshaped the surrounding lands, and Lahaina carried its layered history — Hawaiian royal seat, mission town, and seaport — into the modern era.
Lahaina holds one of the deepest histories in all of Hawaiʻi — a Native Hawaiian shore, a royal capital, and a Pacific seaport, set under the West Maui Mountains on the brightest coast of Maui. Our Lahaina designs honor that heritage — the islands' hibiscus, the old kingdom, and the sun-bright West Maui shore — in vintage form. Lahaina, Hawaiʻi — historic heart of West Maui.
