Sugar Beach is a Beachfront Resort on Maui’s Longest Continuous Beach in North Kihei
Sugar Beach Resort is a beachfront condo resort in North Kihei — 218 units across two oceanfront buildings on more than four beachfront acres at 145 North Kihei Road, built in 1977 directly on Sugar Beach, the longest continuous stretch of sandy shoreline on Maui.
The resort sits adjacent to the Kealia Pond National Wildlife Refuge, the largest remaining lowland wetland on Maui and a federally protected habitat for the endangered aeʻo (Hawaiian stilt) and ʻalae keʻokeʻo (Hawaiian coot).
On-site amenities include an oceanfront heated pool, a hot tub, a wading pool, a sauna, a putting green, oceanfront BBQ areas, an on-site restaurant, and elevators in both buildings.
While Sugar Beach Resort is situated right on the water, beach sizes in Maui are prone to seasonal shifts and tide changes.
Sugar Beach stays through MPP carry no resort fee — confirmed at booking. Parking is open on-site and free — pick up your parking pass at the front desk on arrival.
On the property side, the oceanfront heated pool, hot tub, wading pool, sauna, putting green, oceanfront BBQ areas, and the on-site restaurant are the headline shared amenities.
For broader planning, our Kihei vacation rentals page and the wider South Maui collection walk through the area’s beach corridor; our ocean-view rentals page highlights oceanfront options across the island, and the MPP Vacations rentals page covers every region.
Sugar Beach stretches roughly five miles of uninterrupted sand from North Kihei toward Maʻalaea — morning and sunset walks along this shoreline are a defining feature of staying here.
The Kealia Pond National Wildlife Refuge borders the property; the Kealia Coastal Boardwalk is open sunrise to sunset year-round for birdwatching and photography.
Maʻalaea Harbor (the launch point for most Molokini snorkel trips) is about five to ten minutes north. Kihei’s restaurants, coffee shops, and markets line South Kihei Road within five to ten minutes south; Wailea and the Shops at Wailea are about fifteen to twenty minutes south.
During humpback whale season (November through April) the Sugar Beach shoreline offers reliable whale-watching vantage points.
Every reservation booked direct with MPP Vacations at Sugar Beach includes free daily Xplorie activities and the MPP Starter Kit — toiletries, paper goods, beach chairs, towels, and a cooler ready for you on arrival.
