Description

Specialties

The postcard perfection of Maui’s North Shore (white sand beaches, raging waterfalls, stylish cafes, and world-​class surfers) just got even better with the opening of the Paia Inn. This beach town boutique hotel seamlessly blends modern amenities with the historic character of its building. The interior mixes contemporary island furnishings with the chic lushness of the W Hotel.

The lobby features air conditioning, black concrete floors, leather & palm wood couches, shell chandeliers, a state of the art 60-​inch flat screen TV and stereo system. The rooms at the Paia Inn feature wireless internet, flat screen TVs with cable, A/​C, ipod clock radios, private travertine tiled bathrooms, salon quality amenities, housekeeping services and fully-​stocked mini bars. Guests can enjoy the complimentary morning coffee, tea, biscotti, and fresh fruit in our lobby reception.

History

Established in 1962.

The Paia Inn has been completely renovated, but did not change the layout of the existing building. It was originally built in the early 1920’s and was believed to be used as a small Japanese hotel in the 30’s when Paia was a bustling town with over 10,000 residents. During this time, there was a theater, hospital, schools, and a few small hotels. Around 1962 it became a hostel and most recently in July of 2008, it has been renovated into the new Paia Inn.

Business Owner

The owner is a talented designer, and has lived on Maui for over 30 years. He started his design company over 20 years ago and has designed many luxury homes, spas and other small town projects in Hawaii, Asia, and the Caribbean. «The challenge is to improve the original design of the building while maintaining its character, charm and history in the community. I moved to Paia when I was 14 years old, so I really appreciate keeping Paia as the most unique and interesting town on Maui. I love it here, the diversity of people, and the feel of walking the town with its great shops, boutiques, cafes and its colorful people. I am excited to have helped design and renovate a landmark building in the town that will offer locals and visitors a place to stay so they can truly enjoy what Paia has to offer.»

The Paia Inn is where it’s AT– SO CUTE, right in the middle of downtown Paia which is the cutest little surfer town ever and a must-​see. The Inn itself was such a gem — we checked in a little early and while our room wasn’t quite ready we were able to drop our luggage with the sweet ladies at reception and park our car so we could get exploring. The ladies upgraded from a room with a Queen sized bed to one with a King sized bed and a town view with a little more space than we originally bargained for which was so appreciated. The ladies that run the Inn are amazing and had the best recommendations in town (Café de Amis for Lilikoi Margaritas, A MUST) — genuine service really goes a long way.
The Inn itself is an architectural boutique paradise– it is so well laid out and smart– a complex with not only an Inn but private beach houses, well crafted walkways, and a perfect color palette. The beach that is on the property is gorgeous– soothing waves, white sand, and generally empty as it is only accessible thru private entry (including one at the Inn). The Inn has beach towels, chairs, boogie boards– all you could need to make your beach experience ideal. We cancelled our dinner reservation while we there just to watch the sunset and see the sea turtles come onto the beach after bobbing around for hours near the rocks– so sweet and special.
We also had breakfast at the Paia Inn Café which was super cute and yummy– definitely recommend. We started the trip to Hana from Paia Inn and it was so nice to already be a leg up on lots of travelers.
Our biggest regret is that we didn’t book more time at the Paia Inn– one night did not cut it!

Absolutely awesome stay. Friendly staff (especially Carly at front desk), great location, super nice amenities and vibe. Couldn’t be happier with our stay. Went out of the way to make it enjoyable and easy. Will be back for sure

I wish we could have stayed here longer. The accommodations were beautiful. The staff was amazing. They have private beach access with everything you would want (towels, chairs, boards, etc). The location is great to wander through town or on the beach. My only complaint is that the bed was pretty uncomfortable (super hard, yet droopy) and the pillows were super flat, which didn’t make for a great night’s sleep. Other than that, it was a perfect place to stay. Would totally recommend.

We stayed here at the Paia Inn after a week in Wailea. It was a great place to wind down and relax. We were on the go for a week before we stopped here, and this place was charming as was the town. It is a few steps to a great beach. You can walk to everything in town as its right in the middle of town. And if you want to drive the Road to Hana you are right at the start of it here. Check in and all our needs during our stay were always well handled, especially by Carly who helped us the most. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. Our room was large and clean, and everything worked as advertised. We’ll be back.

This place was amazing. Everyone that put anything less than 5 stars is crazy. Perfect romantic stay for a couple. The first night we stayed here we stayed in the standard room which was great. Cute little room with a King size bed and comfy sheets. Very nice bathroom as well.
The best part about the Paia Inn though is the beach. It’s connected to a little private garden section overlooking Baldwin Beach. My girlfriend and I sat at a bar height table drinking wine and watching the sunset with a beautiful banyan tree just above us. To give you an idea of how beautiful it is I was planning on proposing to my girlfriend at the top of Haleakala later on in our trip but we ended up here beforehand. I decided to propose to her on the beach underneath the moonlight instead.
Then later on in the week we had such a terrible time at the Sheraton in Maui off Kaanapali Beach, for reasons I won’t discuss here, we decided to cancel the final 3 nights at Sheraton (literally the highest level of service they provided was letting us bail on the last 3 nights without charging us) and so we came back to the Paia Inn!
This time we stayed in the King Suite partial ocean view and it was unbelievable. Huge porch with a lounge that you could literally sleep on. All you can see from the porch is palm trees and plants everywhere as well as a cute little sliver of ocean. The porch was so secluded you could walk around naked out there and no one would know. There’s also a living room, kitchen, extra sitting room and bedroom that you could listen to the waves crashing from. Unbelievable place for a romantic getaway.
Almost forgot, the service was impeccable. When we came back after the awful Sheraton stay they had a handwritten letter for us with a bottle of wine. Also, everyone is so nice they personally walk you to your room and out to the beach to show you around. Me and my, now fiancé, can’t wait to come back.

The service was fantastic and the rooms were clean and nice looking. We loved the private entrance to the beach. We’ll be back to Paia Inn the next time we’re in Maui ~ can’t wait!

I have never had as great an experience at a hotel as at the Paia Inn.
My friend and I planned to stay in Paia for three days and then explore the rest of Maui. We took the one bedroom suite with ocean views and a full kitchen. It was enormous — beautiful patio, amazingly comfortable, and walking distance to a gorgeous beach (though, to be fair — its a TINY view of the ocean that you can actually see from the room). Carly was the best concierge ever. She helped us with getting to Hana, with booking other trips, with recommending other hotels, and always greeted us with a friendly face. Nina and Candace were equally lovely. It was a joy to stay in Paia — so much so we returned after a week to end our vacation at the Inn. I would recommend this one thousand times to anyone going to Maui. It’s classy, fun, boutique-​y, but not touristy. We ended up meeting the owner briefly (Michael), who was very friendly and accommodating. What an amazing stay!

Most charming inn I’ve ever stayed at! The location is perfect in the hip little town of Paia. Rooms are super cute and the bed is extremely comfortable. This is the perfect little boutique hotel and I would recommend it to anyone!!!

We loved Paia Inn! We ended our two week honeymoon at this hip boutique hotel and it was by far our favorite place that we stayed in Hawaii. The staff is super friendly, the hotel is comfy and clean, and more importantly nice and quiet! We had stayed at a few resorts before hand and were so happy to end with the Paia Inn. We had access to the private beach and everything in town is walking distance. If we ever return to Hawaii (and I’m praying that one day we do) we will absolutely be staying here again :)

Would give this 5 stars but when we got to our very expensive 1 bedroom ocean view room, the air conditioning didn’t work. They claimed it had earlier in the day but I highly doubt it. I could tell by listening to the compressor outside this was not a one day fix, our room was 84 degree. They moved us to the stand alone 3 bed room beach house for the night and told us only to take necessities for the night, and we would be back in our original room the next day. We are only here for two nights and needless to say super inconvenient. The next AM I got an email stating we could stay in the 3 bedroom cottage for the rest of our stay, would have been better to just move us there to begin with, don’t really get that logic. Besides that gaffe the place was super nice, the cottage was beautiful and the staff was very helpful. I know some of the other rooms are small but where we stayed was really open and a simple easy walk to a semi-​private beach. My theory with hotels, is once an issue occurs that needs fixing, just move the patrons to a better room and deal with it, don’t ask them to move and possibly move back once the problem in this case the A/​C is fixed, its really inconvenient, but then again the girls working here were young and probably just following orders.

Not happy. Room #6 sucks compared to the rest of the rooms… and it was just shy of $ 500/​night in April (off season). If you can’t get one of the really good rooms, skip this place. Yes, it’s funky. Yes, it’s a cute boutique. But our room had a view of the fence from every window. On this same trip we also stayed at Grand Wailea for 5 nights. Ans also stayed Travassa Hana Hotel for two nights. Hana was less expensive, and it’s internationally recognized as a top notch, first class hotel. Another item of note… this is a hippy town all the way. In 1.5 hours exploring the stores in town, I had to deal with second hand marijuana smoke 3 times. Have fun, but please don’t share with me!

The best Customer Service my husband and I have ever had. We arrived with one of my favorite bottles of wine in our room with a welcome note. We got a bigger room on the street and it was very nice. Very comfortable bed, cute décor. My only complaint was the street noise that woke me up in the night. I’m a very light sleeper but my husband never heard the noise. We plan on coming back and getting a room closer to the beach.
But again the ladies that work there are beyond kind, genuine and very down to earth. We can’t wait to come back next year.

Aloha! We have stayed here the last 3 January’s for a few nights to kick start long maui trips. Lovely property, really friendly staff, clean, but small updated rooms. A little pricey, but great beach location. Nice way to stay in the heart of charming Paia town. We have loved staying here every time.
Give it a try!!!

We were privileged to find this boutique hotel our first trip to Maui and we were determined to stay here when we returned a few years later.
The accommodations are modern, incredibly clean, and feel just like home. Not to mention the staff is amazing. Both times we’ve stayed here we’ve had awkward flight times and both times the staff has gone above and beyond expectations to ensure our stay was amazing.
Thanks for the day room! Thanks for everything!

My mom and I stayed at Paia Inn for two nights and absolutely loved it! Initially we had a smaller room booked but I guess because of the ongoing construction and noise, they upgraded us to a bigger room so that we wouldn’t have to deal with the noise.
The room was amazing. Very clean and modern, updated and stylish. I loved the bathroom. The room comes with a kitchenette so you can cook if you want to. The staffs are very nice and they showed us around the property, explained and left us a note in the room with a bottle of white wine.
You have a private access to the beach in the back and they have all the beach gears for you. They have a parking lot located near the hotel literally like 15 steps away.
It if a little pricier and all but I think this place beats anywhere else around.

Great boutique hotel in the heart of Paia. The staff was so welcoming and friendly. They thought of every little detail to make their guests feel like home (the Hawaiian version), from the morning coffee/​tea/​mimosa station to the complimentary beach gear. The private access to the beach was incredible.
Will definitely include Paia Inn on our next Hawaii adventure.

The Paia Inn in Paia might be the best address for you to stay if you want a nice room and a superb beach access. The staff is just great, always helpful and nice, just as you would expect it to be in the perfect place. I’d give the place five stars, but then again, if I would have booked a beach house instead of a towns view, then I would have to give the beach house six stars, so because I took smaller room, this time only four out of five. And next time the beach House if I become rich in the meantime.

LOVED this hotel. My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon in one of the garden view one bedroom suites. We had a patio, outdoor shower, living room, beautiful bathroom, full kitchen and bedroom. It was like our own apartment in paradise!
The service was amazing. Our room wasn’t ready until 15 minutes after check in, so the front desk promptly brought us a bottle of white wine to apologize. The staff was so helpful with recommendations in the area and for activities to do. The beach is public, but there was hardly anyone on it and it’s literally a 30 second walk from every room (unless you have a beach front room, obviously). The hotel offers complimentary beach chairs, towels and beach equipment to all customers. Also, their free coffee was spectacular.
Paia is definitely not a super touristy spot, but if you want a more authentic experience with a little more privacy, this is the place to be. It was also awesome to be able to walk to some restaurants and shops and not worry about driving.

**BEST BOUTIQUE HOTEL IN PAIA**
Paia was such an ideal beach town.
Hawt surfer babes, fantastic cafes, and a clean and isolated beach.
We had an early check-​in at noon (instead of 3PM), thanks to Nina, one of the best hotel staff members we have ever encountered.
She personally showed us the private beach access and made sure we were happy with our stay. She also answered all of our questions regarding nearby activities.
LOVED her.
We opted for a Junior Suite, room #10, a beautiful beach bungalow room with modern amenities and Hawaiian accents.
LIKES:
*Continental Breakfast
*Gym membership to Upcountry Fitness (free yoga and pilate classes there)
*Free Wi-​Fi (excellent signal)
*Free use of snorkel equipment, boogie boards, lawn chairs, etc.
*Private Beach Access (most excellent)
*Free Ice Chests
*Free Parking
*Big flat screen tv :)
*Fantastic customer service (went above and beyond for my bday)
DISLIKES:
*A bit pricey ($ 300+ a night for the Junior Suite), but oh so worth it
*Mosquitoes (bring some repellent)
*Electricity went out on us 3x (but the front desk responded promptly)
We absolutely loved this hotel. Best place we’ve stayed so far on Maui.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
