Maui is a shopper's paradise with its numerous galleries, international shops, designer boutiques and shopping malls not to mention its great farmer's markets and swap meets.

Many carry Maui specialty items and products unique to Hawaii. These include hand-turned bowls and objects of beautiful native woods; oil paintings and sculptures, hats woven of lau hala; hand painted resort fashions; and one-of-a-kind jewelry, glass work, and art.

The atmosphere of creativity and discovery can be attributed to the high numbers of artists, businesses and entrepreneurs who build lives of inspiration on Maui. Long the queen of specialty products, Maui has spread its wings to become one of Hawaii's premier all-around shopping destinations.

Islanders fly in from the neighbor islands to hunt for treasure in the chic boutiques of upcountry Maui and the quirky antiques shops of Wailuku.

Along the south and west coastlines, glamorous shopping and restaurant complexes offer the latest in European fashions and Maui style.
