Where to meet singles on Maui
Part of our Maui dating guide and Hawaiʻi dating guides.
Maui is a small island with lots of visitors, so many residents meet people through community events and activities rather than apps alone. Below are real places and groups where Maui singles can meet people. We checked every link on October 18, 2026. Some Maui events are still changing after the 2023 Lahaina fire, so check the organizer's page before you go.
Quick answer: go to the Upcountry Farmers Market on a Saturday morning or Kīhei Fourth Friday, catch a show at the Maui Arts & Cultural Center, and join a beach cleanup to meet people who care about the island.
Markets and town nights
Kulamalu Town Center, Makawao · Saturdays 7 to 11 AM, with over 100 local vendors according to the market. A relaxed morning out, solo or with a friend.
Kīhei · A free community street party on the fourth Friday of the month, 6 to 9 PM at Azeka Shopping Center Mauka, per Maui County. Live music, food trucks and local vendors. The County says the other town Friday parties (Wailuku, Lahaina, Makawao, Lānaʻi) are on hold, so check before you go.
Kahului · Concerts, films and shows. A regular night out where you'll start to recognize the same faces.
Volunteer and learn
Islandwide · Volunteer chapter with beach cleanups and ocean-protection events. A morning working together makes conversation easy.
Kahului · Classes and community programs. A weekly class is one of the easiest ways to meet people on a small island.
Matchmaking
All islands · Private matchmaking service for Oʻahu, Maui, Kauaʻi and the Big Island. It's a paid service, so check its site for current options.
Apps, used well
On Maui, the big apps show many visitors. A Hawaiʻi-only site helps you find residents, and you can choose to see people on Maui only or across the state. See Hawaiʻi dating apps compared. For date spots, read best first dates on Maui and free date ideas on Maui.
Meeting someone safely
A busy public place is the best first meet. Tell a friend where you'll be, get yourself there and home, and keep your drink with you. Never send money, gift cards or crypto to someone you haven't met. See our safety center and the FTC's romance-scam guide.
