What to pack

What May feels like

May is the window locals point visitors toward, and the upcountry jacaranda are in bloom on the drive up to Kula. The film festival sets up open-air screenings on a Wailea lawn around the start of summer, which is a very Maui way to watch a movie.

Real rain shows up about 2 days all month; the rest stay dry. It’s sticky — light fabrics and an afternoon break earn their keep.

Can you swim?

The ocean runs about 78° — bath-warm.
