Once a regular getaway destination for Hawaiian royalty before Europeans discovered it in 1778, Kihei is today an 11.7 square-mile coastal town. Nestled on the island of Maui’s southwest shore, it has six miles of beautiful beaches, and a dry, warm, and sunny climate. Its median age is 40.9 (2022), and many residents work in accommodation and food services, retail, healthcare, utilities, manufacturing, and public administration.

There are few places like Honolulu, Hawaii – a buzzing metropolis with a tropical backdrop. Situated on the island of Oahu’s south shore, Honolulu covers 68.4 square miles. King Kamehameha III proclaimed it the capital city of the independent Kingdom of Hawaii in 1850. Today, the city has a median age of 41.7 (2022), and it’s a major hub for business, finance, hospitality, and military defense.
