Consultant's view

Alaa's take on Maui

“Maui is going through a structural change. The county is phasing out short-term rentals in many apartment-zoned buildings over the next few years, and West Maui is still recovering from the 2023 fires. So the first question for any Maui owner is how long the property can keep operating as a vacation rental, and what the plan is after that. Pricing for the years that remain has to reflect that horizon.”

How Alaa would price a property in Maui

The moves Alaa makes first when a hotel or host in Maui books a session, and the errors he corrects most often. Every one is set up inside your own pricing tool, so it keeps working after the call.

Alaa's pricing playbook for Maui

  1. 1

    Confirm whether the building is affected by the county's phase-out and plan pricing around the remaining operating period.

  2. 2

    Use weekly discount ladders, since mainland and Canadian guests stay 5 to 10 nights.

  3. 3

    Price whale season from January to March and the holiday period as the top bands.

  4. 4

    Price by view and building against units in the same resort or complex.

  5. 5

    Prepare a long-term or mid-term rate card for units that will lose short-stay eligibility.

Mistakes Alaa fixes most in Maui

  • Pricing as if nothing about Maui's rules is changing.
  • Nightly rates with no weekly incentive in a long-stay market.
  • West Maui demand assumed to match pre-2023 levels.

How I price Maui through the year

Revenue management consultant in Maui, United States
  1. January to MarchPeak

    Whale season and the Kapalua golf tournament in January keep demand high, so I hold weekly rates firm and only shorten minimum stays to close gaps of three or four nights.

  2. April and MayShoulder

    After Easter the island quietens, so I lower the floor, offer seven-night value pricing to West Coast and Canadian travellers, and keep honeymoon weekends priced with care.

  3. June to AugustHigh

    School holidays bring families who book well ahead, so I price larger condos and villas firmly from early spring and let couples' units carry midweek offers instead.

  4. September to mid-DecemberLow

    This is the softest stretch, so I build weekly and monthly ladders, price Thanksgiving week on its own, and avoid deep nightly cuts that would reset expectations for winter.

  5. Mid-December to New YearPeak

    Holiday weeks are the most valuable nights of the year; I open them a year ahead with seven-night minimums and fixed changeover days to stop broken weeks.

Where I price Maui differently

Kihei
Many condo buildings and a value-minded crowd; I price by beach access and ocean view, and plan carefully where buildings face the county's phase-out.
Wailea and Makena
Luxury resort villas and condos that compete with the big hotels; I price against resort rates, hold holiday weeks long, and avoid discounting the brand image.
Napili and Kapalua
Quiet West Maui bays near the golf courses; I price for couples and repeat guests and watch the area's recovery closely before assuming demand.

What I check first in a Maui audit

  1. 1Which zoning category the building sits in and what the county's current timeline means for it, because that decides whether we price for years of nightly stays or plan a transition.
  2. 2How the unit compares with others in the same complex on view, floor, air conditioning and renovation, since Maui guests choose a resort first and a unit second.
  3. 3Whether the general excise and transient accommodations taxes are collected and displayed correctly, because Hawaii taxes on short stays add up and inconsistent totals cost bookings.

FAQ

Questions Maui owners ask Alaa

How does Maui's short-term rental phase-out affect my pricing?

It limits how long some apartment-zoned units can run as vacation rentals. Alaa does not give legal advice, but he checks the property's status and plans short-stay and longer-stay pricing around the timeline.

What discounts work best for Maui condos?

Weekly and longer-stay discounts, because most guests stay 5 to 10 nights. Alaa builds a ladder that rewards longer stays without cutting the nightly rate for peak weeks.

Should I offer monthly rates on a Maui condo?

If the building is affected by the phase-out, I prepare them now, because a planned shift is easier than a forced one. Even in unaffected buildings, monthly stays in the autumn shoulder can earn more than a scattered nightly calendar. I compare both before choosing.

Do weddings and honeymoons change pricing on Maui?

They add steady demand for couples' units and large villas, often booked many months ahead. I price romantic one-bedroom condos with views at a clear premium on weekends and in June, and make sure villas that suit wedding parties have group-friendly minimum stays.

Has Alaa Elhadi worked with properties in and around Maui?

Yes. Alaa has optimized 100+ properties in and around Maui, from single Airbnb listings and small hotels to management companies running hundreds of units. Everything is remote on Zoom, scheduled in Hawaii Standard Time (UTC-10).
