Makawao is where Cowboys are called "Paniolos"

Makawao is a town with the rustic charm of the old western days, and a place the local folks call "home". We have created MakawaoTownCenter.com for our community and visitors because we think it is a very beautiful and special place. Find out what is going on Upcountry Maui throughout the year.

We want to invite you to drive up the slopes of Mount Haleakala and take in the beauty of the green, rolling pastures and the contrasting blue ocean in the distance. Be surprised by our lively community with its outstanding collection of art galleries, beautifully decorated boutiques offering something for every taste. Or do you want to get pampered? Look at Health & Wellness in our business directory and you'll find the right service that will make you feel good. There is so much to do and explore in Makawao, you can easily spend an entire day here.

Makawao is only a short drive uphill. For your convenience we have included easy-to-follow driving directions. Make sure to print them out before you leave your hotel. In case you are looking for a particular business, our business directory lists just about every business in town by category. For our little ones-our keiki-we have included quizes and coloring sheets, you can print out. An interesting part is the history section. Read about the families and their stores. Some are still in operation today.

We hope you enjoy this website and we'll see you in MAKAWAO soon!

Aloha!
