Long overdue review of one of my favorite places to visit on Maui! I live on Oahu and I thank my friend and my manicurist (both Oahu-born and raised) for recommending Ali'i Kula Lavender Farm for a Maui itinerary.
I meant to review this lavender farm right after my first visit five years ago. On that first visit, it was the spring of 2019, I drove by myself, and enjoyed seeing and smelling all the lavender over sunny, clear skies. I was able to see a beautiful view of the valley below Kula. That visit left such an impression on me that since then, I'd talk my husband's ear off about this farm whenever we'd use lavender products like essential oils or soaps!
Last week, I finally took my husband here, along with his sister/my sis-in-law, our brother-in-law and their kids. Even though the skies were overcast, the farm was still serene and calm as ever. What I found interesting was that the gloomy August trip to the farm had much more visitors than my bright April trip, where only one or two other families were visiting.
Check out the gift shop/cafe! I enjoyed a lavender latte during my first visit. On my second visit, my family and I split lavender scones and lavender hot tea. Everything was tasty. The scones weren't overpowering of lavender, and they were slight sweet, savory, warm, and crisp from their toaster oven, and even better with butter!
Best to review the weather forecast for the town of Kula when planning a trip here! We stayed in sunny Wailea, but Kula wasn't the same as we drove up.
Kama'aina and military discounts exist. Kids under 12 enter for free.
My husband and I hope to return on a sunnier day and pick up some donut sticks from Makawao's Komoda Bakery on the way!
