Run away for dream wedding at Travaasa Hana, Maui
Travaasa Hana, a luxury hideaway on Maui, invites runaway brides and grooms to elope to heavenly Hana for a secluded wedding (or civil union) and honeymoon. The special elopement package features an inclusive stay, complete with gourmet meals, spa treatments, activities and the personal services of a wedding specialist. Travaasa Hana is a quiet retreat made up of 70 cottages and suites, surrounded by natural beauty and known for its Hawaiian cultural heritage and small town charm. It is located at the end of the famously twisty Hana Hwy., on Maui’s eastern shore. Lush vegetation and black lava rock bluffs above the sparkling Pacific Ocean provide a dramatic setting for a wedding. The Travaasa Hana elopement package includes a two-night stay in an ocean view Sea Ranch Cottage with private hot tub, daily breakfast, lunch and dinner for two, a choice of one premium activity (such as coastal horseback ride) for two, daily spa treatments for two (four treatments total), a bottle of champagne upon arrival, the personal services of Travaasa Hana wedding specialist, arrangement of marriage license or civil union appointment, a non-denominational officiant to preside over the ceremony, wedding leis, fresh flowers and more. The elopement package is priced at US$5,000, not including taxes and service charges. Formerly the Hotel Hana-Maui, the original property opened in 1946 and became a favourite retreat for generations of travellers seeking barefoot elegance, unspoiled natural beauty and a Hawaiian sense of place. New twice-daily flights on Mokulele Airlines from Kahului to Hana are an alternative to driving the Hana Hwy.
