Of all the states I really need to get to for some adventuring, Hawaii is way at the top. You won’t find more natural beauty packed into a small land area than in America’s youngest state. The Hawaiian Islands, measuring in at only 6,423 square miles, are home to boundless wonders, from picturesque valleys and majestic mountain peaks to jaw-dropping beaches and secret gardens. While much of Hawaii can be crowded by tourists, the Sacred Garden of Maliko is so serene and peaceful. Read on to learn all you need to know about what we consider to be one of the most beautiful gardens in Hawaii.

The Sacred Garden of Maliko is one of the most unique destinations in the Aloha State. You'll find this stunning attraction nestled off the beaten path - just two miles below Makawao on the island of Maui.

There is a medieval 11-circuit labyrinth outside and a classical 7-circuit labyrinth in the greenhouse. You’re free to walk these labyrinths during daily operating hours, though the monthly Full Moon Walks are quite the experience as well.

What are some of the most beautiful places in Hawaii?

Along with the Sacred Garden of Maliko, here are some of the most beautiful places in Hawaii that I suggest you visit when you're in the Aloha State:

  • Na Pali Coast, Kauai: This stunning landscape consists of jaw-dropping views of cliffs, tucked-away beaches, and stunning views of the Pacific.
  • Kailua Beach, Oahu: You'll feel as if you've escaped to paradise when you visit one of the most popular and breathtaking beaches in all of Hawaii.
  • Waipio Valley, Hawaii Island: Known as "The Valley of the Kings", this sacred and historical destination was once the home of King Kamehameha I.
  • Sea Cliffs, Molokai: At 3,500 feet high, this natural wonder which was formed from two shield volcanoes millions of years ago, is the largest of its kind in the world.
