date night 2“Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead.” – Oscar Wilde

You can keep that love ablaze in your heart by spending time with your significant other on specially planned date nights. Once children come, it can be difficult to find the time (and good childcare) to nourish your relationship, but it is well worth it. Below are a few ideas to help you enjoy the beautiful island of Maui on your date nights.

  • Take a beach walk. You have heard it a million times, but taking a walk on the beach is the classic romantic date when you live near the ocean. The waves crashing, the sun setting – it all creates a great atmosphere for relaxation, conversation and fun.
  • Play tourist and take advantage of great deals at local happy hours in restaurants and bars. Often, places offer half-price specials and live music, so your tummy and your wallet will be happy!
  • Go to one of Maui’s Friday night Town Parties! Located at various towns throughout the month, you will find food vendors, local crafters, live music and more.date night 1
