Keawala'i Congregational Church is tucked away on a beautiful bay in Makena in sunny south Maui, and wins our vote as Maui's most cultural and spiritual spot. The tiny coral church is well cared for by a loving congregation, with ‘ohi‘a wood floors that shine with a dark rich luster, old wood pews, and whitewashed coral walls that gleam as the sunlight streams in through tall windows that frame a breathtaking view of the Pacific.
