Andaz Maui at Wailea Resort occupies a prime stretch of Mokapu Beach in Wailea, long regarded as Maui’s most polished coastal address. The resort is home to 297 rooms and suites, set across a series of low rise buildings that open gradually towards the Pacific, favouring space, light and a strong connection to the outdoors over grand scale. Interiors are clean and contemporary, shaped by lava stone, warm timber and locally commissioned art, creating an atmosphere that feels creative, relaxed and quietly confident, with a natural pull for couples and design minded travellers.

Dining is integral to the resort’s rhythm, anchored by Morimoto Maui, where refined Japanese techniques meet the flavours of Hawaii, and Kaʻana Kitchen, which places local produce and open fire cooking at the centre of its menus. Elsewhere, poolside venues and ocean facing bars set an easy pace from sun soaked afternoons through to sunset cocktails. Wellness is centred on the ʻĀwili Spa and Salon, where island inspired treatments sit alongside a well equipped fitness centre and regular yoga sessions. Four infinity pools descend towards the shoreline, each offering a slightly different mood, while the beachfront location places Wailea’s coastal path, renowned golf courses and calm snorkelling bays within easy reach.
