Grand Wailea, A Waldorf Astoria Resort occupies one of Wailea’s most coveted stretches of coastline, its seven hundred and seventy six rooms and suites arranged across forty acres of gardens, ponds and palm lined pathways that flow toward the curve of Wailea Beach. The scale is impressive yet the atmosphere remains warm and distinctly Hawaiian, framed by natural textures, contemporary island design and a steady interplay between quiet corners and the resort’s sociable heart.

Days unfold between lagoon side dining at Humuhumunukunukuapuaa, the sculpture dotted Botero Lounge and the relaxed rhythm of Wailea Surf Haus, each offering a different lens on the property’s indoor outdoor lifestyle. Kilolani Spa brings a thoughtful wellness thread with hydrotherapy, treatment pavilions and restorative rituals, complemented by a spacious fitness centre and daily classes.

Families are drawn to the famed canyon pools with their slides, rapids and rope swing, while those seeking a more measured tempo find calm at the adults pool or within the Napua Lounge, reserved for guests of the Napua rooms. With tennis, pickleball, cultural activities and easy access to Wailea Golf Club, the resort delivers a broad, experience rich stay, moments from boutique shopping, coastal trails and Maui’s celebrated snorkelling reefs.
