Maui’s south shore has long drawn visitors looking for sunshine, a picture postcard coastline and a resort-style setting that still feels authentically Hawaiian. Wailea Beach Resort Marriott Maui sits on one of the most idyllic stretches of the island’s south shore in the region between two of its most coveted beaches. Spread across 22 acres, the property has a family-friendly energy and resort-scale amenities without feeling overwhelming. Multiple pools, including an infinity pool, a signature restaurant by Roy Yamaguchi, an adults-only wellness experience, Olakino, and a mini water park complete with two waterslides, mean there is plenty to keep all age groups entertained. Accommodation options range from ocean-view rooms, suites and private villas housed in low-rise hale-style buildings, generously spread out through tropical manicured gardens.
