Hotel Wailea, Maui

An intimate five-star enclave, Hotel Wailea boasts 180-degree, unobstructed ocean views, breathtaking mountain scenery, and 15 acres of zen-inspired landscaped grounds comprised of tropical gardens, cascading waterfalls and winding pathways.

The epitome of a romantic sanctuary, Hotel Wailea is designed for couples seeking relaxation away from the beachfront crowds.

The peaceful retreat is nestled within a lush tropical hillside perched 300 feet above the sea, with convenient access to island adventures by day – from beaches, watersports and golf to restaurants and shopping – and luxurious tranquility by night.

Accommodation showcases a fusion of Hawaiian island culture and award-winning designs. There are 72 intimate one-bedroom suites each with 720 square feet of space, separate bedroom and living areas, luxury linens, deep soaking tubs, kitchenettes, wireless internet, flat screen TVs, plush bathrobes, and private lanais with chaise lounges and chairs.

Design details like coral and limestone walls, bleached white oak floors, Sub Zero appliances, and sustainably-farmed Ohia wood from Hawaii’s Big Island all give you the serene sense of space of your own Wailea beach house.

Hawaii’s first and only Relais & Châteaux restaurant, The Restaurant at Hotel Wailea offers a culinary casual experience with creative island-to-table cuisine. Menus are created around what is readily available from Maui’s own farms and fisherman ensuring that each dish is prepared using only the finest local, seasonal and artisanal products; including those grown in the restaurant’s own garden and farming operation.

Perfect for secret romantic evenings, proposals and private parties, The Treehouse is a unique culinary experience you will never forget. Dine within the canopy of mango and avocados in a dramatic treehouse setting complete with stunning ocean views, seven course private chef dinner hosted by the award-winning restaurant and sunset champagne toast.

For a relaxed Aloha feel, guests are invited to refresh at The Cabanas, a casual poolside spot perfect for light al fresco meals and drinks. Signature cocktails are prepared with made-from-scratch sodas and simple syrups. Fresh pressed juices and frozen smoothies are also available including special rejuvenation tonics to help guests recover after their flight or a long day exploring the island.
