Best Maui Accommodations for Luxury Experiences

 

Wailea Beach Villas

Wailea Beach Villas strike a balance between luxury and privacy. Despite its location overlooking the famous Wailea Beach, crowds here are quiet, and the vibe is utterly relaxed. Villas range from two to five bedrooms, each complete with full kitchens, elegant decor, BBQ grills, and private lanais with sweeping views—ideal for multi-generational family vacations. Days here become a choose-your-own-adventure: snorkel off the point, stroll to shops and restaurants, tee off at a nearby golf course, or relax in one of the property’s two pools.

 

Fairmont Kea Lani

Fairmont Kea Lani has a fit-for-royalty feel. This is Maui’s only all-suite and villa resort, featuring spacious, family-friendly suites and oceanfront villas with private plunge pools. The palace-like vibe is evident throughout the property. The Fairmont boasts an assortment of stylish restaurants and bars, several elegant pools, and archways that frame picturesque ocean views. Whether you prefer to spend your days getting pampered at the spa, sipping cocktails at the swim-up bar, or exploring the coral reefs off Polo Beach, you can do it all at the Fairmont Kea Lani.

 

Makena Surf

Makena Surf offers a serene, high-end escape on Maui’s southern coast, ideal for travelers seeking luxury without the bustle of a big resort. This gated, low-rise community is nestled between two secluded beaches—Po’olenalena and Chang’s—and features spacious two- to five-bedroom condos with full kitchens, private lanais, and in-unit laundry. Guests enjoy peaceful tropical landscaping, temperature-controlled pools and jacuzzis, tennis courts, a BBQ area, and access to nearby golf, snorkeling, kayaking, and stargazing. For a truly elevated stay, book direct with owners and secure your spot in one of Maui’s most desirable beachfront getaways.

 

 

Four Seasons Resort Maui

Carved into a bluff overlooking Wailea Beach, this resort generated a big buzz when it was featured in season one of HBO’s The White Lotus. While you can expect less drama, you’ll enjoy the same level of luxe as depicted on the show: think spacious suites, tasteful pools, and a collection of high-profile restaurants. The Four Seasons Maui also offers a range of tailored-to-you experiences, like private dinners prepared by the resort’s executive chef and private snorkeling trips to Molokini.

 

Montage Kapalua Bay

With 70 residential-style accommodations spread across 24 acres, the Montage Kapalua Bay has an intimate and exclusive vibe. This resort is the kind of place that you never really need to leave—with an award-winning spa, restaurants, cultural activities, swimming pools, and direct access to Kapalua Bay, a sought-after beach and snorkeling spot. However, when you feel like wandering, you’ll be just minutes from some of Maui’s best golf courses and just a short drive from activities and beaches in Kaanapali.

 

The Ritz-Carlton Maui, Kapalua

The Ritz-Carlton Maui, Kapalua, is an extraordinary five-star retreat offering sweeping views of Molokai and Maui’s northwest coastline. Rooms and suites here embody The Ritz-Carlton’s luxury brand (think neutral color palettes, works from local artists, and top-of-the-line amenities). However, this property boasts endless things to keep you busy, including a luxury spa, championship golf courses, a luau, a diverse range of restaurants, and a live music series featuring well-known artists. Sun-seekers can alternate between the beach and the pool and even enjoy the sunshine at the Ritz’s beachside eatery, The Burger Shack.

 

Ho’olei Wailea Beach

An ideal choice for large family getaways, Ho’olei Wailea Beach blends resort living with residential-style amenities. Settle into a spacious oceanview villa—which starts at 3,400 square feet and comes complete with full kitchens, private lanais, BBQ grills, and a garage. While Ho’olei has its own stellar pool area, you’ll have access to a full spectrum of resort amenities across the street at the Grand Wailea. Beaches, snorkeling, golfing, and shopping are also just a short walk or drive away.

 

Hotel Wailea

Hotel Wailea embodies tranquility and elegance. Perched on a lush hillside with ocean views, this adults-only escape is Hawaii’s only Relais & Chateaux property. Each of the 72 spacious one-bedroom suites features a private lanai, deep soaking tub, and kitchenette. While Hotel Wailea isn’t a beachfront hotel, it makes up for it with 15 acres of tropical gardens, a relaxed pool area, mixology classes, two restaurants, and a complimentary beach shuttle. It’s the ideal retreat for a romantic getaway.
