Wailea beachfront paradise with three pools, exceptional dining, and Hawaiian cultural programs. Spacious rooms with lanais overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea occupies 15 oceanfront acres on Maui's southwest shore in the Wailea resort community, facing the Pacific Ocean with uninterrupted views of Molokini crater and the neighboring island of Lanai. Wailea receives consistent sunshine and calm seas due to its leeward position, protected from the trade-wind rainfall that affects northern and eastern Maui. The resort's 383 guest rooms and suites are arranged across five low-rise buildings positioned along a volcanic bluff above Wailea Beach, one of Maui's most consistently calm stretches of white sand. Each room features a private lanai (balcony), with ocean, garden, and partial ocean views available depending on building and floor. Rooms are appointed to Four Seasons' exacting standards with teak furniture, marble bathrooms, and Maui-inspired artwork. Dining is a highlight, with Spago by Wolfgang Puck offering Pan-Asian and California cuisine; DUO serving American steak and seafood; and Ferraro's Bar e Ristorante presenting Italian cuisine on an oceanfront terrace. Three freshwater pools occupy different levels on the terraced grounds, including an adults-only pool, a family pool, and a poolside spa. The Spa and Wellness Centre incorporates Hawaiian healing traditions including lomilomi massage and volcanic stone treatments. Complimentary cultural programming includes hula lessons, lei making, and Hawaiian storytelling sessions. The resort's watersports facility offers snorkeling excursions, whale-watching tours from December through April, and paddleboard lessons from the beach.
