Between the idyllic beaches, majestic volcanoes, and lush green valleys, there’s no doubt about it: A trip to Maui is one for the books. Since a once-and-a-lifetime trip warrants an equally spectacular stay, consider the Andaz Maui at Wailea Resort, a trendy oceanfront oasis set along the dazzling Mokapu Beach.
The Look of Andaz Maui at Wailea Resort
Andaz Maui at Wailea Resort stands out for its hip, beachy chic aesthetic. To reach the hotel, guests stroll under a reclaimed teak pavilion that covers a marble bridge floating over a tranquil reflection pond. Once they arrive in the open-air lobby, they’ll be greeted with plush white seating, an expansive skylight, and ocean views. At the heart of the space is a large sandpit made for people-watching. The accommodations — all of which boast private lanais — have a similar boho aesthetic of light colors and woods, as well as floor-to-ceiling windows that flood rooms with sunlight.
Equally stylish are the various onsite eateries: Mokapu Market, a casual grab-and-go spot; Bumbye Beach Bar, which serves casual bites like burgers, salads, and tropical cocktails poolside; Lehua Lounge, an upscale open-air beachfront lounge dishing out artisan cocktails infused with fresh fruit juices and farm-to-table plates (like filet mignon and wild-caught salmon); and Kaʻana Kitchen, which offers Hawaiian-inspired fare made with local ingredients (think Ahi Caesar salad and coconut clams). There’s also the Feast at Mōkapu, a luau dinner experience that takes place a few times a week.
Three cascading infinity pools beckon, as well as a lagoon pool and a pool reserved for adults. All are flanked by cushy loungers and gently swaying palm trees.
