The 10 Best Luxury Resorts in Hawai'i to Book Right Now - AFAR

"A family-focused Wailea retreat offering some of Maui’s largest accommodations—413 one-bedroom suites (starting at about 860 sq ft) and 37 two- and three-bedroom villas (starting around 1,800 sq ft)—with separate sleeping and living areas, furnished outdoor spaces, kitchen facilities, and villas with plunge pools and barbecues for group gatherings. The property recently opened an open-air cultural center, Hale Kukuna, developed with a cultural advisory board to host lei making and Native Hawaiian artisan displays; recreation includes two lagoon-style pools connected by a 140-foot waterslide, an adults-only pool, outrigger canoe journeys, and locally inspired treatments at the Willow Stream Spa, plus multiple on-site restaurants including an oceanfront bar serving sustainably sourced sushi." - Jill K.
