11 Best Resorts in Maui | Condé Nast Traveler
"From the outside, the Fairmont Kea Lani looks like an all-white royal palace, Maui’s answer to the all-pink Royal Hawaiian in Waikiki ; indeed, Kea Lani means “heavenly white.” Once inside, that royal feeling carries throughout the grand spaces, where an open-air lobby has stone floors and domed ceilings and arches. The best thing about the rooms at the Fairmont Kea Lani is their size: only suites (one or two bedrooms) that start at 860 square feet and come with sleeper sofas, microwaves, and private balconies. Book one of the beach-facing villas, which have small kitchens, dining rooms, and private plunge pools. Polo Beach, surrounded on both sides by lava rock walls, gives this resort a secluded feel. There are also three main swimming pools, including an adults-only one. Finally, the Fairmont enjoys the full-service luxury of surrounding Wailea, with shops, restaurants, and golf." - Juliana Shallcross
