10 Best Hotels in Hawaii 2025: Readers’ Choice Awards | Condé Nast Traveler

"One of the best stays in Hawaii isn't beachfront. But that's actually a positive at this luxury adults-only retreat. With 72 suites spread over 15 acres and 180-degree views of neighboring Lanai and Kaho‘olawe, this resort was practically designed for social distancing. Each of the one-bedroom suites have outdoor lanais, ample space, and a multitude of luxe finishes and amenities. No elevators or long hallways needed. Spa services are available in-suite, and the hotel will ferry guests down the hill to the beach in a sleek Tesla Model X. In the early evening, Birdcage Bar, located in the open-air lobby, makes for a soothing spot to slowly unravel, while a meal under the stars at The Restaurant at Hotel Wailea will have you heading off to bed in a dreamy state of relaxation." - Kat Chen
