"It’s the spirit of Zen, more than Aloha, that greets you as you walk into Andaz's open-air lobby on Maui. The soaring space is filled with light-colored furniture, all anchored by a sand pit in the center of the room. Above the sand pit, there's only sky—in the form of an open skylight. It’s immediately clear that Andaz is one of the most modern resorts on Maui—indeed, it’s one of the newer resorts here—one that feels like a rich relative’s beach house, yet still has all the amenities you'd expect." - Caitlin Morton
