"Everything about the Wailea Beach Villas is utterly chilled-out, from the quiet reception area, blissfully free of a buzzing social scene and energetic children, to the private villas themselves, each with ocean views from its own lanai. The decor differs slightly from villa to villa, which range from two- to three-bedroom configurations, but most adopt a Polynesian look with dark woods and oversized furniture. It feels like a home away from home: The kitchens are fully kitted out with everything you'd need to cook, including an outdoor Viking grill, and there are washers and dryers too. The villas are popular for multi-generational family vacations because they can accommodate everyone and their varying needs—sometimes with room to spare. In response to COVID-19, the fitness is closed and the Tesla shuttle service has been suspended, but luckily there’s enough space in your villa to do at-home workouts and the Shops at Wailea are just a quick walk away." - Juliana Shallcross
