Adults-only suites with ocean views, fine dining, and beach shuttle
"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
"A favorite of honeymooners as the island’s sole adults-only resort, this rainforest‑tucked luxury hotel still delivers sweeping ocean views and a shuttle to the beaches of your choice, plus a hyper‑local menu sourced from Maui’s farms and coastline for memorable meals, whether in a poolside cabana or during a private treehouse date night." - Shelby Wax
"Described as a cozier, adult-only option in Wailea, Hotel Wailea is a 72-room property recommended for travelers seeking a more intimate, upscale experience." - Rachel Cheng
"An intimate, adults-only 5-star resort in Wailea on Maui spread across 15 acres with just 72 suites, it offers privacy and luxury ideal for a babymoon. Celebration suites include top-floor ocean views, private lanais with breakfast service, designer artwork, and a welcome chilled non-alcoholic Champagne; premium bedding and thoughtful details (a well-stocked open-air gym with Peloton bikes, hand weights and mats) support rest and prenatal fitness. Days are easily balanced between pooltime in private cabanas, beach visits via frequent luxury shuttles to nearby Wailea shores, and memorable meals—an island-to-table restaurant on property plus an open-air sunset bar serving zero-proof craft cocktails such as the Osprey (macadamia nut, lime, coconut water, Brazilian cherry, and mint) with sweeping sunset views. Distinctive wellness offerings—most notably themed couples therapy sessions called Discovery Dialogues (including “And Baby Makes Three” and “Positive Mental Attitude”)—alongside in-room cacao ceremonies or massages, outrigger canoe trips for sea-turtle or whale viewing, and floating sound baths helped guests leave feeling relaxed, refreshed, and more connected." - Laura Fisher Laura Fisher Laura Fisher is a Colorado-based writer covering health, nutrition, sustainability, parenting, and lifestyle topics across brands.
