Makena Beach is the place to go for dreamlike views of a nearly untouched stretch of sand.

Treat yourself to a shopping spree at the Shops at Wailea, where classic brands such as Gucci and Louis Vuitton can be found next to more affordable chain stores. Afterwards, enjoy dinner set to live music or head down to the sand to get the perfect photo of that iconic Hawaiian sunset.

From Kahului Airport, drive south across Maui’s narrowest part to reach Wailea. Within just half an hour, you’ll be closer to heaven than you thought was possible.

"Overall, the Grand Wailea is a great hotel, however, as a guest you feel like you’re just a cog in the machine. We had a great time, but never felt that over the top service / experience that you would expect for a hotel with the reputation that it has / costs as much as it does"
