Maui Magic

Situated on 40 acres of lush tropical gardens overlooking the majestic Pacific Ocean, Grand Wailea is the epitome of Hawaiian luxury offering guests stunning views of the extensive gardens and the ocean. Whether relaxing by the adult-only Hibiscus Pool, which overlooks the ocean, or enjoying the lazy river, water slides, and the world’s first water elevator at the Canyon Activity Pool, you’ll find no shortage of aquatic fun at Grand Wailea. Oh, and if that gets old, be sure to have yourself a day at the Spa Grande, A Waldorf Astoria Spa  and take advantage of the signature Healing Waters of Maui. And while you’re at the spa, drop the kids off at the ROCK kids club.

The flavors of Hawaii are on full display at Humuhumunukunukuapua’a a floating restaurant by acclaimed Chef Mike Lofaro specializing in Hawaiian cuisine reminiscent of Ancient Hawaiian traditions.

Keep your eyes on the ocean as whales are known to pop up from time to time for a bit of sun. Some have a habit of surfacing quite close to shore, offering picture-worthy moments…if your reflexes are quick enough.
