Resort Overview:
The resort is located in Wailea, which is an upscale resort community located on Maui's more sunny southwest coast.  The Wailea Resort area features three championship golf courses, Tennis Center, The Shops at Wailea and a two- mile beach walk that runs along the ocean (similar to Kaanapali Beach).

The resort is perfect for couples and families alike, with adult-only areas and great kids amenities.  There truly is something for everyone here with a lot of complimentary services, amenities and facilities, all without a resort fee.


Resort Amenities Include:
