Hotel Wailea
Island luxury with genuine seclusion. Natural materials, lush tropical landscaping, live lovebirds in the bar, and an open-air ethos throughout. Think romantic retreat, not flashy resort.
Book The Treehouse dining experience well in advance — it's one of the most in-demand reservations on the island
Why It Matters
Hawaii's only Relais & Châteaux property. Named #1 hotel on Maui by Travel + Leisure readers in the 2024 World's Best Awards. The only all-suite, adults-only boutique hotel in Wailea — a market dominated by massive beach resorts.
Hotel Wailea is Maui's only adults-only hotel and the first — and still only — Relais & Châteaux property in Hawaii. It sits on a hillside above the Wailea resort area, not on the beach, which is exactly the point: 72 individually styled one-bedroom suites spread across 15 acres of tropical gardens, cascading waterfalls, and mango groves, with panoramic views of three islands from most rooms. Formerly an exclusive members-only private club, it has held onto that quiet, unhurried energy — no kids, no chaos, no corporate-chain sameness.
Where You'll Stay
4 room types available
Celebration Ocean View One Bedroom Suite
Top-floor suites with the best ocean views on the property. Vaulted ceilings, custom interiors, and a curated collection of original artwork set these apart. Each is uniquely designed — no two are identical. Comes with a VIP welcome amenity.
KingGarden View One Bedroom Suite
All on the ground floor, with a private terrace looking onto the lush tropical gardens — koi pond or cascading waterfall depending on location. The most sheltered and private feel of any category, and the most intimate connection to the property's landscaping.
KingOcean View One Bedroom Suite
Available on both top and bottom floors, thanks to the hillside topography of the property. All have expansive views of the Pacific. Whale watching in season is possible right from the lanai. Individually designed with curated furnishings.
KingPartial Ocean View One Bedroom Suite
Lanai looks out over sculpted tropical gardens with glimpses of the Pacific through the foliage. Located on both top and bottom floors. Still spacious, still individually designed — just a softer view.

How you'll actually spend your days.
Dedicated beach concierge arranges transportation to any beach in the Wailea area, sets up chairs and towels, and handles logistics so guests can focus on relaxing.
Start the day on the Pacific in a traditional Hawaiian outrigger canoe, paddling out to spot Hawaiian green sea turtles and other marine life. Complimentary for hotel guests.
