Location & surroundings
The resort occupies 15 oceanfront acres in Wailea, a planned resort community on Maui’s dry south-western coast, immediately above Mōkapu Beach. The surrounding district is primarily coastal and resort-based, with landscaped properties, beaches, golf courses, restaurants and shopping rather than a traditional town centre. The Shops at Wailea are approximately 650 metres away, and the Wailea Beach Path links several neighbouring beaches and resorts on foot. Kihei lies north of Wailea and offers a broader range of shops and local services. Maui has no passenger rail system, so rental cars, taxis, ride services and organised transfers are the principal options for airport journeys and island touring.

Best time to visit
Wailea is a year-round beach destination, with generally warm conditions throughout the year. December to March attracts winter visitors and coincides with Maui’s main humpback-whale season, while summer often brings strong demand from families. April to May and September to November can be quieter outside major holiday periods. Rainfall and ocean conditions vary locally, and winter swells can affect swimming or water activities even when conditions on land remain pleasant.
