Andaz Maui at Wailea
The result is a resort that’s on a level with the Pacific Rim’s finest, and for North Americans it carries the added benefit of being many hours closer to home. It’s no imitation, however — the concept is fully localized, Hawaiian through and through, from the décor to the landscaping to the cuisine. The location, in Maui’s upscale Wailea, makes it a perfect fit; here the Andaz’s tightly composed design and the thoroughly high-end comforts feel right at home.
And if there’s nothing enormously surprising about it, that might simply be because expectations are so (justifiably) high. Stylish environs, inventive cuisine, first-rate accommodations and faultless service that effortlessly finds the proper balance between friendly and professional — all this in a place no less magical than Maui.
How to get there:
Andaz Maui is a 30-minute drive from Kahului International Airport (OGG).

I have lost count how many times I have stayed at the Andaz Maui … it is a jewel. I love staying here and totally escaping from the world - there are a million activities, but may favorite things to do are to have an incredible buffet breakfast; sit by the beach for a few hours and swim in the ocean; head to the quiet adult pool, swim, sun and drink; and then have an incredible dinner at the hotel or onsite Morimoto. And of course spa when I can - the spa is amazing.
Restaurants and overall look
The service and overall hotel environment was overall very pleasant and created a very relaxing stay. The resort opens early, meaning that those of you with U.S. East Coast jetlag have food options and can start the day early when you wake!
