Grand Wailea lives up to its name; it is grand in every sense of the word. Indeed, a stay at this Maui gem is a case study in indulgence, a modern day Vanity Fair. Spread over forty-two acres on Maui's south shore, Grand Wailea is a resort designed to enhance the natural beauty of its setting. The result overwhelms the senses with feelings of elegance, luxury, and romance.
Water is incorporated throughout Grand Wailea. From its beach, you can spot an occasional humpback whale breaching in the distance. In addition, the hotel boasts a unique 2,000-foot multilevel riverpool, complete with waterfalls, rapids, and grottos, which provide the perfect place for a nighttime dip and kiss. During the day, you can relax next to the pool in your own cabana while waiters bring a cool drink.
Also at Grand Wailea is Spa Grande, rated by Conde Nast Traveler as America's top resort spa. Be sure to try the Terme Wailea hydrotherapy circuit. This consists of a series of whirlpools, cold plunges, steam room, sauna, and five different specialty baths: seaweed, aromatherapy, sea salts, mud, and tropical enzymes. After undergoing this treatment, not only do you feel relaxed but you actually notice your skin glowing. More intense therapies include a number of holistic Indian treatments straight from the subcontinent.
After your treatment or other activities of the day, you can dine at one of the resort's restaurants or retreat to your graciously appointed room. Outside your room, you'll enjoy the ocean view as you lounge on an over-stuffed chaise lounge. Or soak in your over-sized marble tub and enjoy the romance that is Grand Wailea.
