Grand Wailea Maui, A Waldorf Astoria Resort
Maui, Hawaii, United States · ★★★★★ · 8.8/10 Excellent · guest rating
A large Waldorf Astoria resort in Wailea on Maui's south coast, with landscaped gardens, nine pools, a spa and an 18-hole golf course listed next to the property.
Grand Wailea is a 795-room Waldorf Astoria resort on Wailea Alanui Drive on Maui's south shore. The property lists an 18-hole golf course as adjacent, named as Wailea Golf Club, although one other source places the Wailea Blue course about 1.3 kilometres away, so confirm access with the hotel. Details such as access, tee times and fees are best confirmed directly with the property before you fix your travel dates.
The resort is built around its grounds and pools: nine outdoor pools, a lazy river, a waterslide and three hot tubs. Kilolani Spa offers body treatments and massages, and activities include beach yoga, snorkelling, kayaking and diving. Guests often praise the gardens and the walk to nearby shops, though some find it expensive. The setting suits travellers who want golf, time outdoors and relaxing facilities together in one stay without constant driving.
