Andaz Maui at Wailea Resort

Set on 15 beachfront acres on Maui’s sunny southwestern shore, Andaz Maui at Wailea Resort steps down through gardens and cascading infinity pools to the sand of Mōkapu Beach. Designed by the Rockwell Group, it is the most contemporary resort in Wailea, with clean lines, open-air spaces and a relaxed, barefoot style that feels fresh rather than formal.

The resort has 320 guest rooms, including 35 suites, along with 30 residential-style villas, and its rooms have recently been refreshed. With two acclaimed restaurants, a full-service spa and Wailea’s coastal path at the foot of the gardens, it is a natural choice for couples who want modern luxury with an easy island pace.

The resort’s guest rooms and suites were refreshed for its tenth anniversary, with new furniture and lighting in the living areas, new beds and headboards, and updated bathrooms with larger vanities and glass showers. Floor-to-ceiling windows open to a private lanai, with views over the gardens, the pools or the ocean towards the West Maui Mountains.

The 30 villas are homes in their own right, with two to four bedrooms, a full kitchen, a barbecue grill, laundry and generous outdoor living space. For a honeymoon, we recommend an ocean view room or suite, where the sunset comes with the lanai.

Andaz Maui at Wailea Resort is as well known for its food as for its setting. Kaʻana Kitchen, the resort’s signature restaurant, serves farm-fresh, seasonal cooking built around Maui’s farmers and fishermen, in a relaxed, residential-style room that looks over the pools to the ocean. It is the place for breakfast and for an unhurried dinner, and its Chef’s Table offers a customised six-course menu for a more exclusive evening.

Lehua Lounge is the spot for Hawaiian-inspired craft cocktails and small bites as the sun goes down, and Bumbye Beach Bar, beside the lagoon pool near Mōkapu Beach, serves lunch, afternoon bites and tiki-style drinks. Mōkapu Market has coffee and food to take away, and The Feast at Mōkapu is the resort’s intimate oceanfront lūʻau, with dinner served to the table alongside dance and storytelling.

For a special honeymoon dinner, we recommend:

• Morimoto Maui – Chef Masaharu Morimoto’s Japanese cuisine in a beachfront setting, steps from the sand of Mōkapu Beach.

Three cascading infinity pools step down the hillside towards the ocean, with a lagoon pool near the beach and an adults-only tranquility pool for quieter afternoons. Mōkapu Beach is at the foot of the gardens, a calm, sandy bay for swimming and snorkelling, and the Wailea coastal path leads from the resort to the neighbouring beaches.

From the beach you can join an outrigger canoe excursion, take a stand-up paddleboard lesson or head out on a guided kayak tour. Back on land there are hula and ʻukulele lessons, lei making, coconut husking and weaving, daily wellness classes and a 24-hour fitness centre. The championship courses of Wailea Golf Club are a short drive away.

Spa

ʻĀwili Spa & Salon is the resort’s full-service spa, with its own private pool and a full-service salon. Treatments are personalised and inspired by local botanicals, and we recommend a couples massage as a calm start to your honeymoon.

Andaz Maui at Wailea Resort hosts weddings and vow renewals on its oceanfront lawns, from an intimate ceremony for two to a reception under the stars. We will help you connect with the resort’s wedding team and work with them to make sure every detail is right.
