Wailea Beach Resort - Marriott, Maui

Wailea Beach Resort sits on a rocky oceanfront point between two of South Maui’s best-known beaches, giving the property unusually broad water views without placing every room directly on sand. The 22-acre grounds feel expansive and are easy to explore on foot.

Accommodations range from standard rooms with lanais to larger suites and new oceanfront villas. The best categories emphasize outdoor living, with oversized lanais, garden spaces or direct Pacific views.

Pools are a major strength. The resort offers distinct adult, family and wellness experiences, including Hawaii’s longest resort waterslide and the adults-only Olakino wellness pool. A full spa, fitness facilities and ocean activities broaden the leisure offering.

Dining ranges from casual grab-and-go options to more substantial restaurants, while the Te Au Moana luau adds a cultural evening program on property. Families can spend several days here without needing to leave Wailea for entertainment.

Wailea Beach Resort is best for travelers who value ocean views, pool variety and a large resort footprint. It is especially strong for families, while adults can still find quieter spaces away from the main activity zones.
