Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea | USA

Wailea, Maui, Hawaii
Five-StarIndependent

Aurelle Curator's Verdict

The Four Seasons Maui at Wailea is the ultimate playground for those who desire Hollywood-caliber service and a high-energy, social atmosphere where every whim is anticipated. It is best skipped by travelers seeking a remote, boutique hideaway, as the resort’s lively pools and 'White Lotus' fame draw a bustling crowd. The one signature experience worth flying for is a day spent in a luxury cabana at the adults-only Serenity Pool, sipping a blueberry mojito while listening to underwater music and gazing across the Pacific to Lanai.
