The Grand Wailea, a Waldorf Astoria Resort, is currently going through an extensive renovation—the first of its kind since its opening 30 years ago. Devotees of the coral-hued hotel are going to be thrilled with the results and I am going to give you a sneak peak!

Several dining places and the Napua Tower rooms and private club are completely refreshed and ready for visitors.

The resort’s redesigned Napua Tower is home to an exclusive lounge, private suites and rooms.

The Napua Tower features a private lounge where guests are invited to partake in a selection of food and drinks throughout the day, as well as exclusive activities planned especially for Napua Tower guests.

The rooms have a natural contemporary Hawaiian feel. The dark wood gives a nod to traditional Hawaiian Koa wood while luxuriant fabrics and furnishings give it a modern appeal.

Grand Wailea’s design – inspired by Maui’s unique water, light, sound, flowers, trees and art — resonates throughout the hotel’s bright, spacious rooms and naturally lit indoor-outdoor settings.

The setting is sprawling, with 9 pools, 7 indoor and outdoor restaurants, 5 bars, lush gardens and 900 pieces of art to enjoy on 40 acres of land. Spa Grande is currently under a tens-of-millions of dollar renovation but promises to greet visitors again in 2024.

Rooms

Rooms are warm and inviting. New colors will be brighter but will keep nods to the Grand Wailea corals and pinks that guests love.

Villas

For the ultimate in privacy and luxury, stay in one of the property’s villas, which offer private lanais, views of the ocean, and separate living and sleeping areas.

9 pools

A limited number of cabanas are available for rent daily.

Local Tip: the easiest way to check kama‘aina rates is to call them directly as these rates cannot be combined with my booking benefits, and I’m unable to look these rates up myself.
