Wailea Beach Resort

This 22-acre playground is a fantastic family-friendly beach resort, whether you're taking a ride down Maui's longest water slide (325 feet!) or sitting at the adults-only infinity pool that overlooks waters so blue you want to paint them. Bypass the pools to walk to Wailea Beach and Ulua Beach Park.

Rooms with private balconies (also known as lanais) start at 437 square feet and are calming with marble baths and white and wheat palettes rather than clichéd tropical hues. The views are spectacular from anywhere on the property, but especially from the Mandara Spa, which overlooks the Molokini crater and the island of Kaho'olawe. You can also experience the grandeur of the three championship 18-hole golf courses — the Wailea Golf Club is considered one of the best in the country — or get SCUBA dive-certified.
