Spend your days lounging on the beach, snorkeling with sea turtles, or ziplining through the west Maui mountains. Play on one of two championship golf courses, reinvigorate with an indigenous spa ritual or savor locally sourced fare. Nestled on Maui's pristine northwest shore, the hotel is surrounded by one of Hawaii's largest nature preserves and two marine sanctuaries. The beachfront resort offers countless ways to explore and discover. Balance your time with relaxation and wellness and enjoy resort amenities and activities, while being pampered with legendary service. Newly transformed guest rooms and suites embrace Maui's natural beauty and rich cultural heritage. Delicate sand tones evoke feelings of calm and serenity, while azure blue and deep green accents echo the captivating hues of the sparkling ocean and lush flora.
