The highly anticipated Andaz Maui at Wailea Resort, a Concept by Hyatt, has officially opened its doors following a traditional Hawaiian blessing ceremony. This oceanfront resort offers stunning design, premium amenities, exceptional service, and a breathtaking location. It’s the 10th hotel to join the Andaz brand and the first Andaz hotel in a resort destination.
The Andaz Maui at Wailea Resort is committed to providing authentic cultural experiences that immerse guests in the local Maui lifestyle. General Manager Michael Stephens expressed a desire to connect visitors with the rich history of Wailea through unique and memorable experiences.
This resort exemplifies the Andaz brand’s expansion into resort destinations, paving the way for similar experiences at Andaz Papagayo in Costa Rica and other future locations.
Designed by the renowned Rockwell Group, the architecture and design of the Andaz Maui at Wailea Resort reflect the natural beauty and simplicity of Maui. Natural materials and open design elements seamlessly blend indoor and outdoor spaces.
A shimmering Ambrato stone entryway, cascading infinity pools, and an open-air Andaz Lounge with a dramatic light-filtering canopy create a memorable first impression. The check-in process is streamlined and efficient with the assistance of friendly Andaz Hosts.
The resort boasts 297 spacious guestrooms and suites, including seven luxurious two-to-four bedroom villas. Each accommodation features custom furnishings, platform beds, and lava stone bathrooms. Complimentary internet access, local phone calls, non-alcoholic beverages, and local snacks are replenished daily.
The Andaz Maui at Wailea Resort is committed to sustainable design and technology practices, pursuing LEED® certification from the U.S. Green Building Council.
Dining at the resort showcases fresh, seasonal ingredients and authentic Maui flavors. Ka’ana Kitchen offers breakfast and lunch in an intimate setting overlooking the pools, lagoon, and ocean. Morimoto Maui, by acclaimed Chef Masaharu Morimoto, presents a culinary fusion of Japanese, Western, and Hawaiian traditions. Two poolside bars, Bumbye Beach Bar and Lehua Lounge, serve handcrafted cocktails featuring premium spirits and fresh juices. A 24-hour market provides convenient access to local snacks and beverages.
The 14,000 square-foot `Āwili Spa and Salon features ten treatment rooms, a full-service salon, three relaxation rooms, a 24-hour fitness center, and an adults-only spa pool. The spa incorporates indigenous herbs into its customized treatments for a truly unique and relaxing experience.
With over 15,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor event space, including five indoor Andaz Studios and three oceanfront event lawns, the resort is an ideal venue for weddings and group events.
Guests can enjoy a variety of outdoor activities including outrigger canoeing, kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, surfing lessons, golf at local championship courses, helicopter tours, and ziplining.
The Andaz Salon, a series of locally inspired cultural events, collaborates with emerging talent in music, fashion, culinary arts, and film, creating opportunities for guests and locals to connect, learn, and experience.
