Do you want to know which Wailea resort is the best one in Wailea? Here I will be ranking the top 5 Wailea resort hotels so you can select the very best for your trip to Wailea.
The Wailea area of Maui is one of the most desirable areas in all of the Hawaiian islands. The beach at Wailea is one of the most beautiful anywhere. When I was there I was amazed at how perfect it is. It has a cove shape to it so you feel like you have your own private beach almost. With the pools at the Grand Wailea being so popular with families, most of the people aren't even on the beach during the day so it doesn't get very crowded at all.
The Four Seasons sets up on a bluff at the south end of Wailea and the Grand Wailea extends to the north end of the beach. The beach is very nice and fairly level as the sand meets the water so there is no big drop off. The waves can get a little tricky when entering the water though.
Wailea has the best weather on the island of Mai as Mt. Haleakala provides a rain shadow, you can usually count on sunny dry weather year-round. In fact it's is so dry there that you can see cactus growing around the area, not something you typically expect to see in Hawaii.
