Andaz Maui at Wailea Resort
The HawaiiGuide Read: The smart-money Wailea booking. The Andaz runs sleeker and more modern than the marquee resorts on either side, sits on its own tiered beachfront, and frequently undercuts its neighbors on rate. Guest ratings around 4.6 say nothing was sacrificed to do it. The cascading pools at sunset are the property's signature for good reason.
Best for: design-minded couples and travelers who want top-shelf Wailea without paying the legacy-name premium. Skip it if: you want old-school resort warmth — the minimalist style reads cool in both senses, and families sometimes find it more chic than comfortable.
Our read: rate-for-rate the strongest value in luxury Wailea right now. How the neighborhood stacks up: our South Maui guide.
How we write these: we look at the performance data across the whole spectrum of Hawaii properties — guest ratings, review patterns, location, value — and tell you our honest findings. Some booking links earn us a commission at no cost to you; the read itself isn't for sale.
