Are there two more beautiful words than “Wailea Beach?”

Say them slowly: Wailea … Beach. Each word is idyllic. And together they are paradise.

Perched along this legendary golden strand on Maui’s sun-drenched southwest coast, Wailea Beach Villas offers the most luxurious oceanfront, residential-resort experience on an island that is perennially voted Hawaii’s most popular destination. 

“Our guests marvel at the location. The views are spectacular and the water is simply breathtaking,” says Dean Anderson, Director of Sales and Marketing for Destination Resorts Hawaii, the exclusive on-site Management Company for Wailea Beach Villas. For 32 years this acclaimed company has specialized in offering the ultimate Hawaiian vacation experience for travelers from around the world seeking to relax, celebrate special occasions or reconnect with friends and family in a luxurious resort setting.

With 98 superior residences, Wailea Beach Villas prides itself on unparalleled attention to detail with personalized yet unobtrusive service, delivered with a fervent Aloha spirit. From the moment of arrival, guests will immediately recognize the unique characteristics and quality of Wailea Beach Villas. The hearty welcome begins with a traditional lei greeting from a warm and genuinely caring staff, who offer cold plumeria-scented towels and Hawaiian refreshments. The very special keiki (children) receive a special welcome gift. Guests are personally escorted to their rooms, where they’ll enjoy nightly turndown service, complimentary Internet access and personalized services available through the concierge staff. This special attention can include everything from private chef and butler service to in-room spa treatments, travel arrangements and instruction in yoga, pilates, scuba and surfing.

The resort’s beautifully designed and spacious two and three-bedroom Hawaii vacation villas range in size from 1,800 to 3,100 square feet. Each unit is equipped with luxurious linens and customized, upscale bathroom amenities. Great rooms open to gourmet kitchens featuring SubZero refrigerators and granite countertops.

“From top to bottom, each residence reflects only the finest materials. Some 35 different high-end designers were involved with various aspects of the property and it shines through in every residence,” says Anderson. “Smart touches are everywhere you look. For instance, if you choose to entertain in your kitchen, it’s an easy matter to open the magazine doors and suddenly the kitchen is part of the lanai. There is a big emphasis on indoor-outdoor living.”

The big attraction, though, is that glorious beach. Long, wide and protected at each end by black lava points, the crystal waters of Wailea Beach offer plenty of opportunity to float lazily along, looking up at the swaying coconut palms. More adventurous types can snorkel among the submerged black ’a’a lava, or ride the gentle waves, with or without a boogeyboard. From the beach, the view out to sea is magnificent, framed by neighboring Kahoolawe and Lanai and the tiny crescent of Molokini, probably the most popular snorkel spot in these parts. From shore, you can often spot Pacific humpback whales in season (December-April), and witness the nightly spectacle of gorgeous sunsets.

In addition to the glorious golden sands of Wailea Beach, guests of Wailea Beach Villas will have access to on-site amenities that include two beautiful pools with adjoining hot tubs (one pool for families, the other for adults only), a modern fitness facility, business center, game room and 20 elevators offering individual unit privacy and accessibility. Just steps away, the Shops at Wailea offers a variety of dining options from casual coffee houses to gourmet fare. And nearby recreational opportunities include 4 championship 18-hole golf courses, 11 world-class tennis courts, along with exceptional hiking and biking trails.
