Luxury hotels and resorts are plentiful on the Hawaiian island of Maui.
In fact, there is such a dizzying array of luxury hotels and resorts on the island of Maui, many travelers find themselves in complete Internet overload as they try to make a lodging decision.
One of the chief objectives of this website is to help travelers narrow the choices. We do this by making these difficult choices ourselves, and then taking our readers on-location to our own culled list of properties, and presenting them with on-site videos and photographs that they won’t find anywhere else.
In our recent visit to the Hawaiian island of Maui, our suitcases were constantly on the move as we gathered these reports to help answer this one question: where to stay on the island of Maui.

The Fairmont Kea Lani, Maui Resort
The AAA Four-Diamond Fairmont Kea Lani has the distinction of being Hawaii’s only all suite and villa luxury oceanfront resort. Rather than the 400 sq. ft. lodging available at most resorts, we enjoyed sprawling in 860 sq. ft. of luxurious living space.
The Fairmont Kea Lani offers resort guests 413 one-bedroom suites, 37 private two- and three-bedroom villas, the famous Willow Stream Spa, three pools, six dining options, and a beautiful golden-sand beach to while away the hours all located in the posh resort-town of Wailea.

Westin Ka’anapali Ocean Resort Villas
Uniquely, the AAA Four-Diamond Westin Ka’anapali Ocean Resort Villas functions dually as Vacation Ownership property within the Starwood Hotels and Resorts collection, and also functions as a free-standing luxury resort available to travelers the world over.
What this means is that luxury travelers get the best of both worlds: a full-scale luxury resort with all of the desired amenities, coupled with condo-like rooms that feature full kitchens, washers/dryers, and the famous Westin Heavenly Beds and Heavenly Baths to boot!
The Westin Ka’anapali Ocean Resort Villas features over 1,000 rooms, three restaurants, three pools, a full-service “Heavenly Spa”, two grocery stores; enough fun activities to keep you active for days, a free shuttle giving you access to the neighboring Westin Maui Resort and Spa, and it is beautifully situated on the world-famous Ka’anapali Beach.

The Four Seasons Resort Maui
Unfortunately, when we visited the island of Maui, the AAA Five-Diamond Four Season Resort Maui was completely sold out. Therefore, we don’t have a destination feature to show you. Nonetheless, the Four Seasons Resort Maui is absolutely worthy of your consideration.
We did, however, have our most fabulous island dining experience at the Four Seasons’ Ferraro’s Bar e Ristorante. To see our review CLICK HERE
We are absolutely confident that any of these world-class resorts will meet the demanding expectations of today’s modern luxury travelers.
If you want to know our very favorite from this list, pop us a note and we’ll let the secret out. Just know that Carol and I have two different opinions on this subject.
