The most contemporary resort in Wailea. Morimoto Maui beachfront and the adults-focused pool programme attract a younger five-star clientele.
The Andaz Maui at Wailea Resort opened in 2013 and introduced a contemporary design vocabulary, natural Hawaiian materials, local artist commissions, and a pool-centric layout, to the Wailea hotel district that the Four Seasons and Grand Wailea had established on more traditional luxury terms. The Andaz operates with a wine and beer included in the rate, a concept that positions it between the full-service resort and the boutique hotel in terms of service character.
The 297 rooms and suites face the ocean or the pool, with the Wailea Beach directly accessible from the property's beach path. The pool complex, three connected pools including a salt water pool, is the most active pool programme in Wailea, with DJs on weekends and a social atmosphere that the quieter Four Seasons pools deliberately avoid. Morimoto Maui serves Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto's Japanese-influenced menu from a beachfront pavilion.
The hotel's Andaz Spa operates a compact but thoughtfully programmed treatment menu in a facility that incorporates the beachfront setting, outdoor treatment rooms facing the ocean are the most dramatically positioned spa rooms in Wailea.
The Andaz Maui honeymoon is for couples who want contemporary design and a social pool atmosphere alongside the Wailea beach experience. Morimoto Maui's private beach dinner, the adults-focused pool programme, and the most design-considered hotel rooms in Wailea produce a honeymoon with a specific contemporary character that the Four Seasons' service formality and the Fairmont's resort scale cannot replicate.

The Andaz pool's social programming, Morimoto Maui's group dining capacity, and the Wailea beach access make it the most capable bachelor/bachelorette hotel in Maui. The wine and beer included in the rate provides a practical advantage for groups tracking per-night spend. See all bachelor/bachelorette hotels →

Andaz Maui at Wailea's case for the Hawaii stay is the Hyatt-aligned contemporary design tier combined with the Wailea cluster position. The 2013 property is the working contemporary design-led Wailea property.
The 290 rooms and suites and 19 villas include the Mokapu Beach Villa with private pool, the One-Bedroom Suite with ocean view, and the multi-bedroom Family Villa.
The Morimoto Maui restaurant by Masaharu Morimoto anchors the dining; Ka'ana Kitchen runs the all-day breakfast and dinner programme; the Bumbye Beach Bar handles the cocktail register. The Awili Spa and Salon runs the wellness programme with the working Hawaiian-tradition lomi-lomi massage. The Wailea position alongside Four Seasons Maui and Grand Wailea makes Andaz the working contemporary design-led Wailea property at a different price tier from Four Seasons (USD 900 vs USD 1,400). The World of Hyatt points-earning at the Andaz tier suits the Hyatt-aligned traveller. The Andaz Maui is the working entry-level Wailea ultra-luxury stay with the contemporary design language.
