More about Grand Wailea Resort - The Waldorf-Astoria Collection
What to expect: From the moment they approach through a tree-shaded drive and pass a large waterfall, guests at the Grand Wailea recognize this 40-acre resort is something grand—in scale and in luxury. The resort features five themes: water (pools, hot tubs, a reflecting pool, waterfalls, koi ponds); flowers and trees (the world's largest resort landscaping project); sound (splashing water, music); light (the sun, tiki torches); and art (a collection that includes works by Picasso, Legar, Bolero, and Warhol). Families, honeymooners, and vacationing couples gravitate to the pools, but sunning lawns and the beach remain uncrowded.
Amenity highlights: Spa Grande—a 50,000-square-foot, two-floor (one "wet" and one "dry") retreat of marble, mahogany, and Venetian chandeliers—entices guests from around the world to the men's and women's wings for luxurious water and mud baths, treatments, massages, and its signature chilled cucumber-lemon water. The spa includes 42 treatment/massage rooms, many with ocean views; a beauty salon; an enormous, two-floor fitness/weight-training center; all manner of fitness classes; a racquetball/squash court; and health/nutrition counselors and personal trainers.
The Wailea Canyon Activity Pool is a 2,000-foot "river" that includes nine separate pools (including a sand-bottom toddlers' pool), seven waterslides, waterfalls, caves, white-water rapids, grottos, spa, sauna, and the world's first water elevator. More formal, the tranquil adults-only Hibiscus Pool overlooking the beach features a gold mosaic bottom, poolside massage, and spas.
Insider tip: When open to the public, the Wailea Seaside Chapel located in the resort's most tranquil garden/lawn is worth a visit. Combining New England and Hawaiian influences, the chapel includes beautiful woods, 17th-century Italian glass chandeliers, a vaulted ceiling, and a stained-glass mural glowing in the sun.
