It’s a small but high-energy resort. It is the kind of upscale, tropical oasis where children can play by pool or beach; couples sip cocktails on their private lanai while watching great migrations of playful cetaceans swim by; guests can order in room spa spa treatments with trained island healers. And visitors can dine “at home” if they choose, cooking up personal favorites or ordering from room service.

What do you get with a Wailea Beach Villas rental?

Much of what makes these Maui vacation rentals a stand out choice for a Hawaiian vacation for families also makes it alluring for couples on their ultimate getaway. These Wailea condos include 2 and 4 bedroom villas. This is not only enticing for a family but great for a couple in which one may have to put in a day or two at the remote “office.” And it also makes a great getaway option for a couples trip with friends. Configurations offer up to 3,000 square feet of living space.

Wailea vacation rentals amenities

But the offerings don’t stop there. Lanais are appointed with Viking grills at these Wailea villas. The beds are laid with luxury linens. And of course, there are the ocean views. The hotel’s concierge service can arrange spa appointments on the property or at nearby resorts. (There are several high end resorts in walking distance along a beachside path.) Concierges are also happy to arrange babysitting, dinner reservations, snorkel trips or help you plan an entire-day long adventure.

But after every exploration of the world beyond the resort’s gated 12 acres, guests can have the confidence that they are returning to their private, tropical oasis with 24 hour security and the ultimate discretion for those in the need of a true escape from it all.

For its location, make that the to-die-for stretch of the Wailea-Makena coastline south of Lahaina, only a half-hour’s drive from Kahului Airport (OGG).
