Holidays in Wailea

Wailea is on the southern, less exposed 'leeward' tip of Hawaii's Maui island. Surrounded by volcanic rocks and tree-green expanses stretching into the distance, Wailea holidays overlook the pristine deep-blue waters of the Pacific. Mixed with a relaxed local atmosphere away from the hustle and bustle, Wailea holidays offer visitors a true slice of island paradise.

Planning Wailea Holidays

Wailea is lucky to enjoy less rain than other parts of Hawaii, and the best time to see its stunning beach-holiday beauty is during the balmy summer months. However, temperatures in winter are still mild, and this is a wonderful time to visit as whales migrate past the area and can be regularly spotted. Wailea is in the Hawaii-Aleutian timezone (UTC-10), and Wailea holidays are just a short car or taxi ride from the major airport at Kahului that receives many flights. Accommodation does not leave a lot of choice for budget travellers, however many of the prices for hotels and resorts are all-inclusive, so there are no extra hidden costs.

Wailea Highlights

Wailea holidays are simply not complete without visiting the beach; choose from one of the few dozen idyllic beaches all along the coast, but perhaps the best choice is the Makena Beach. Those looking for more active holidays try the Wailea Beach Walk, which combines a beach visit with a hike, or visit one of the various canoe and kayak rental facilities and enjoy a trip out onto the water. There is also much more to Wailea holidays than just its coastline, with several world-class golf courses to choose from for any sporting visitors, as well as a multitude of fabulous restaurants. Pick the perfect place to relax as the sunlight gently fades, whilst tasting the diverse cuisine on offer and replenish energy levels after a long day exploring.
