Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea


One of the world’s finest resorts shows how even perfect experiences can improve on perfection. Discover aloha enchantment with chic sophistication in the Island’s most spacious guest rooms – completely renewed and rewired for the 21st century. Bask in Maui’s driest, sunniest weather. On a white-sand crescent of Pacific paradise, allow Four Seasons to give you Wailea at its very best.

From ceiling to floor, the Resort’s guest rooms and suites create a fresh take on modern luxury and Hawaiian sophistication – ensuring that Four Seasons guests continue to enjoy an experience unsurpassed on the Island. Works by local artists have been specially commissioned to accent the décor.

Bedrooms and living spaces feature large flat-screen, high-definition TVs and high-speed digital wiring. Guests enjoy comfortable seating, a large marble bathroom and a spacious, furnished lanai. Most bedrooms offer a king bed, but queen beds are also available.

Thanks to the U-shaped design of the Resort's eight-storey, classically styled building, 80 percent of the rooms and suites enjoy dazzling views of the Pacific Ocean. Other rooms overlook tropical hillsides and the luxurious, landscaped gardens.

Celebrate the restorative power of nature as you relax your body, revitalise your mind and renew your spirit at Maui's most exclusive resort, along the sunny shores of Wailea. Voted one of the top spas in America, The Spa at Four Seasons Resort Maui offers a nurturing tropical retreat.

Highly skilled staff includes traditional Hawaiian, master Thai, craniosacral and ayurvedic massage therapists with years of experience in their chosen modalities. A selective spa menu, offered in 13 treatment rooms and three ocean-side hales, features Vichy shower treatments, body wraps, lomi pohaku (a hot stone massage), ocean Aquacranial massage and more. Or let us customise a body-pampering experience just for you.

For a total wellness experience, join a yoga class at sunrise, take a Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement class or feel the benefits of Gyrokinesis with private instruction.

Ferraro's Bar e Ristorante

Ferraro's Bar e Ristorante at Four Seasons Resort Maui epitomises every element of the perfect place to dine in Hawaii. Its spectacular beachfront setting is enhanced by Ferraro's open-air design, which takes full advantage of Wailea's warm, dry, sunny weather. The diverse menu showcases the fresh seafood and produce of Hawaii, while the casual atmosphere, lively bar and great entertainment ensure that a meal at Ferraro's will be remembered forever.

Ferraro's offers the perfect setting for a Maui meal, regardless of time of day. Lunch is served overlooking Wailea Beach and features casual fare. Come evening, Ferraro's is guaranteed to dazzle as guests dine under a canopy of stars, served by arguably the most attentive staff on Maui. Authentic Italian cucina rustica cuisine, featuring tantalising seafood, fish and pasta, is brought to the table at Wailea's only beach-side restaurant.

According to Bon Appétit magazine, "Count Ferraro's ... as another example of why there's so much, well, wowie to be found on Maui, and why visitors are perpetually enthralled – not to mention well fed."
Specialties

A new kiawe wood-burning oven brings mouth-watering pizzas and other innovative creations to the lunch menu, with such tempting dishes as Dungeness crab panini. For a late-afternoon snack, why not sample the dynamic pupu (appetisers)?

By night, Ferraro's features a cucina rustica menu that showcases the wood-burning oven to dramatic effect in a wide range of dishes. Wood-fire-baked focaccia, lobster risotto and mushroom-filled ravioli are just a few of the featured creations.

Keiki (children) and "I'm Not A Kid Anymore" teen menus are available.

Wailea Gold Course

The rugged Wailea Gold course was made for players seeking a real challenge. A masterful blend of brawn and beauty, this par-72 course will be the host course of the Wendy's Champions Skins Event and LPGA Skins Game. Golf course architects Robert Trent Jones II took full advantage of Wailea's naturally undulating terrain and created an outstanding layout that measures more than 7,000 yards and showcases Wailea's stunning scenery. Strategically placed bunkers and hazards, changes in elevation and masterfully designed doglegs have earned the Wailea Gold the reputation of being a "thinking player's" course that rewards good strategy and finesse. Note: all charges can be billed to your guest room.

Celebrate your special day at one of the world's finest resorts – and let it show how even perfect experiences can improve on perfection. Discover fresh aloha enchantment in the Island’s most sophisticated, most spacious guest rooms. In this Hawaiian palace on a scenic crescent of white sand beach, elegant function rooms and gardens offer views of paradise. And flawless Four Seasons service and cuisine create perfect moments.
