Fairmont Kea Lani--all-suite luxury accommodations in Wailea, Maui

This a world-class, 5 star resort that sits on a beautiful, white sand Polo Beach in the upscale Wailea area of Maui, which is a little more secluded than the busier West Maui resort area. Its neighbors are two other high-end resorts and a trendy array of shops at the Shops at Wailea, connected by a lovely oceanside walk.

Gracious with impeccable service that’s the hallmark of the Fairmont collection, the Kea Lani features all-suite accommodations, starting at 900 sq ft. The entryway features a wet bar, mini-fridge, and microwave (perfect for those gourmet leftovers or even a hot, quick snack). Separate living room has a wrap-around sofa bed, high-tech entertainment center, and its own lanai (balcony) for lazy breakfasts or romantic sunset cocktails and dinners.

A separate, adjoining bedroom has another high-tech entertainment center, another lanai for sunning or drinking in the views, and a luxury, deep bed with plush linens. The bathroom…let’s just say that if you’re a bathroom snob, this is the bathroom many other resorts try to emulate. A long marble counter houses double sinks with more than ample counter space; you will not be jockeying for a slice of mirror with this long stretch of mirror. A freestanding, deep marble soaking tub can hold two for ultra romance. A separate marble shower is spacious and non-enclosed. I’m talking lots of space in this bathroom! And there is a separate toilet room. Upscale bath amenities and plus bathrobes are a given. Nothing has been overlooked in this bathroom that is larger than most resorts’ basic rooms! These accommodations are extremely luxurious, relaxing, and pampering.

In addition to the suites in the main building, there is also a collection of private 2 and 3 bedroom oceanfront villas, starting at 1800 sq ft. The private villas offer the ultimate in location, comfort, and family convenience. Two bedroom Villas are spacious split-level accommodations including living room with sofabed and full entertainment center, two equal-in-size master-bedrooms with large walk-in closets, and two over-sized Italian marble bathrooms with deep soaking tub and walk-in shower. If you’re traveling with another couple, no arguing over who gets the master bedroom and who gets the smaller room (a perfect solution for two couples who worry about splitting the costs equally but not getting equal accommodations)! The Villas also feature a full gourmet kitchen, and BBQ grill in a furnished courtyard with plunge pool. Each bedroom has one king bed, and there is a double sofabed in the living room. A very thoughtful touch for the Villas is that you get your own private, separate accommodations yet you enjoy all privileges throughout the hotel. And you can even submit a grocery request for the concierge to stock your refrigerator and pantry so that you can barbeque at the ready.

When you read that the A-listers are frolicking on Maui, look for them at the Fairmont Kea Lani in one of the villas.

As stunning as the accommodations are, that’s not the only claim to fame for Fairmont Kea Lani.
The grounds are gorgeous—lush, interconnected pools and slides accentuated with palms, hibiscus, and plumeria. Garden view suites really are views of gardens, but the ocean view suites are worth every penny: views of the lush grounds give way to the ocean beyond, and beyond that, you can see tiny Kahoolawe, Molokini, and maybe even the island of Lanai and the rest of Maui unfolding before you.

Numerous restaurant venues are on-site, as well as bars and lounges, so you can’t go hungry or thirsty. And Spa Kea Lani will not disappoint you with its Hawaiian menu of restorative spa treatments; I recommend you reserve your treatment in the outdoor cabana so the scented tropical breeze can caress your skin while you luxuriate in the Fairmont Kea Lani experience.

The Fairmont Kea Lani is the ultimate romantic getaway. Yet surprisingly, this resort also serves families equally well—not an easy task. Just enough amenities to keep all kids happy, and there’s also a children’s program to keep the younger children entertained. Older children will likely have a ball slipping down the slide or snorkeling on the beach in front. And a minimum 900 sq ft suite with separate bedroom goes a long way to giving a family enough breathing space to enjoy each other’s company without feeling boxed in.
