Grand Wailea Enhancements
For nearly 30 years, Grand Wailea has hosted travelers from around the world. As the largest private employer on Maui responsible for more than 1,450 full-time and part-time jobs for local residents, Grand Wailea encapsulates the very best of what Maui has to offer. Enhancements are now needed to ensure Grand Wailea, which has had no significant renovation since its opening in 1991, meets evolving needs and expectations.
This development effort will ensure Grand Wailea remains one of the most desired visitor destinations in the world while making a significant investment in the future for Maui’s economy through:
- 151 new guestrooms
- 3 new pools with expanded pool decks
- Reimagined restaurants and bars
- Redesigned Napua Lounge
- Improvements to Spa Grande
- Renovations to the resort’s exterior
- 30 new public beach parking stalls
