About this hotel
General information
Fairmont Kea Lani sits on the water’s edge beside a white-sand beach, surrounded by almost 9 hectares of tropical gardens. Every one of its 413 rooms is a suite, and 37 two-storey villas each have a private courtyard with a plunge pool. The Fairmont standard meets the character of Hawaii here: three large pools, several restaurants and bars, water sports and a Fairmont Spa built around local healing traditions.
Hawaiian culture has its own home in Hale Kukuna, an open-air cultural centre offering hula, ʻukulele and lei-making lessons. Events are served by the 780 m² Kea Lani Ballroom, which divides into five spaces, several smaller rooms and a series of outdoor venues, the largest being the oceanfront Polo Beach Lawn. The hotel arranges weddings and honeymoon programmes.
Location
The hotel lies on Maui’s south-west coast by Polo Beach in Wailea, 27 km from Kahului Airport.
Spa
Fairmont Spa has 13 treatment rooms and two open-air cabanas, one oceanfront and one poolside. The women’s area has a eucalyptus steam room, three experience showers and a Hawaiian clay bar with volcanic and lavender clays; the men’s area a dry sauna and two experience showers, with a nail salon and barber alongside. Treatments are shaped by the Hawaiian idea of mana, or life energy, and by local ingredients.
Sports & leisure
Three outdoor pools: the adults-only Tranquility Pool and two family pools linked by a 43-metre waterslide, the upper one with a whirlpool, plus private cabanas. The 24-hour fitness centre is open to guests aged 16 and over, with daily group classes. Snorkelling starts straight from Polo Beach, and a partner water-sports outfitter offers stand-up paddleboarding, sea kayaking, Hawaiian outrigger canoe trips and scuba certification. Hale Kukuna teaches hula, ʻukulele and lei making free of charge to in-house guests, and the concierge books golf.
For children
Families have the lower pool with its own children’s section and the 43-metre waterslide, children’s menus in the restaurants, a welcome gift for young guests and family workshops in the resort’s activity programme.
Restaurants & bars
The kitchens lean towards Hawaiian and Pacific Rim flavours and seafood.
- Kō — dishes from the cultures that met on Maui in the sugarcane era: Hawaiian, Filipino, Portuguese, Korean, Japanese and Chinese
- Pilina — bar and sushi lounge with island drinks and bites
