Whether you're looking to dive at your resort's house reef, or take a boat ride
to more challenging depths, you'll find it in Maui. As Hawaii's second-largest
island, with more than 40 dive sites off the western coast, opportunities abound
for beginner divers. Meanwhile, scuba veterans can try Molokini Crater, one of
the island's most famous dive locales. Who knows what you'll find in the
crater's interior. Eels, rays, massive schools of fish, and even occasional
sharks or whales have been known to pass through the crater. Between December
and February, divers often hear the songs of migrating humpback whales.
Where to Stay
The Fairmont Kea Lani Maui
Wailea's aptly named Fairmont Kea Lani is a "white heaven" indeed -- its 450
units sit on a 22-acre beachfront property that includes four pools, five
restaurants, access to world-class golf, some of Maui's largest rooms, and a
relentless dedication to service that rivals the nearby Four Seasons.
Grand Wailea Hotel Resort Hotel and Spa
The beautifully designed, 780-room Grand Wailea is awe-inspiring in its scale:
It's got the best pool in Hawaii, one of the top U.S. spas, and a prime location
on one of the best U.S. beaches. Opulence marks every feature -- from the luxe
rooms to the massive gym -- but the resort's Disneyland-like vibe isn't right
for everyone.
Marriott Wailea Resort
Situated on a rock between two beaches, the 22-acre, 546-room Wailea Marriott
has panoramic ocean views and a serene vibe missing from some of the more
crowded, neighboring resorts. Renovated in 2008, the Marriott's spiffy rooms,
gorgeous adult-only infinity pool, reputable spa, and a popular restaurant make
it the best midrange option in ritzy Wailea.
