The Restaurant at Hotel Wailea Maui

The Restaurant at Hotel Wailea sits at 555 Kaukahi St. It is a fifteen-minute walk from the shoreline of Wailea Beach, removed from the immediate bustle of the beachfront resorts. The venue holds a Wine Spectator Excellence Award.

The kitchen serves fusion seafood and international plates, and the room runs smart and elegant. While most dining in the area stays on the sand, this restaurant offers a vantage point set back from the tourist foot traffic. It is a better choice for those who prefer a focused meal over the high-volume clamor of the typical coastal resort dining scene. This is a place for a long evening rather than a post-beach stop, rewarding those who trade a direct oceanfront table for a more considered room.
