5 luxury hotels in Kihei – and how to choose
The luxury hotels in this selection cost between 634 € and 1,604 € a night, on average 775 €. All five state an entry rate.
Ho'olei at Grand Wailea · Ho‘oleiThe average here is not a calculation but a hotel: the Andaz Maui at Wailea Resort sits at 775 €, exactly in the middle of the five rates.
One orientation note first: four of the five hotels carry ‘Wailea’ in their name, none carries ‘Kihei’. You are in the right place all the same – Wailea is the resort stretch just south of Kihei on Maui’s south-west coast.
Our travel advisors’ insider tip
On most of our pages this is where we tell you which hotel brings what and which does not. In Kihei that is not needed.
These five benefits are present at all five hotels:
• breakfast
• upgrade
• early check-in or late check-out
• hotel credit
• points or status benefits
🚩 We checked how often that happens: among 188 destinations compared with at least five hotels, it holds for three. At 81 destinations it is three families, at 42 only two, at twelve none at all.
🚩 Why that is worth a lot here in particular: Kihei is expensive. The entry rate is 634 €, the median 775 €. At sums like that it is pleasant to know the benefits are not part of the negotiation – they apply everywhere.
What that means for your booking: you do not have to weigh up whether to take a different hotel for the breakfast. You are deciding purely on setting, room and character – and those are the questions that actually shape a trip.
Our advice: tell us how close to the water you want to be and how much space you need. The benefits question you can skip at this destination – we have answered it for you already.
Where to stay in Kihei: Wailea, beach or villa
The entry point is the Wailea Beach Resort - Marriott Maui at 634 €, followed by the Grand Wailea Waldorf Astoria at 673 €, the Andaz Maui at Wailea Resort at 775 € and the Fairmont Kea Lani Maui at 840 €.
Fairmont Kea Lani MauiWell above them stands the Ho'olei at Grand Wailea at 1,604 €. It carries three categories and lets holiday residences, not hotel rooms in the usual sense – without that entry the range ends at 840 €.
Our recommendation is the Fairmont Kea Lani Maui: it documents all 35 categories with a square metre figure – the only hotel here that does. At these rates you should know the size of the room beforehand.
We give no distances – neither to the airport nor to Haleakalā or Lahaina: the data holds none.
What the categories reveal: 48 of the 152 name the sea. The split is notable: 32 are simply Ocean View, twelve expressly Partial Ocean View, and four sit directly on the water.
In 68 of the 152 no outlook is recorded at all – nearly half. At a destination where a night starts at 634 euros, that is the question we put before every booking.
152 categories: the best hotels in Kihei from the inside
Together the best hotels in this selection carry 152 room categories, and 67 of them state a square metre figure – 44 per cent.
Wailea Beach Resort - Marriott Maui · KeawakapuThe distribution is very uneven: one hotel documents all 35 of its categories, another carries 59 without a single figure.
Documented are: two Hema villas at 297 square metres each, a 3-Bedroom Ocean View Villa and a 3-Bedroom Oceanfront Villa at 204 each, and two 2-Bedroom Ocean View Villas at 167 each.
🚩 The six largest documented units are therefore all villas – if you need room for several bedrooms you will find it here, but not among the hotel rooms.
The smallest documented units measure 35 square metres each; no category name is recorded for them.
For 25 of the 152 categories the record does not say whether it is a room or a suite – 16 per cent. That is why we give no suite count here.
What a night at a luxury hotel in Kihei costs
A night at a 5-star hotel in Kihei costs, in this selection, between 634 € and 1,604 €, on average 775 €.
The table shows all five hotels in this selection – a rate is recorded for every one. The third column says from which night the suitespot benefits apply.
| Luxury hotel | From | suitespot benefits from |
|---|---|---|
| Wailea Beach Resort - Marriott Maui | 634 € | 1st night |
| Grand Wailea Waldorf Astoria | 673 € | 1st night |
| Andaz Maui at Wailea Resort | 775 € | 1st night |
| Fairmont Kea Lani Maui | 840 € | 1st night |
| Ho'olei at Grand Wailea | 1604 € | 1st night |
The third column fits the rest of this page: no hotel in this selection asks for more than one night. The benefits apply everywhere from the first.
When it is at its best: from April to June and from September to November. Dry, warm and between the American holiday waves. Our recommendation is May.
From December to March the humpback whales pass through – off Wailea you often see them from the beach. That is also the dearest and busiest time; if that is why you are coming, book early.
From November to March the south-west coast gets most of its rain, usually as a short shower. Outside the holidays rates ease then.
And whatever the date: you get the suitespot benefits in the quietest week of the year exactly as in the busiest.
