A paved oceanfront resort path along Wailea Beach on Maui

Comfortable and inclusive

Maui's grandeur, gently reached.

Wailea is the most accessible luxury base in Hawaii, and the big views come without the climb.

Wailea's flat, paved resort grounds, beach wheelchairs at the Four Seasons and Grand Wailea, and the paved Wailea Beach Path linking resorts and beaches make it the most accessible luxury base on Maui.

The grandest scenery comes without a hike: a Blue Hawaiian ECO-Star flight delivers Haleakala and West Maui from the air, and many ocean operators, including PacWhale, accommodate accessibility needs with notice.

We confirm the details that matter.

Beach wheelchairs, pool lifts, ADA transport, the right room and the right table. We verify each with the resort and operator in advance so the day is simply easy.
