Category Andaz Maui at Wailea Resort Hale Mahina B304

Relaxed beachfront condo-style stay with a more independent, residential feel and less emphasis on full-service resort programming.
Location Set on 15 beachfront acres along Mokapu Beach in Wailea on Maui’s southwestern coast, with direct beach access and a scenic oceanfront path nearby. A beachfront condo option at Hale Mahina B304, better framed as a stay-first accommodation rather than a Wailea-style resort campus.

Condo-style lodging that will appeal most to travelers who prefer a self-contained vacation rental feel over hotel rooms and resort suites.
Dining Multiple on-site dining venues, including Ka‘ana Kitchen, Morimoto Maui, Lehua Lounge, Bumbye Beach Bar, Mōkapu Market, and in-room dining. Best for guests comfortable planning meals independently rather than relying on a resort restaurant lineup.

Better for independent families or small groups who want a condo-style base and do not need resort-scale family amenities.
