The spa at Grand Wailea takes its name from ancient Hawaiian stargazers, and the reference is not decorative. Kilolani's treatment menu shifts every ten days to follow the lunar cycle, folding in native botanicals and indigenous healing practices that change with the moon's path. Vogue named it among the 100 best spas in the world. At 50,000 square feet, it's a serious commitment, which suits Wailea's crowd perfectly.

A tiny tiki bar tucked into Wailuku well off the resort circuit, Esters Fair Prospect pours tropical cocktails from a patio that feels like it was built for lingering. The drink list leans into local ingredients, including okolehao, a plantation-era spirit made from tī root. Food & Wine named it one of the top bars in the US in 2025. Bar snacks, ceramic mermaid cups, and happy hour daiquiris round out the picture.

Rank 7. Tikehau Lounge
Sophisticated Hawaiian Cocktail Bar
Sea urchin lanterns and hand-painted wallpaper set the tone for what turns out to be a serious cocktail bar tucked inside an easy-to-miss strip of shops in Wailea. The drinks lean into the island without becoming kitsch, and the zero-proof menu gets the same care as everything else. Bar snacks lean toward candied macadamia nuts and Chamorro-style shrimp cups.
