The adults-only serenity pool, where you float with a spicy hibiscus margarita while staring at Lanai, is the one that matters most. This Forbes Five Star resort on Maui's sunny Wailea coast is where the first season of White Lotus was filmed, so yes, you will recognize the lobby. Multiple pools, oceanview restaurants, and an outdoor gym that at least lets you feel the trade winds while you suffer. A Michelin Key holder.

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.
