Fairmont Kea Lani
White sand fringed home-from-home


Situated amid almost 9 hectares of tropical sprawl on the sandy southwestern edge of Maui, this vast 450 all- suite and villa resort has recently benefitted from a refurb, bringing the private spaces up to scratch with fresh furnishings and fittings punctuated with local artworks and a decidedly tropical flavour. Beach Villas mere step from the white sands of Polo Beach give space for groups, while award-winning rations run from fine dining courtesy at the “plantation-inspired” Kō restaurant to music-set nibbles at the swimming cocktail den Luana. Spa rituals utilising Maui sourced products and treatments blurring the lines between traditional Hawaiian practices and modern technology caters to sybarites, and a newly launched Inspire Your Energy programme pushes the fitness and wellness regimen out into the tropical surrounds.
