Wailea is an exclusive resort area with world-famous spas and golf courses. The weather in South Maui is the kind that golfers dream of—long sunny days without wind or rain. The master-planned resorts of Wailea were designed around golf, with 54 championship holes. There are lots of great beaches, too, which you can enjoy even if you're not staying in one of the many resort hotels or condos. The upscale stores and restaurants at The Shops at Wailea cater to the flow of tourists.
Just offshore is the volcanic islet of Molokini, a marine-life preserve with the best snorkeling on Maui (though it can also be crowded). Arrange day trips to Molokini from your hotel or through local tour operators.
