Wailea-Makena Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

Most beautiful beach I've ever been to. The water changes from turquoise to deep blue. Great place for a beach wedding.

There are some beautiful beaches in Kihei but this is my favourite to watch the sunset. If you're lucky you might spot some turtles swimming close to shore here. #lifeatexpedia #BeachTips #GreatOutdoors
Maui has many beautiful beaches, but Makena Big Beach was by far my favourite. #AquaTrove
Favorite beach of all time with trees lining the beach from behind. Water is crystal clear and the shore break makes for some fun rides. If you are up for relaxing in the sun this is the spot to do it!

This property is amazing and you should definitely experience it! Only downside is that every single thing is paid. They have made it so that you can’t experience ever unless you book 3 days in any case so your research and be prepared to pay extra fees for all experiences
