Grand Wailea Resort

A Waldorf Astoria Resort, Grand Wailea is one of the best family-friendly resorts in Maui, in part due to the one-of-a-kind pool system that offers some pretty incredible features. Here families will find a lazy river, four water slides, a rope swing and a water elevator at the centre of a faux volcano. Make sure to check out ‘The Fishpipe’, the first ever rotating barrel ride that will thrill both kids and adults. Discover what going down the longest water slide in the world feels like, without actually doing so in this inventive and awesome new addition to the resort. The mini-resort (The Rock) for kids of all ages is another thing that the property is proud of; it’s a 20,000 sq ft space offering video arcade, ping-pong, movie theatre and activity room for kids 5-12. It is here where kids can learn how to hula, make fresh orchid leis and enjoy the night camp. The rooms are spacious and many of them are connected, giving families with older children space and privacy. The beach has incredible waves for body-surfing and boasts calmer waters for snorkelling. Families will appreciate the kids’ menu throughout the resort’s restaurants and special treats like home-made ice creams.
