 Of all
the luxury resort communities around the globe, few would be able to hold a candle to the Wailea & Makena Resorts. Nestled
along 2.5 miles of Maui's spectacular southwestern coastline, this exceptional master-planned community boasts two of the
world's leading luxury destinations, with world-class accommodations, nationally acclaimed beaches, elegant residential
communities and a host of outstanding shopping, dining and recreational amenities including the award-winning Wailea Golf Club
and Wailea Tennis Club. Cradled in the gentle foothills of Maui's majestic Mt. Haleakala, and caressed by the
warm ocean waves of the Pacific, Wailea is an elegant, low-density master-planned resort. Wailea's development is guided by a
philosophy of respect for its environment and community, with two important documents: a master plan that ensures low density
and good community planning, and the Wailea Community Association's design guidelines, which help preserve Maui's elegant
island environment in all new building projects. As a result of this commitment to excellence in planning and design, Wailea
was named one of the country's 99 Best Recreational & Residential Private Communities in America in 1991.
Wailea currently consists of six luxury hotels, five that sit along Wailea's strand of white-sand beaches, plus eight gated
single family residential communities, eight multifamily condominium complexes, an all-new retail center in The Shops at
Wailea, one of Hawaii's largest golf clubs, an outstanding tennis center, and numerous dining establishments. The resort's
major hotel properties are linked by a scenic pedestrian beachwalk that meanders along the coastline. Its signature beach,
Wailea Beach, has been named the best in the country. The award-winning Wailea Golf Club is one of the largest
and most acclaimed golf facilities in Hawaii. It features three championship courses, two full-service pro shops and the
finest outdoor training facility in the Pacific. The Wailea Gold Course is home course of The Senior Skins
Game, the Wailea Gold Course is the most challenging of Wailea's trio. Designed by Robert Trent Jones, Jr., it has been ranked
among the country's best new courses by Golf Magazine and Golf Digest, and one of the world's best designed by the readers of
Conde Nast Traveler. The Wailea Emerald Golf Course is Rated one of the best new courses by Golf Magazine and
Golf Digest, as well as one of North America's most women-friendly by Golf for Women, the Wailea Emerald is akin to a lush
tropical playground. Flowers bloom in great abundance: plumeria, bird of paradise, allamanda, gazenia, bougainvillea, beach
morning glory, "firecracker" plants and more. The Wailea Blue Golf Course is the first course ever built in
Wailea, the stately Blue is a gracious resort course that has been ranked among America's best resort courses by Golf Digest.
In its lifetime, it has hosted such prestigious events as the LPGA Women's Kemper Open and Japan's Asahi-Kyosen pro/celebrity
golf tournament. When it comes to providing a great tennis experience, the Wailea Tennis Club serves a lot of
aces! The Wailea Tennis Club has been ranked for more than a decade as one of the country's 50 best resort tennis facilities.
Players will discover a wide range of services and activities: * regularly scheduled clinics and round robins * rental
racquets and ball machines * teaching professionals * player matching services * lockers * complimentary ice water and towels
* a fully stocked Pro Shop with the latest in equipment and accessories. Located on 1,800 acres of unspoiled,
natural beauty; both the North and South Courses at Makena will whet any golfer's appetite. Home of the Hawaii State Open;
Makena is well known not only for its layout, its excellent daily tournament playing conditions, and helpful professional
staff; but also for the best golfing weather to be found anywhere in the world.
Opened in 1993, the North Course goes out of its way to make golfers feel at one with their natural
surroundings. There are no distractions on this course-unless you consider the unobstructed views of the blue pacific,
neighboring islands, and humpback whales breaching during whale season to be a bit distracting. Sharing the
same spirit that embodies the Makena Resort, the South Course also provides the serenity and tranquility many golfers are
looking for. It’s not to say that the course doesn’t provide quite a measure for golfers of every level. It certainly does.
But it’s remote setting and well-spaced tee times make the South Course a favorite of many Maui golfers.
Located in the heart of Maui's world-famous Wailea Resort, The Shops at Wailea is Hawaii's ultimate destination for
unforgettable shopping and dining. Choose from internationally renowned designers and artisans or spend time looking for
distinctive island treasures. Then top off your visit with leisurely dining at a fine restaurant to match your mood and taste.
Whether your day is planned with a round of golf, or perhaps an afternoon at one of Wailea's spectacular beaches, you can be
assured that Wailea and Makena will provide you with all the amenities you expect from a world-class destination. |
