More Stunning Enhancements
Hōkūpa‘a is not the only new experience at The Westin Maui.
The 12-acre resort on Kaʻanapali Beach recently completed the final phase of a $120 million transformation that reimagines the property as an oasis of wellbeing and offers a guest experience unlike any other on the island of Maui. An emphasis on Native Hawaiian culture, wellness and a connection to Nature guided the extensive renovation that includes a redesigned luxury tower, upgrades to the resort’s sprawling pool playground, a new wellness spa, and a complete rebuild of dining options.
Spanning 87,000 square feet, The Westin Maui’s pool playground is “wowing” guests of all ages. Adults and children now have their own spots for soaking, swimming and playing while a newly designed family pool and two connecting pools with swim-‐through waterfalls and a hidden Jacuzzi provide fun and relaxation for everyone. Lush landscaping, scenic walkways, and expanded lounge and seating areas surround the resort’s luxury swimming spots, creating the ultimate resort sanctuary.
Leading the culinary transformation is waicoco, a brand new signature restaurant from Chris Kajioka, a celebrated Hawaii chef and multiple James Beard Foundation award nominee. A spirited take on the Hawaiian words for water and coconut, waicoco pays homage to Hawaii’s rich cultural diversity. Gracious service and attention to detail complement the New American cuisine that Chef Kajioka is known for. Drawing inspiration from Kaijoka’s restaurants Senia and Miro Kaimuki in Honolulu, waicoco’s menu will include composed local bites with maximum flavor profiles. Opening in late December, the 200-seat eatery features The Deck, a large open-air space with uninterrupted views of three islands and the Pacific Ocean; the Dining Room, a modern and stylish indoor space; and Trades, a casual concept for poolside fare to-go.
In addition to waicoco, guests can also dine at three newly opened dining spots: Hale Moʻolelo, Mahele Market, and Hale ʻA. While each space has a distinctive vibe they all celebrate Maui’s natural bounty and multicultural heritage in dramatic outdoor settings.
At dusk, guests are invited to Chase the Sunset, an end-of-the-day experience at Hale Moʻolelo that includes the blowing of pū (conch shells) at sunset followed by a quiet moment to observe the environment, reflect on the day and toast to wellbeing.
“We can’t wait to welcome guests back to our newly renovated resort,” said Gregg Lundberg, general manager of The Westin Maui Resort & Spa, Kaʻanapali. “The changes that have taken place are truly spectacular, and I know our guests will appreciate the elevated experience our resort offers and the fact that no detail – from our superior culinary offerings to our unmatched arrival experience – has been overlooked.”
