Pacific beachfront spectacle
The property runs as an oceanfront playground where wildlife lagoons, rooftop stargazing, and Polynesian fire dancers share forty coastal acres.
“From the beautifully executed integration into the ocean environment, to the services and activities at your flip flopped feet, life’s stresses give way to island time…”
What it’s good at
What they say
Also in Condé Nast Traveler and AFAR.
Hyatt Regency Maui was designed as a destination in and of itself, with playful amenities alongside immersive nature and cultural experiences.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
A paved boardwalk links the grounds directly to Whalers Village, passing turtle-frequented waters along southern Kāʻanapali Beach.
The rooms
Glass-railed lanais look out across the Pacific or the West Maui Mountains, and interiors use warm wood accents.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Nine waterfalls and a 150-foot lava tube waterslide weave through the half-acre oceanfront lagoon.
The spa
Oceanfront treatment rooms look across the water, and open-air cabanas host massages right on the sand.
Yoga and fitness
Spin bikes look out across the Pacific, and morning yoga sessions gather on the oceanfront lawn.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant
Japengo
Outdoor tables look toward the sunset across the Pacific, serving Pacific Rim dishes and fresh sushi.
At the table
The swim-up Grotto Bar sits tucked inside a lava-rock cave, and Swan Court opens onto cascading waterfalls.
How it began
WATG designed the property in 1980, pioneering the mega-resort format with open-air atriums and sprawling wildlife habitats.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
