Grand Wailea Maui

A landmark 40 acres on Wailea Beach, Grand Wailea is built for large programs that want scale, theater, and easy guest flow from rooms to ballrooms to outdoor lawns. The property delivers resort energy with polished meeting support, which makes it a reliable anchor for conferences, incentive trips, multi-track trainings, and destination weddings that need serious capacity without losing the Maui feel.

Guest accommodations span newly refreshed rooms and suites plus a collection of three-bedroom villas. Blocks can be mixed across view categories to fit budgets and VIP tiers, and private check-in, luggage staging, and hospitality desks can be arranged to streamline arrivals. The layout keeps walk times reasonable from towers to the central meetings complex and event lawns, helpful when you are moving hundreds of people between sessions and receptions.

Indoors, the meetings hub centers on the Haleakalā Ballroom, one of Maui’s largest single spaces, with flexible sections for general sessions and fast flips to banquet sets. Surrounding breakout rooms open to covered pre-function areas and gardens for coffee service or sponsor activations. Outdoors, multiple lawns and bluffs handle everything from sunset welcome receptions to large-format awards nights with line-of-sight ocean views. The on-property chapel supports intimate ceremonies, while the big lawns carry the main party.
