The Best Pools on Maui
The Wailea Beach Resort is an under-the-radar gem that's one of my favorite resorts in the Hawaiian islands. A lot of people don't know about it! If you book with me, I can get you extra perks here.
One of the many great things about this resort is that it has both an amazing kids pool and a fabulous adults-only pool. The family pool is 2-acres and has four slides, one of which is 325 feet long. With a five-and-a-half-story drop, it’s the largest water slide on Maui.
The adults-only pool is located in a completely different area of the resort where you can't even hear the kids screaming over at the family pool. It is a gorgeous infinity pool overlooking the ocean. That's me enjoying it above—a truly zen experience.
The gorgeous Montage is located in the less touristy area of Maui on Kapalua Bay. The resort has three separate pools and if you reserve with me I can get you extra perks at this lovely resort.
The Sunset pool is the most unique at this property. It features tropical gardens surrounded by multi-tiered, blue pools with waterfalls and a lagoon. It is a brilliantly designed outdoor space and, although other Maui resorts have larger pools, this is one-of-a-kind. It's a cascading pool that was constructed with lots of secluded nooks and private oases of daybeds. You will feel like you have your own part of the pool to yourself.
The Sunset Pool features pool service with tropical drinks and food. It also has an adults-only pool deck with daybeds available to rent. Guests must be over 16 years of age and cellphone use is to be minimized.
The resort also features a pool at the spa (limited to ages 16 and over) and a Beach Club Infinity Pool, so there are lots of choices.
Kids dream of a pool like the one at Maui’s Grand Wailea. Its activity pool is made up of nine pools and six connecting water slides, all of which are linked by a river that carries people lazily through its caves and under waterfalls on inflatable tubes. At sunset, kids line up at the jacuzzi and their parents can be found at the tiny swim-up bar, which is tucked into a cave and hidden by a waterfall.
There is also an adults-only pool where you can order daiquiris and wade in peace.
Reserve your next stay at the Grand Wailea with me and get extra perks.
6. Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea
Although the Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea does have a great kids pool, their adults-only infinity pool really shines. It's perched on an elevated terrace and all you can see past the pool’s infinite edge are the West Maui Mountains and unobstructed panoramas 10 miles across Maalaea Bay to the Pacific Ocean. The only thing you can hear is the sound of the bubbling fountains at the pool’s borders. Speakers below the surface of the pool play Hawaiian melodies that you can hear only with your head underwater.
There is also a spa therapist on duty at this pool, should you want a poolside spa treatment. Of course, there is pool service for drinks and snacks, plus a full breakfast and lunch menu-—not to mention a swim-up bar where you can sit on underwater stools and order drinks or food.
