The adults-only Ho’oilo House, located on a hill 15 minutes away from Ka’anapali’s beaches, offers panoramic views of both the West Maui Mountains and the Pacific Ocean. The open-air design is inspired by Balinese architecture and keeps you connected with the outdoors. MauiThe rooms are decorated with a mix of Asian and island-inspired elements, including antique Chinese wedding beds and seashell stone sinks. Luxury here is about the quiet beauty—the earthy color scheme, the open spaces, the sound of birdsong—not over-the-top service and fine dining Some resorts are large enough to have five-star amenities. Sale Pepe Pizzeria e Cucina is one of my favorite Lahaina restaurants, and it’s only 10 minutes from Whaler’s Village. Don’t miss the sunset at the pool. Also, don’t turn around. Maui’s magic rainbows are often visible near the mountains during golden hour. —S.F.
