Hotel style: Wailea Beach Villas, Maui

The hotel
Unparalleled luxury can be found at a destination sitting out in the middle of the Pacific. If Maui's incredible beaches, stunning sunsets, countless water activities and fresh, fragrant air aren't enough to get you considering a Hawaiian holiday, then perhaps the chance to stay at the luxury accommodations at the Wailea Beach Villas will have you reconsidering.

The private residences at the Wailea Beach villas offer the best of hotel and home, merged together to provide a level of luxury and service that's hard to beat. Situated right on the ocean, this resort is ideally located, providing easy access to the beach, which, let's be honest, is where you're bound to spend most of your time. The resort also offers breathtaking views of the West Maui mountains and the islands of Lanai, Kahoolawe and the Molokini Crater.

The rooms here are private residences, rented out by the owners and managed by the Wailea Beach Villas, so no two are the same. But they all have one thing in common; exceptional design. We chose one of our favourite rooms; let's take a closer look.

The look
This particular bedroom is one of our favourites. It's clean and simple with a soothing colour palette. The colour on the walls gives off a warmth that mimics the sunny Hawaii climate, while splashes of blue and green are reminiscent of the pure colours of the ocean. Beautiful artwork, featuring nature's beauty, is the perfect complement not only to the colours of the space but to the setting itself: Hawaii.
