About the Work

Hotel Wailea epitomizes the quintessential Hawaiian island getaway. Nestled above the Pacific Ocean's azure waters and ensconced amidst a verdant canopy of palm and banana trees, Hotel Wailea stands as an exclusive Maui boutique resort and remains Hawaii's sole Relais & Châteaux establishment. For those yearning for adventure, romance, and relaxed beachside opulence, Hotel Wailea warmly beckons with an aloha.

Embark on a journey with renowned local journalist Malia Mattoch as she delves into Hotel Wailea's captivating history and immerses in its contemporary allure. Through a series of evocative photographs, this book encapsulates the ambiance and elegance that render this secluded boutique hotel a favored retreat for the elite, celebrities, and those seeking a slice of Maui sans the throngs.

Hotel Wailea's origins are shrouded in intrigue. Initially erected in the 1980s as an exclusive members' club named the Diamond, it boasted a prime oceanfront location, the majestic backdrop of Maui’s dormant Haleakalā volcano, and an air of enigma. McManus envisioned a transformation: a tropical luxury enclave as opposed to the conventional high-rise structures dotting the vicinity. McManus notes, “The common notion when planning a Hawaiian hotel is to prioritize beachfront access. However, locals understand that residing by the beach can compromise privacy, especially when juxtaposed with European coastal locales that emphasize ocean vistas, privacy, and impeccable service.”

In Travel + Leisure’s 2023 World’s Best Awards, Hotel Wailea clinched the title of No. 1 Hawaii resort, marking its second consecutive win. Furthermore, Hotel Wailea has consistently graced the esteemed Travel + Leisure Top 500 World’s Best List, including its 2023 edition.

About the Brand

Founded in Paris in 1994 by Prosper and Martine Assouline, Assouline is the first luxury cultural brand. It began with a desire to create a new, contemporary style of book using the couple's experienced eye for visually rich stories and captivating narratives.

Guided by their passion for knowledge, culture and travel, the Assoulines have since expanded their vision to 1,700 titles in three main collections, as well as special editions and unique library accessories - a magnificent body of inspiring creations. Over the past quarter century, the brand has built a network of international boutiques in prominent locations around the world. Assouline has also launched a curated library service, working closely with clients to visualise, design and develop bespoke, one-of-a-kind libraries.

“Hotel Wailea is so iconic because it is true to Maui and yet epitomizes the sophistication of the Amalfi Coast and understated elegance at the same time.”
