Wailea is Maui’s luxury wedding corridor — three of Hawaii’s top resorts within a mile of each other, sunset over the West Maui mountains, and beaches that read like a brochure.

Wailea: where Maui’s most photographed weddings happen

Wailea sits on Maui’s sunny south shore, home to the Grand Wailea, Four Seasons, Andaz, and Fairmont Kea Lani. The five Wailea beaches (Polo, Wailea, Ulua, Mokapu, Keawakapu) are all walkable from the resort row and each has its own personality — from family-friendly to romantic and quiet.

Wailea ceremonies are usually held at golden hour, 60–90 minutes before sunset, with the West Maui mountains and Lanai visible across the channel. Most resorts handle the permit, setup, and timeline as part of their wedding package. We coordinate directly with on-site planners.

FAQ

Wailea wedding questions, answered

Which Wailea resort is best for a wedding?

Each has a personality: Grand Wailea (most elaborate), Four Seasons (most polished), Andaz (most modern), Fairmont Kea Lani (most romantic). We’ve photographed weddings at all four and can help match your style.

When is sunset in Wailea?

Between 6:00 and 7:15 p.m. depending on the season. Ceremonies typically start 90 minutes before sunset to give us full golden hour.

Do Wailea resorts handle the permit?

Yes for ceremonies held on resort property. For ceremonies on public beaches (Polo, Ulua), the resort usually files the DLNR permit on your behalf.

Can we do a Wailea engagement session separately?

Absolutely. Wailea engagement sessions are popular as standalone bookings for couples getting married back home.
