Largest Suites in Hawaii ~ Best of Vacations

Guests staying in the Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea’s 16 residential and oceanfront suites can now enjoy the new Complete Suite Experience. For the ultimate experience, guests can opt for either of the property’s two three-bedroom suites, Lokelani and Maile ($17,500 per night). The two largest suites in Hawaii, both were gutted last year and completely renovated. Among Maui’s most magnificent accommodations, the Lokelani presidential suite offers 6,800 square feet of indoor and outdoor living space; and the penthouse-level Maile offers 4,750 square feet of space overlooking Wailea Beach.

The three-bedroom Maile Suite is sophisticated and stylish, accented by dashes of bright colour, allowing the azure Pacific Ocean to take the lead. Guests enter into large and spacious living and dining rooms with a panoramic 180 degree view of the ocean. Framing the entry is a floor-to-ceiling screen of colourful geodes reflecting warm hues onto the stunning teak wood floors. “Fast becoming a signature element of the Maile, the interplay of refracted light against buttery wood tones changes the look and feel of the suite throughout the day,” notes Wietzel. Understated grass cloth wall coverings complete the island ambiance. But the understatedness stops here. Soft goods are fresh and introduce a sophisticated tropical palette. In addition to the bespoke furnishings, there is a service kitchen, fully integrated Sonos sound system, and a sauna and dressing room adjacent to the opulent master bedroom.

The three-bedroom Lokelani suite, deriving its name from the Hawaiian word for “heavenly rose,” features a large private outdoor living space, furnished with sunning, lounging, exercising and dining areas and by two fire pit lounges with seating for up to 16 persons. The BraytonHughes team has skillfully arranged spaces to be enjoyed according to the time of the day – open air, under the night sky, and beneath an extensive hand-crafted pergola. A completely new private garden entry invites guests into the Lokelani. The suite décor is a fresh take on mid-century, with turquoise and orange splashes of colour dancing off white furnishings. A dramatic circular tub is the centrepiece of the luxurious master bathroom. All in all, the suite achieves a refreshing feel of indoor/outdoor elegance with vivid art juxtaposed with creative and selected armoires, tables, lighting fixtures and other one-of-a-kind pieces. A game room and kitchenette are also included.
