Andaz Maui at Wailea
Hotel & Resort
A luxury resort that immerses guests in island culture.
On the island of Maui, motifs of Hawaiian hospitality and island rituals inform the Andaz brand's first resort. When tapped to redesign the hotel that had lost touch with its location, Rockwell Group imbued guest rooms and public spaces with a local vibe that enhances their connection with the outdoors.

A wooden spiral staircase, recalling the curves of a Hawaiian canoe, leads guests down to the resort’s main restaurant and infinity pools.
“There’s nothing between you, the trade winds, and the waves.”
Morimoto Maui restaurant offers open views of Mokapu Beach.
Designed as a Japanese beach house, doors on three sides create 180-degree views. Japanese sculptures and indigenous stones and woods express local island culture.
