Maui’s southern coast is pretty much the definition of “paradise,” with its beautiful beaches, flavorful dining options, outdoor activities, and pampering hideaways like the Fairmont Kea Lani, Hawaii’s only all-suite and villa luxury oceanfront resort. Guests enjoy everything from a 140-foot waterslide to championship golf and tennis facilities. But those interested in wellness are especially in luck.
Naturally, wellness in Hawaii means connecting with the outdoors, and the resort makes that a snap—while also connecting you with local heritage. On the weekly 45-minute Hawaiian Culture Tour, you’ll hear the engaging tales of Maui’s creation, and learn about native plants like papaya, laua’e, and sugar cane. The one-hour Hawaii Canoe Experience will teach you the basics of paddling, as well as the history of paddling in Hawaiian culture, as you glide through the scenic waterways.
Stellar service is at the core of the Fairmont Kea Lani’s success, and that same personalized attention is applied to its fitness programming. Led by the on-site Energy Ambassador, Certified Personal trainer Ty Roberts, the Inspire Your Energy program curates each guest’s wellness activities based on their individual needs, goals, and fitness levels. Many of the offered experiences are held outdoors to harness the island’s mana, or energy, include garden yoga sessions, daily barre, Pilates, and aqua fitness classes.
You’ll also find healthy choices and Inspire Your Energy program-approved dishes on many of the resort’s menus, making eating well a no-brainer. The daily breakfast buffet at the Kea Lani Restaurant, for example, features low-sugar, gluten-free, raw, vegan, and macrobiotic options, while the elegant Kō spotlights island-fresh produce, meat, and seafood. Kō also offers a morning juice bar and memorable experiences like four-course Twilight Dinners and Sunday Night Laulau, a weekly dinner showcasing traditional Hawaiian dishes and Maui-caught seafood.

All this healthy living has its rewards, like treating yourself to some quality time at the award-winning Willow Stream Spa, where ancient influences, local ingredients, and expert skills all come together. Inspired by the Hawaiian traditions of honoring the spirit (nā akua), people (nā kanaka maoli) and land (ka ‘āina), the spa’s menu includes treatments performed with ‘awa root, green papaya, organic coconut oil, and other island-grown products.
Two-hour signature services like the Welina Journey—an herb-and-pa’akai (Maui coastal sea salt) scrub, infra-red therapy, and the wave-like lomilomi massage—and the Natural Hawaiian Journey, a transportive experience with salt scrub, clay body mask, ti leaf wrap, citrus scalp massage, and moisturizing with Maui vanilla bean and coconut body butter, leave you blissfully mellow and enveloped in island aromas.
If picking and choosing among these offerings seems overwhelming, the resort can help eliminate that stress, too: the recently-launched Inspire Your Energy Wellness Package includes overnights in a one-bedroom suite, daily buffet breakfast with healthy options, a personal Fitness & Wellness consultation, access to all daily fitness classes and spa facilities, and two 60-minute treatments, followed by time in the heat and hydro areas, mud bar, and Maui rain shower. It’s a perfectly packaged taste of this serene corner of paradise.
