Maui

Maui’s iconic Grand Wailea, A Waldorf Astoria Resort, has opened its highly anticipated Kilolani Spa, an all-new open air luxury spa adorned by the natural beauty of Hawaii.

Grand Wailea, A Waldorf Astoria Resort on Maui, Hawaii has revealed the reimagined signature dining concept, Humuhumunukunukuāpuaʻa, as part of the revitalisation of five food and beverage venues to date. Fittingly named after the Hawaiʻi state fish, Humuhumunukunukuāpuaʻa opens to the public with a fully redesigned space and menu, brimming with the world’s finest seafood, innovative cocktails, and an artfully curated wine list, set amidst stunning ocean views.

Signature Travel Network’s Owners’ Meeting held last month in Maui, Hawaii generated more than US$2 million for the local economy, providing a positive impact for the still grieving community devastated by wildfires on 8 August that destroyed historic Lahania.

The Hawaiian contingent briefed Sydney travel professionals on its tourism objectives for 2023, and how Australian travellers can support Maui’s wildfire recovery.

A beautiful tapestry of flavours and tradition make up the incredible cultural blend that is Hawaiian cuisine. From the bountiful fresh fruits and veggies to the abundant cattle farms and Pacific Ocean waters brimming with sashimi-grade fish, the lucky locals and visitors to Hawai‘i have some of the highest quality food in the world to enjoy.

The fresh, floral air energises you. The warm, tranquil waters refresh you. The breathtaking, natural beauty renews you. There’s no place on earth like Hawai‘i.

Hawaiian Airlines will introduce new non-stop flights from Austin, Texas, and Orlando, Florida, to Honolulu beginning in the first half of 2021.

Hawaiian Airlines will launch a new four-times-weekly service between Maui Kahului Airport and Las Vegas’ McCarren International Airport from 15 December, 2019. The new route will be operated by Hawaiian Airlines’ new narrow-body Airbus A321neo aircraft.

The transformation of the Beach Tower, which sits just metres from Ka’anapali Beach, is another key component, and will include a unique package of services and experiences exclusive for Beach Tower guests.

On the back of a successful inaugural event last year, the 2018 Experience Aloha Business Exchange (EABE) has aimed to put the Hawaiian islands firmly back in the front-of-mind for professional conference organisers with renewed vigour.

“Maverick Helicopters is thrilled to offer our customers an unforgettable experience on the Garden Isle,” said Bryan Kroten, VP marketing at Maverick Helicopters. “With most of Kauai’s striking geographic marvels inaccessible by foot or road, helicopter travel provides the best way to see the island’s natural beauty.”
