One of the benefits of staying right in the heart of Wailea is the ability to walk the Wailea Beach walk between wonderful resorts and spectacular coast line. During our stay, we walked from the Fairmont Kea Lani up to the Four Seasons Resort Wailea Maui, all while taking in the coast and sunset views this particular postal code has to offer.

Activity: Walking the Wailea Beach Walk to Spago’s at the Four Seasons Hotel, Maui, United States of America

---

We had a super relaxing stay at the Fairmont Kea Lani in Wailea, Maui, United States.

For dinner one night, we took the Wailea Beach Walk from the Fairmont Kea Lani over to the Four Seasons.

Walking the Wailea Beach Walk:

The Wailea Beach walk is one of the nicest ocean walks that are out there and the scenery is perfect for a walk or a run. I was lucky that I was able to get in a run here on our first morning while MrsWT73 caught up on some sleep. Google doesn’t recognize the use of back ways off the property, making this walk much shorter than the posted 27 minutes.

The Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea:

We finally arrived at the intimate Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea. It is a smaller scale property that is wedged between two others. It still has a wonderful view and tiered pool area overlooking the ocean.

I had intended to have us go Ferraro’s for a sunset drink. Unfortunately, the Four Seasons has a terrible set up with the bar offering only standing room for sunset drinks. There were lots of tables but nowhere to sit as they were all blocked for dinner reservations.

Sunset at the Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea:

We ended up giving up on Ferraro’s since the standing around clutching your drink got old pretty quickly and taking our drinks out to a nearby pool lounger to watch the sun set which is somewhat off set from the NW angle of the Four Seasons property orientation.

After the sundowner, we had a bit of time before our 7:30 PM reservation at Spago’s. We went up to the lobby bar and took into another drink there while we waited for our table for 7:30 PM. We enjoyed some nice pupus, olives, cheese plate and a local Kona Brewing Company beer.

Spago Maui Wolfgang Puck:

We continued onto Spago’s in the Four Seasons. It was a bit of a mainstream choice, but these selections satisfied MrsWT73’s sometimes straightforward palette. We had a nice table with a pleasant view over the grounds.

The crowd seemed to be mostly older mid career couples attending a nearby aviation conference with dinner tastes that seemed to run towards expense accounts.

The menus were contemporary. They were exciting enough for me but main stream enough for MrsWT73.

An amuse bouche was brought out with compliments of the chef. It was a hot tomato soup of some kind. We settled on a bottle of Cristom Pinot Gris from Williamette Valley in Oregon. As can be expected, there were lots of terrific West Coast USA wines available.

I went for a repeat and had another Hawaiian Big Eye Seared AhI tuna with micro-greens. It was well prepared and presented beautifully – much nicer than Nick’s Fishmarket at the Fairmont the night before.

MrsWT73 had the Indian spiced mahi mahi with Kuala Parsnip Puree. It wasn’t too her liking, due to the spice of the sauces not pairing with the fish to her tastes. A thumbs down from her on this one.

The service at Spago was again like Nick’s; it was surprisingly absent. We poured our own wine for most of the evening as the glasses ran dry at every opportunity. The staff were pleasant however when they were around, they just weren’t around that often.

We took the courtesy Fairmont Cadillac Escalade back to the Fairmont Kea Lani after our dinner and they were around to collect us within 7 minutes of making the call.

My Thoughts on the Wailea Beach Walk:

The Fairmont Kea Lani is situated almost right in the middle of the Wailea Beach Walk. It’s a great location to be in as walking to other restaurants and hotels is easy. The coastal scenery is also spectacular, making this part of Maui a spectacular and inspirational place to stay. The ability to be able to walk to Spago for dinner also makes for a great option when staying the Wailea area.
