Visit The Hawaiian Islands with a conscious state of mind via Pleasant Holidays.

While the word aloha has several meanings — love, affection, peace, sympathy, kindness, and compassion to name a few — it’s more a state of mind than anything else. Likewise, mālama, the Hawaiian word for “give back” encourages people to do just that — give back to the land, ocean, wildlife, and community. Together, aloha and mālama are an enriching, virtuous circle.

Maui visitors are welcomed and encouraged, with a plea to be respectful, compassionate, and responsible as the island quickly rebounds. When planning a trip to The Hawaiian Islands, Pleasant Holidays highlights these properties, which embody both the aloha spirit and mālama ethos.

Andaz Maui at Wailea Resort

Boasting five stunning crescent-shaped beaches, staggering ocean views, and some of the world’s top golf courses, the South Maui community of Wailea is also home to The Villas at Andaz Wailea, a 15-acre beachfront resort offering luxury villas — all with private lanais, sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean, personal VIP Concierge service, and enough space for the entire family.

Wailea Beach Resort – Marriott, Maui

Boasting stylish comfort along the water’s edge, the Wailea Beach Resort is a beautifully appointed, family-friendly resort offering spacious and stunning guest rooms, suites, and residential-style accommodations. Five pools (one that features the longest hotel water slide in all of The Hawaiian Islands), a 24-hour fitness center, and championship-level golf courses are sure to delight, while the resort’s stress-defying spa invites soulful tranquility.

The Ritz-Carlton Maui, Kapalua

North of Kaanapali Beach, the oceanfront Ritz-Carlton Maui offers direct access to D.T. Fleming Beach. Encompassing 54 acres of lush surroundings and pristine waters, it’s the ideal place for those looking to restore themselves to the wild. Understated opulence best describes the accommodations. Suites are adorned with local artwork, modern amenities, and stunning views of the Maui landscape.

Hana-Maui Resort

The famed Road to Hana — a 64-mile stretch of picturesque road that winds along Maui’s rugged coast — is considered one of the last unspoiled Hawaiian frontiers. And it’s where you’ll find the Hana-Maui Resort, a secluded luxury hotel situated on 66 oceanfront acres. If it seems “too far” from the airport, there’s a solution for that. Upon arrival, guests are greeted by a champagne-pouring concierge who whisks them towards the resort’s “Plane to Paradise,” a 10-seat Cessna aircraft. This scenic complimentary “shuttle ride” to the resort cuts travel time from 2.5 hours to 14 minutes.
