Nicknamed “The Magic Isle,” it’s easy to see why Conde Nast Traveler continues to vote Maui as the “Best Island.” From the natural wonders, picturesque views, and lovely beaches; the second largest Hawaiian island welcomes thousands of visitors each year. Honeymooners and families fly to Maui to relax and indulge in what the island has to offer. While swimming in the warm waters of the ocean is one way to enjoy the beauty of the island, Maui also has some of the best pools in all of Hawaii. The best pools in Maui are a great place for the health-conscious to swim to stay fit while on vacation.
For Adults Only
Boasting two incredible pools, the Grand Wailea should be your first stop if you’re looking for the best pools in Maui. Adults can enjoy the 18 and over only Hibiscus pool named for the huge Hibiscus flower adorning the bottom of the pool floor and created with more than 630,000 Mexican glass mosaic tile pieces. The Hibiscus pool is an enormous 4,850 square-feet and exquisitely covered in more than 2.2 million tiles. It provides gorgeous views of the Pacific Ocean and allows guests the chance to relax in a quiet adult-only environment.
