There’s also fitness classes (including sunset yoga, wellness walks, and water aerobics to name a few), plus a water slide, swim-up bar, and an adults-only tranquility pool, too. The villas are mere steps away from the Polo Beach, where you can begin your day with a traditional canoe ride to catch the sunset; or ease into island life with an off-property excursion (highly recommend the snorkel tours or sunset sails from Trilogy Maui).

And finally, a nightly torch lighting ceremony sets the mood each and every evening as you fully embrace the idyllic serenity that is the Fairmont Kea Lani.
