Steps away from the resort, is Wailea Beach, which is not only the best beach on the island, but it is rated one of the top in the world. There you can snorkel with turtles, boogie board, kayak, make sand castles, or simply relax in a cabana and witness the perfect sunset.

Setting this resort apart from the rest of the pack are the day and night programs offered by Camp Grande, a 20,000 square-foot-facility which is a mini-resort for kids 5 to 12 years old. Activities may include sand sculpting contests, guided tide pooling and reef exploration, swimming, relay races, games, arts & crafts (such as making an authentic Hawaiian lei or a Puka shell necklace), and scavenger hunts. The evening camp features walkie-talkie tag, hotel scavenger hunts, crab hunting and theatre games. There's also a movie theater with wide selection of movies, Nintendo game room, Foosball and ping pong tables, an indoor play area with Lego blocks and board games and a large crafts room. Facilities are open to all Grand Wailea guests who do not participate in Camp Grande programs, although children under 13 must be accompanied by an adult.

Reservations for Grand Wailea can be made online or by calling its toll-free reservation line at (800) 888-6100.
