Maui Welcomes Newest Oceanfront Resort

"Maui is one of the world's most desirable destinations, and we are excited to open our doors to this extraordinary resort," said Steve Williams, chief operating officer, Vistana Signature Experiences. "The Westin Nanea Ocean Villas is a truly unique resort that combines Hawai'i's rich heritage with the aloha spirit for which the islands are known." 

Comprised of one-, two- and three-bedroom villas, The Westin Nanea Ocean Villas is designed to be a relaxing haven replete with culturally inspired programs and distinctive Hawaiian experiences. Under the careful guidance of the resort's cultural director, Makalapua Kanuha, the essence of Hawai'i has been carefully woven into design elements throughout the property. Additionally, the Pu'uhonua o Nanea Cultural Center will be at the resort's heart. Its innovative and educational cultural offerings will honor local history, language, art, crafts, music and dance.

"In the Hawaiian language, nanea means to be in a state of relaxation," said Chris Rabang, general manager. "We are thrilled to begin welcoming guests and are looking forward to helping them embrace our resort's namesake through meaningful experiences and signature Westin features."

The world-class amenities at The Westin Nanea Ocean Villas include an expansive lagoon-style swimming pool, children's beach pool and play area, oceanfront cabanas and a WestinWORKOUT^® Fitness Studio. Mauka Makai (mauka: toward the mountains; makai: toward the ocean), the resort's full-service restaurant, pays tribute to the farming and fishing cultures of ancient Hawai'i. With an emphasis on farm-to-table, Mauka Makai utilizes indigenous plants and vegetables grown on-site and from local farms to complement popular local dishes. It also features the Westin^® brand's signature SuperFoodsRx^TM menu with nutrient-rich and delicious options to tempt every palate. The Inu (meaning drink) Pool Bar provides a relaxing setting to enjoy oceanfront views, cocktails and lighter fare. Guests also enjoy access to resort amenities at The Westin Kā'anapali Ocean Resort Villas located next door, including Spa Helani, a Heavenly Spa by Westin^®.

Each of the villas at The Westin Nanea Ocean Villas offers many of the key amenities of home, combined with signature Westin touches. The master bedrooms include king-size signature Westin Heavenly^® Beds and Westin Heavenly^® Baths with showers, bathtubs and vanities. The living areas offer armoires, queen-size sofa sleepers and private furnished lanais. Villas also come with fully equipped kitchens and washers and dryers.
