Question

Staying at the Four Seasons. What are some good restaurants near by. (or in the Four Seasons) We are a couple in our sixties like all types of food but especially seafood.

We already did the Road to Hana two years ago. Any other recommended day trips.

Thank you.

Answer

Staying at the Four Seasons in Wailea gives you access to some of Maui’s best resort dining as well as nearby restaurants within a short drive. For seafood lovers and a variety of cuisine, you have excellent options both on-site and nearby.

On-site dining at the Four Seasons Wailea:

DUO Steak and Seafood: Upscale dining with fresh seafood and prime steaks. Great for a romantic evening with ocean views.
Spago Maui: Located at nearby Montage Kapalua Bay (about a 15-20 min drive) – offers fresh seafood and Hawaiian-inspired cuisine.
Ferraro’s Bar e Ristorante: Italian and seafood with a great oceanfront setting, located within walking distance if you enjoy a scenic stroll.

Nearby restaurants in Wailea or Makena:

Mama’s Fish House: Iconic Maui seafood experience (reserve in advance). About 30-40 min drive north, worth it for fresh fish and authentic Hawaiian ambiance.
Monkeypod Kitchen: Casual dining in Wailea with fresh seafood, farm-to-table dishes, and excellent cocktails.
Morimoto Maui: Upscale Japanese and seafood cuisine in Wailea, great for sushi and inventive dishes.
Nick’s Fishmarket Maui: Classic seafood and steakhouse close to Wailea, with a reputation for excellent service and fresh catches.

Activities – Biking and Hiking:

Wailea Beach Path: Scenic walking and biking path along the coastline. Perfect for a relaxed bike ride or morning walk.
Makena Landing and Big Beach Area: Short hikes, beach access, and beginner-friendly trails near Wailea.
La Perouse Bay / Hoapili Trail: Located near Makena, this trail offers rugged coastline hikes with lava fields and ocean views. Moderate difficulty.
Upcountry Maui hikes: Consider Iao Valley State Park (about 1 hour drive) or Twin Falls on the way to Hana if you want lush, forested trails without repeating the Road to Hana.

Other recommended day trips (besides Road to Hana):

Haleakalā Sunrise or Sunset: Even if you’ve done Road to Hana, the summit of Haleakalā is a must for sunrise or sunset. Bring layers as it can be chilly.
Molokini Crater snorkeling: Half-day or full-day snorkeling tours from Maalaea Harbor or Kihei, excellent for clear waters and tropical fish.
Upcountry Maui exploration: Visit Makawao and Paia for local shops, art galleries, and coffee farms. You can also tour the Ali’i Kula Lavender Farm and MauiWine.
South Maui beaches: Wailea Beach, Polo Beach, and Makena Beach for relaxing and swimming days with minimal crowds.

In summary, you have access to luxury dining at the Four Seasons and nearby Wailea restaurants, a mix of easy and moderate hiking trails, scenic bike paths, and plenty of day-trip options that showcase Maui’s natural beauty without repeating the Road to Hana experience.
