Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea
Wailea, Hawaii
It could be the view. Or the weather. Or the opulent surroundings. But really, none of those are the reason the Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea is a perennial contender for best hotel on earth. What is? The service. From the moment you step out of your vehicle and take the first sip of your complimentary check-in cocktail to the moment you depart, you're treated like royalty — even if a real king and queen are in the room next to you. There's plenty to do, with golf nearby, two swimming pools — including an adults-only infinity pool with a swim-up bar — decadent restaurants, including a fantastic outpost of Spago, and a world-class spa. But with views like these, it's perfectly acceptable to do nothing at all.
