Airport Shuttle to Wailea & Makena Resorts

VIP Trans Maui has been providing shared shuttle service to Wailea and Makena for over 30 years, serving guests at every major resort on this stretch of South Maui coastline. From the grand lobby of the Grand Wailea to the quiet elegance of the Four Seasons, our drivers know every resort entrance, valet lane, and shortcut. Book online and your fare is set β€” no surge pricing, no surprises.

Wailea is Maui's most prestigious resort corridor, a carefully planned community carved into the dry lava fields south of Kihei. Its six white-sand beaches β€” Keawakapu, Mokapu, Ulua, Wailea, Polo, and Palauea β€” are consistently ranked among Hawaii's finest, offering calm, clear water and a backdrop of molten-red sunsets. The area is home to four championship golf courses, an upscale open-air shopping village, and a remarkable concentration of world-class dining. Makena, just south of Wailea, feels distinctly wilder. Development here is sparse by design, and Big Beach (Oneloa) β€” a broad, half-mile crescent of white sand β€” is one of the most dramatic beaches in all of Hawaii. Just around the point, Little Beach is known for its free-spirited Sunday-afternoon drum circles.

From Kahului Airport the drive to Wailea takes approximately 35–50 minutes. The shuttle heads south on Mokulele Highway before connecting to the Piilani Highway, which runs parallel to the coast. As you pass through Kihei you'll begin to see the cinder-cone silhouettes of Pu'u Ōla'i and the dramatic lava-rock shoreline that marks the beginning of Wailea. Grand Wailea is the furthest north of the major resorts; Four Seasons and Makena Beach & Golf Resort add another 5–10 minutes south.

Traveler Tips

Tips for Traveling to Wailea / Makena

1

If you're checking into the Grand Wailea, Four Seasons, or Fairmont Kea Lani, tip the bellman β€” they handle luggage swiftly and can arrange in-room amenities before you arrive.

2

Wailea Beach Walk is a 1.5-mile public coastal path connecting all the major resort beaches β€” a perfect first-morning stroll before the beach fills up.

3

Makena's Big Beach has no lifeguards and shore-break can be powerful; respect the ocean conditions, especially in winter.
