Maui Strong! As travellers look to support Maui’s recovery efforts this fall, Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea invites guests to come back, and in turn, give back to the island through thoughtfully curated offers and programming that celebrate and support community, culture, and conservation.
The recent Maui wildfire is Hawaii’s most severe natural disaster ever. Hawaii Community Foundation created the Maui Strong Fund to provide financial resources that can be deployed quickly, with a focus on rapid response and recovery. In turn, the Resort has developed a Maui Strong offer, in which guests can dedicate a portion of their Resort stay directly back to where it is needed most in the community. Upon selecting this option, guests will contribute up to USD 200 for each night of their stay. Every cent of the donation is directed toward the Maui Strong Fund. The Maui Strong offer is available for reservations now through December 15, 2023.
“The outpouring of concern and generous support from our guests around the globe who feel a profound connection to our island community has been overwhelming and deeply appreciated,” says Four Seasons Resort Maui General Manager, Ben Shank. “As we move forward, Maui finds itself managing a double crisis – the devastating tragedy on the West Side and now, the resulting impact on the entire island’s economy. While we grieve for our ‘ohana in Lāhainā and remain dedicated to supporting all those directly affected by the wildfires, we also acknowledge the urgent need to welcome back visitors to all other parts of the island, which are still open and beautiful.”
Situated on the south side of Maui on the Wailea Coast, the Resort’s new slate of guest experiences is designed to celebrate and support the local community and economy, and to help speed the recovery of those who have already suffered so much.’’
Beginning Oct. 1, 2023, Four Seasons Resort Maui presents Love for Lāhainā, a series of culinary pop-up events developed to support the hospitality industry and farmers across the island who have been directly impacted by the recent wildfires on the island’s west side. Popping up every Sunday in October, diners will enjoy signature dishes from celebrated Lāhainā restaurants and beloved chefs, as they simultaneously give back directly to those who have lost their jobs and homes.
The October Love for Lāhainā series includes:
- October 1, 2023: Papa’aina by Chef Lee Anne Wong
- October 8, 2023: Māla Ocean Tavern by Chef Kalei Ducheneau
- October 15, 2023: Canoe Plant Dinner by Chef Samual Taganeca
- October 22, 2023: Fleetwood’s on Front St. by Chef Eric Morrisette
Fall programming at Four Seasons Resort Maui features a variety of complimentary activities from hands-on environmental experiences to workshops led by some of the island’s most notable artists, and much more. The fall schedule, available from Oct. 1 to Dec. 15, 2023, is offered in addition to the Resort’s robust calendar of cultural, culinary, and wellness activities, including the Resort’s “Live Aloha” program, designed by Director of Hawaiian Programs Aunty Wendy Tuivaioge, to connect guests authentically to the Hawaiian culture.
