Luxury, mindfulness, and nearly free travel — yes please.

Amazing pink sunset at Hyatt Regency Maui

We absolutely loved our time at the Hyatt Regency Maui, and it’s a place we would return to again and again. This resort strikes that rare balance between luxury, wellness, and sustainability — all while being genuinely fun for every age.

Sustainability that actually matters

One of the first things that stood out was how intentional the property is about caring for the planet:

• LEED Certified ♻️

• Water refill stations throughout the resort (no plastic bottles!)

• Motion-sensor lighting to reduce energy use

• Option to skip daily housekeeping (because really, who needs fresh towels every day?) — plus you’re rewarded with a Mai Tai credit 🍹


It’s refreshing to stay somewhere that makes sustainable choices feel easy and thoughtful, not performative.

🌴 Wellness & nature vibes


This is Maui at its finest — where slowing down happens naturally:

• Morning oceanfront yoga 🧘🏽‍♀️

• Snorkeling right out front with frequent turtle sightings 🐢

• On-site shave ice made without artificial junk 🍧

• Fresh herbs and produce grown right on property 🌿

Every day felt grounded, nourishing, and deeply connected to the land.

🐧 Fun for all ages

Whether you’re traveling as a couple or with kids, this resort truly has something for everyone:

• Penguins, swans, macaws, and other wildlife — a total hit with families

• Water slides and a beautiful, swimmable beach

• Local Hawaiian reggae music playing poolside all day, setting the perfect island vibe

The energy here is joyful, relaxed, and unmistakably Maui.

Luxury with mindfulness

What we loved most is how the Hyatt Regency Maui delivers high-end comfort without losing soul. It feels abundant yet intentional — a true paradise that respects the island and invites you to do the same.

The best part…We paid next to nothing 😏

This trip would have cost us $6,700 out of pocket for flights and accommodations… but instead:

• We used ~230,000 Chase Ultimate Rewards points

• Paid $5.60 per person in taxes for our Southwest flights ✈️

• Upgraded to club access, which included:

Daily breakfast- Snacks throughout the day- Light dinners / pupus when we didn’t feel like going out

• Rented a car for just $350 for the entire week

Overall… We scored huge.
