How to Use This Wailea, Hawaii Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Wailea, Hawaii. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Hawaii or beyond.

Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Wailea.

Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.

Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

Wailea is a locality in Maui County, Hawaii, United States. It has a population of approximately 6,027. The population density is 312.6 people per km². Wailea is located at 20.6824°N, 156.4353°W. It observes the Hawaii Standard Time — no DST (Pacific/Honolulu) timezone. ZIP codes: 96710, 96790.

Wailea stretches across a sun-drenched coastline where the Pacific Ocean meets the warm, volcanic earth. It lies 3.6 miles south-southeast of Kihei, HI (from Kihei, HI: bearing 167°T), and is situated 5.4 miles west-southwest of Keokea. The landscape rises gently toward the imposing silhouette of Haleakala, which anchors the distant horizon in a veil of blue and gray. Visitors often find the light at dusk particularly arresting, as it turns the water into a sheet of liquid copper. Beyond the immediate shore, the terrain features rugged dry scrub that eventually gives way to the lush, greener slopes leading toward the Kula Forest Reserve. The Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary provides a protected sanctuary for the majestic creatures that visit these waters every winter.

Wailea emerged from a landscape once defined by the quiet rhythms of traditional agriculture, evolving from the legacy of sugarcane and pineapple cultivation into a modern center for hospitality. The local economy now thrives on the careful stewardship of its natural beauty, drawing travelers who seek the restorative power of the sea. While the nearby Waipuʻilani Gulch serves as a reminder of the island’s ancient water-carved pathways, modern industry focuses on providing a refined experience for those arriving on the island. The nearby presence of Kauhioaiakini Pond and the small island of Kalaepohaku reflect the deeper, quiet geography that has sustained the island for generations. Commerce here is a delicate balance of growth and the preservation of the land’s original character.

Wailea embodies a cultural spirit deeply rooted in the concept of kuleana, a profound sense of responsibility toward the environment and the community. The air often carries the faint, sweet scent of plumeria, a quiet fragrance that marks the passage of a slow, deliberate day. Cultural life finds expression in the preservation of traditional practices that honor the history of Polynesian voyaging and the distinct character of the islands. While the area is largely defined by its serene atmosphere, it has occasionally hosted world-class professional golf events that bring global attention to its manicured greens. The gentle transition from the morning trade winds to the stillness of the evening defines the local experience, inviting a contemplative pace for both residents and guests.
