“To me Maui is classic, postcard Hawaii,” says Stapleton. “Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea has gorgeous pools that look out over the water, airy cabanas perfect for lazing the day away in, pink sunsets, and the golden sand on Wailea Beach. As a photographer, it’s particularly fun to shoot as there are palm trees everywhere that frame shots and filter the light in pretty ways, and gorgeous mountains rising up in the background. And the light changes constantly, so you’ll see colors moving through the clouds that make them glowing and majestic.” Visitors can also take in the Maui scenery from the vantage point of the Pacific, with ocean activities like whale watching, stand-up paddleboarding, surfing, and private outrigger canoe tours.
