Nobu Grand Wailea

Oceanfront Sophistication on the Maui Coast

Situated within the sprawling, lush grounds of the Grand Wailea resort, this high-end destination brings Chef Nobu Matsuhisa’s world-renowned vision of Japanese-Peruvian fusion to the shores of South Maui. The space commands attention with its vaulted ceilings and an airy, open-concept layout that invites the Pacific breeze inside, making it a prime spot for those looking to celebrate a special occasion while watching the sunset over the horizon.

Signature Flavors by the Pacific

The menu is anchored by Nobu classics that have achieved global acclaim. Diners frequently gravitate toward the black cod miso, a dish that balances delicate, buttery sweetness with a caramelized exterior. The yellowtail jalapeño is another staple, offering a crisp, clean heat that cuts through the richness of the fresh sashimi. For those venturing further, the kitchen showcases local Hawaiian seafood, elevating regional catches with precise, traditional Japanese techniques.

The Wailea Dining Experience

Expect a refined, polished atmosphere that caters to resort guests and locals celebrating milestone evenings. The sound of clinking sake carafes and the rhythmic chopping behind the sushi bar provide a steady hum of activity. While the service is attentive and professional, the expansive dining room can occasionally echo during peak dinner hours, creating a lively, buzzing environment rather than a hushed, intimate setting.

Parking can be a bit of a trek through the resort complex, so plan for a short walk through the property's beautifully manicured gardens to reach the entrance. Whether you are seated at the sleek sushi counter or at a table overlooking the coastal palm trees, the experience centers on high-quality ingredients executed with global consistency, right here in the heart of the Kihei-Wailea corridor.
