Star Rating User Rating Escape to the tropical splendor of the Diamond Hawaii Resort and Spa As Hawaiis uniquely Japanese-themed all suite resort, Diamond Hawaii Resort and Spa is among the most unique hotel in the state and yet it is surprisingly affordable. Perched 300 feet above the beautiful Wailea coastline, nearly all of Diamond Hawaii Resort's 72 luxury suites offer inspiring views of Kaho'olawe, Lana'i and Molokini islet . At the same time, the resort is far enough away from the daily hustle and bustle of central Wailea to give her guests a sense of ultimate privacy and peace. Once a private retreat for affluent Japanese visitors, today Diamond Hawaii Resort specializes in presenting an authentic Japanese experience for its guests. From dining in their fine restaurants, to relaxing in the traditional Japanese spa baths, and walking among the richly landscaped gardens, waterfalls, and pools filled with Koi, you will find Diamond Resort a relaxing haven in which to unwind.Diamond Hawaii Resort and Spa is a place where the best of the East meets the best of the West. Diamond Hawaii Resort is home to three exceptional restaurants as well as an open air spa. The Diamond Spa puts the Ahhh in the word spa. Few cultures have elevated bathing to such heights and the Japanese believe that furo or spa bathing restores the spirit as well as the body. Complimentary use of the spa is included with your room. After bathing, enjoy one of the many types of massages or facials. There are five championship 18-hole golf courses and 11 tennis courts next door too.
