Guests will enjoy iconic Nobu dishes like black cod with muso and yellowtail jalapeno, alongside the acclaimed sushi synonymous with Nobu.

“We are deeply excited to bring the Nobu signature dishes and dining experience that guests have come to cherish to Wailea Bay,” said Chef Nobu Matsuhisa. “The opportunity to share the classic dinner, alongside a curation of menu items exclusive to Grand Wailea, is a source of pride for us and allows us to expand the brand’s footprint within Hawaii with an aligned hotel partner.”

Nobu at Grand Wailea will join the resort’s newest opening, Olivine, which debuted June 2023. Olivine serves handmade pastas and seasonal dishes infusing local Hawaiian ingredients with authentic Italian flavors. Nobu at Grand Wailea will neighbor the resort’s signature restaurant, Humuhumunukunukuāpuaʻa, relaunched in 2023 and offering an award-winning and locally inspired, seafood-focused menu.

Williamsburg Inn Review

You don’t have to love brass chandeliers or brocade to appreciate what Williamsburg Inn does best: delivering a polished, unpretentious stay amid America’s most iconic living history museum. This is where you check in for traditional luxury without feeling like you’re trapped in a time capsule. The Queen stayed here (twice), and so did Eisenhower, but you’re not here to make history. You’re here to enjoy it, on your own terms.

Myths and origin stories form a powerful framework for the history of Hawai‘i. Marking the horizon behind Honolulu, the ancient volcanic formation of Lē‘ahi — technically a volcanic tuff cone more commonly known to the world as Diamond Head — provides a constant physical reminder of the tales that shaped the history of this location. While researching legends for my Hawai‘i-based Dark Paradise Mysteries series (Kensington Books), I learned the tale of the demigod Maui, who used his enchanted fishing hook to reach into the sea to heave the Hawaiian islands, including Diamond Head, above the surface of the water.
