This fall, the Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea takes the guesswork out of your trip. By offering curated experiences, the resort immerses you in the culture, nature, and cuisine of the island.

From September 1 through November 22, Four Seasons’ “Getaway” trips on Maui take you deeper into the island’s history and surroundings, while living in bespoke luxury. Here’s what’s included.

The “Getaway” schedule comes packed with activities like Maui Undersea Adventures, outrigger canoe paddling, oceanside yoga, and more.

The former takes place at the newly reopened Ferraro’s Restaurant & Bar, with Champagne Laurent-Perrier on offer. The latter happens at DUO Steak and Seafood, with Darioush offering several vintage bottles.

Four Seasons Resort Maui General Manager Ben Shank commented: “We look forward to welcoming guests to experience all the extras we have planned this fall. The team has put together a thoughtful calendar that offers something for everyone.” 

He continued, “Whether you’re seeking a deeper connection to the culture, culinary or wine experiences, or a light-hearted game of pickleball, our Getaway experiences provide opportunities for our guests to create lifelong memories, all with the backdrop of world-class Wailea Beach.”

Additional “Getaway” experiences include the following:

Venice introduces rules to preserve city
Canals in Burano, Venice, Italy

Yesterday, in a move to preserve its cultural heritage and give locals peace, Venice introduced limits on tourist group size. The new rule restricts groups to 25 people and bans guides from using loudspeakers, reducing the effects of mass tourism. Here’s what you need to know.
New Venice tourism rules: Smaller groups, quieter streets
The new rules seek to balance the positive economics of tourism with protecting the city and locals’ quality of life.

The regulations arrive as overtourism is a hot topic across the globe, with protests in Alaska and Spain.
