Maui's Queen's Garden Opens a New Window on Hawaiian History

Four Seasons Maui has introduced The Queen's Garden: Uluhaimalama, a cultural experience honouring Queen Liliʻuokalani and shaped by Hawaiian practitioners.

A new garden at Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea brings the story of Queen Liliʻuokalani into the heart of a contemporary resort. Developed with Hawaiian cultural practitioners, The Queen's Garden: Uluhaimalama invites visitors to encounter the life and legacy of Hawaiʻi's last reigning monarch through a space designed for learning and reflection.

Six places to encounter a history

The garden includes six educational stations, each presenting a different perspective on the Queen's life, her legacy and the land. The project has been informed by Hawaiian voices, an essential distinction for a cultural installation within a hotel.

The site is open to a wider community

Four Seasons describes the garden as an experience for guests, visitors and Maui's community, not only a private facility for paying residents. That broader invitation gives the project a public cultural role alongside its place within the resort.

A more meaningful shore visit

For travellers enjoying Maui's beaches and water, the garden offers a way to engage with local heritage before setting out on further excursions. It also shows how a resort can give some of its most visible space to an account of the place where it operates.
