Inside Mindy Kaling’s lavish Hawaiian getaway with $900-a-night rooms, moon cycle treatments and more
Say aloha to this beautiful vacation spot.
Mindy Kaling escaped to paradise at the ultra-luxurious, oceanfront Grand Wailea resort in Maui, Hawaii.
“Such a treat to visit Hawaii with my family for an end of summer trip,” the “Mindy Project” star, 45, wrote in an Instagram post Thursday of the Waldorf Astoria getaway. “Here is a place I can wear my bright florals and wear tiny shell jewelry, which is compatible with my soul.”
She added, “Love you Maui, catch you on the flippy flip.”
While it’s unclear if Kaling opted for one of the resort’s luxurious suites or villas, we’re told a standard room costs $900 per night and prices go up from there depending on the accommodations.
The most upscale suites can be found in the resort’s Napua tower, which we’re told offers the most privacy and security for guests. The tower has a private lounge and boasts an extensive collection of modern and post-modern art throughout.
Guests staying in the exclusive outpost are treated to a private concierge service and daily programming like chef’s stations, beverage tastings, and live entertainment.
Kaling shared several photos of her time on the island property where she was joined by her three kids and enjoyed relaxing activities like hanging by the property’s pool.
She also posted a photo of herself hitting the updated open-air Kilolani Spa for some R&R.
The spa, which recently underwent a $55 million renovation, offers signature treatments inspired by the moon cycle including a Lomilomi massage, which is described as a generations-old Hawaiian healing art form.
Kaling appeared zen as she posed in a cozy robe on a plush couch after enjoying all the spa amenities, which include hydrotherapy gardens, steam rooms, infrared halotherapy saunas, waterfall showers, and scrub stations, according to the Kilolani spa’s website.
The 50,000-square-foot wellness center is largest spa in the state of Hawaii and encompasses 40 treatment rooms, including couples’ treatment suites, a meditation lounge, a reflection lounge, and a hammam.
We also hear the “Office” alum dined with her family at the renowned on-site restaurant, Humuhumunukunukuapua’a, and rated the meal “10/10” via her Instagram stories.
The establishment serves up fresh, sustainably sourced seafood and features breathtaking views of the lagoon as well as a glass aquarium bar filled with an assortment of colorful swimming fish.
Kaling was seen enjoying a cool beverage while overlooking a beautiful palm tree-speckled view from her balcony in one of the photos she shared on social media.
She also posted a photo of herself holding a soda while soaking up some sunlight by the pool, which is equipped with ample lounge chairs and cabanas. The hotel offers adult-only and kid-friendly swimming pools to cater to each guest’s preferences.
“We’re so glad to hear you and your family enjoyed Maui, @mindykaling!” the resort commented on her post, adding, “It was a pleasure having you at the Grand Wailea—Mahalo!”
Kaling’s vacation came shortly after she spoke at the 2024 Democratic National Convention in Chicago last month. She described the experience as “an honor (and a terror!)” on Instagram at the time.
