Winnie's Last Dance
Five days of oceanfront serenity, sunset sails, and the kind of relaxation Winnie actually wants — no rushing, no regrets
Private Luxury Villa with Pool & Hot Tub
This is Winnie's HQ for five days — a private oceanfront villa with an infinity pool overlooking the Pacific, a heated hot tub carved into the lanai, a chef's kitchen for morning coffee rituals, and enough space for 10 to spread out without stepping on each other. Wailea is the luxury corridor of Maui; you're 10 minutes from fine dining, 5 minutes from the beach, and the villa itself IS the main event. Pricing is estimated based on luxury Maui villa market rates for May (shoulder season).
$8,750 total ($1,750 per person split 5 ways)per nightThe crew lands. Private shuttle service picks up all 10 and drives 30 minutes to Wailea. No stress, no coordinating — everyone's on the same van.
Tip: Have the shuttle driver stop at a local market (Safeway in Wailea) for 15 minutes so the crew can grab snacks, sunscreen, and electrolytes for the house.
Check into the oceanfront villa. Rooms are assigned, luggage is unpacked, and everyone hits the infinity pool overlooking the Pacific. This is the decompression moment — Winnie's already in her element.
Tip: Stock the fridge with champagne splits, sparkling water, and fresh fruit before the crew arrives.
Morning flow on the sand as the ocean shifts from indigo to turquoise. Winnie leads the crew through a grounding 90-minute session — perfect arrival-day reset for an adventurer and wind-down.

Private chef prepares a light farm-to-table spread — fresh poke bowls, grilled fish, local greens, and tropical fruit. Everyone eats on the lanai as the sun sets over the ocean. No rushing, no reservations, just the crew and Maui.
Tip: Ask the chef to prep a signature cocktail pitcher (passion fruit mai tai or local rum punch) so the crew can sip while eating.

Tip: Book the early tour (11:30 AM departure) to avoid crowds. Bring reef-safe sunscreen and a rash guard; the sun reflects off the water.
Back at HQ by 3:30 PM. The crew showers off the salt, naps, and floats in the pool. This is the recovery block — no agenda, no decisions. Winnie's wind-down side gets to just exist.
Tip: Have the villa stock fresh towels, cold water, and electrolyte drinks for post-snorkel recovery.
Showers, outfits, hair, makeup — the crew gets ready for the luau. Dress code: flowy, tropical, comfortable. Think linen and sandals, not heels.

Tip: Book all 10 appointments back-to-back starting at 11:00 AM. The spa will have a relaxation lounge with cucumber water and herbal tea between treatments.
