Following on the heels of Earth Day, The Westin Maui Resort & Spa today announced a new program, allowing guests to participate in thoughtfully-designed ocean adventures with paddle boarders, boat captains, canoe racers, and others who want to share their respect for the water and passion for the environment with travelers, while giving back to the local community.<\/p>\n
These watermen and women will also lead guests to learn about the national marine sanctuary fronting Ka’anapali Beach and the importance of “malama aina” (“protecting the land”) through the beach clean-up activity as the sun rises above the majestic Mauna Kahalawai (West Maui Mountains).<\/p>\n
“Surrounded by water and in the incredible setting of the largest area of the Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary, we are most excited to share this new endeavor,” said\u00a0Thomas Foti<\/span>, General Manager, The Westin Maui Resort & Spa. \u00a0“We are delighted to provide a unique, meaningful and mindful travel experience that we hope stays with guests when they return home and continues the\u00a0malama aina\u00a0spirit that is so important in\u00a0Hawaii<\/span>.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The Westin Maui Waterman program will be introduced in three levels \u2013 Novice Enthusiast, Advanced Adventure and Personal Perfection. \u00a0Guests can participate in the monthly Novice Enthusiast activity that includes a beach clean-up and conversation, beginning on the ocean lawn of the resort the first Friday of the month at\u00a07:00 AM<\/span>.<\/p>\n
The brand’s nourishing Westin SuperFoodsRx and signature\u00a0Westin Fresh<\/span>\u00a0by the Juicery refreshments will be served during the two-hour session. \u00a0For those keen to continue their journey to the Advanced Adventure level of the program, the resort has partnered the on-site Ka’anapali Surf Club to present a new standup paddleboard course just over a mile long from North Ka’anapali Beach that lands guests beachfront of The Westin Maui Resort & Spa.<\/p>\n

The Westin Maui Resort & Spa is also developing a variety of partnerships to expand the experience for guests. “Through partnerships with like-minded organizations such as\u00a0West Maui<\/span>\u00a0Ridge2Reef Initiative and\u00a0Coral Reef Alliance<\/span>, we believe that we will make an impactful difference in preserving the Hawaiian culture and our environment by working closely together and enrichening the community we live in,” said Foti.<\/p>\n
With a powerful penchant to give back, the Westin brand continues to grow and evolve its programs and partnerships globally, addressing how wellness is integrated into consumers’ lives through the brand’s Six Pillars of Well-Being:\u00a0Sleep Well, Eat Well, Move Well, Feel Well, Work Well, and Play Well.<\/i><\/p>\n

“Increasingly, travelers are looking for chances to give back to the communities they visit as a meaningful way to experience a destination,” said\u00a0Chris Heuisler<\/span>, Global Run Concierge, Westin Hotels & Resorts. “In fact, 75% of people surveyed globally said that giving back is an important part to their sense of well-being; and even more \u2013 80% of global respondents intend to give back or volunteer while traveling in the next 12 months.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Most recently, Westin introduced an unprecedented sustainability program that collects, processes and reweaves hotel bed linens transforming them into children’s pajamas \u2013 called\u00a0Project Rise: ThreadForward.<\/i>\u00a0Beginning last month, the brand has begun distributing the first-of-its-kind pajamas to children in need, whose circumstances can contribute to shortened and more fragmented sleep.<\/p>\n
The pajamas are now also available to purchase at\u00a0westinstore.com<\/a>, with a portion of proceeds going back to Delivering Good and continuing to support the efforts to give every child the opportunity to Sleep Well.<\/p>\n
