Within the Hawaiian-island family, Maui is the celebrity sibling: radiantly beautiful, a bit rebellious, and with glamour to spare. The island has attracted âseekersâ for its healing energy since the 1960âs and, more recently, Internet millionaires and Hollywood A-listers who want to rejuvenate in five-star spas.
