Sporting Life on Maui

Hawai‘i has the happiest, healthiest residents in the nation. So says a 2015 survey by Gallup Healthways. You don’t need a local zip code to take part in our active lifestyle. Here are some of the many ways Maui resorts can help you keep your energy — and FitBit — buzzing all day long.

This year, Andaz Maui at Wailea Resort began offering its guests a mode of transportation that’s turning heads: the Schiller Water Bike. This hybrid vehicle combines bicycle engineering and nautical design that lets riders glide across the ocean. Guests can hop on the saddle during daily water-bike spinning classes, or explore solo with a rental. Maui.Andaz.Hyatt.com

Wailea Golf Club has long attracted golfers to its rolling green fairways, ocean panoramas, and myriad amenities. Through December 18, 2016, players can score a deal with the Wailea Seahorse Swing: three days’ unlimited golf on the Emerald and Gold courses, discounts on club rentals, food and merchandise, for $465 per person. Take advantage of the promotion, and you might even run into Maui’s own “Flyin’ Hawaiian,” major-league baseball standout Shane Victorino, who returns for his annual, eponymous benefit tournament November 19, 2016.
