Hawaiʻi’s Most Elevated Resort Experiences Right Now

Hawaiʻi has always delivered on natural beauty, but the islands’ resort landscape is setting a new standard for elevated, immersive experiences that go well beyond the room. For clients who appreciate the details that make a trip unforgettable, the islands are ready to deliver.

On Kaua'i, 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay sets a standard of its own. Perched above the North Shore with sweeping views of Hanalei Bay and the Nāpali Coast, the Michelin Key-recognized property blends sustainable luxury with transformative wellness — and its culinary program is entering an exciting new chapter. The resort recently welcomed Chef Pete Ghione as Culinary Director, bringing a philosophy rooted in wellness, whole ingredients, and community-centered dining that aligns seamlessly with the property’s vision for conscious living. For clients who want beauty, intention, and exceptional service all in one place, this is the recommendation to lead with.

On Oʻahu, Halekulani remains the benchmark for refined Honolulu hospitality, consistently rewarding guests who seek something beyond the expected through its Art of Wellbeing programming — including immersive residencies blending movement, meditation, and art. For clients celebrating a special occasion, the Kaimana Beach Hotel offers Kaimana by Morning, an experience pairing sunrise views over ʻahi (Diamond Head State Monument) with an oceanfront table for two beneath the hotel’s iconic hau tree.

On Maui, Wailea Beach Resort has unveiled a full property-wide transformation highlighted by all-new Oceanfront Villas and a Private Chef Villa Dining Experience. A custom five-course menu served on a private oceanfront lānai with personalized service throughout is a fitting way for clients to mark a milestone. The resort has also introduced Olakino, an adults-only wellness pool featuring an infinity-edge saline pool, in-water chaises, mini spa treatments, and a daily sabering ritual — a strong selling point for clients seeking restorative travel.

On the Island of Hawaiʻi, Kona Village, A Rosewood Resort has debuted a retreat designed for guests traveling with their dogs, in partnership with BARK Air — with private charter flights from Los Angeles, four nights in an oceanfront hale (house), and tailored canine amenities that exist nowhere else in the islands. For clients who travel with their pets and refuse to compromise, this is a genuinely singular offering.

Across every island, Hawaiʻi’s luxury resort landscape is evolving in ways that give even the most well-traveled clients something worth returning for — and something worth booking now.

What's New

A New Way to Visit Oahu's North Shore

North Shore Huakaʻi is a new community-driven shuttle on O‘ahu, offering daily roundtrip service from Waikīkī and Ko Olina to the North Shore for just $5. Launched on 29 June, the 90-day pilot was developed by the Hawaiian Council in partnership with the Hawai‘i Visitors and Convention Bureau, E Noa Tours, and the Hawaiʻi Tourism Authority in direct response to the economic impact of the March 2026 kona low storms on North Shore communities. Riders enjoy approximately six hours on the North Shore, including a stop at the historic Waialua Sugar Mill district and up to 2.5 hours in Haleʻiwa, with onboard cultural narration from respected Hawaiian practitioners. Each participant receives a North Shore Passport to guide spending at local restaurants, shops, galleries, and coffee shops. Service concludes on 26 September. Book online at NorthShoreHuakai.com
