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 Lēʻahi (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. |  |
