From luxury high-rise hotels near the best surfing spots to lush hideaways in Maui; discover the best Hawaii hotels with Kuoni
Hawaii holidays have been capturing the hearts of travellers for years. Head to the capital, Honolulu, on the island of Oahu, for a slice of timeless Hawaiian charm that can only be found in iconic Waikiki Beach resorts like The Royal Hawaiian, A Luxury Collection Resort (aka the Pink Palace of the Pacific); and luxury high-rise hotels like Turtle Bay on North Shore, a top spot to stay if you want to learn to surf the big waves. Perhaps you want something cool and quirky like Queen Kapiolani Hotel, with white-washed walls and décor that reflects the island’s surfing heritage. Or a beautifully quiet and serene boutique hideaway like The Plantation Inn in Maui. Hawaii’s oldest island, Kauai, is an extraordinary escape for honeymooners and couples with its enchanting mix of beautiful beaches, lush scenery and incredible hotels, including Ko'a Kea Hotel & Resort with its laid-back and unpretentious atmosphere. A choice of modern hotels can be found on Hawaii Island.
