Luxury travel knows no bounds; discover the ultimate luxury experiences in Hawaii.

Bask on the beaches, swim with dolphins, take it all in over 18 holes, taste local cuisine, or sip cocktails poolside. No matter what your vacation style is, the luxury hotels of Hawaii will welcome you.

These remarkable properties will engulf you in comfort. From your arrival experience to your morning coffee, these luxury accommodations elevate the Hawaiian experience. Curated cuisine, serene pools, contemporary touches, and elements of Aloha beckon the luxury traveler. 

What is Aloha

With ancient roots, Aloha comes from one of the oldest spoken languages in the world. Aloha is a Hawaiian word that can mean love, affection, peace, compassion, and mercy. There is an inherent depth to Aloha for native Hawaiians. Aloha can mean much more for locals as a concept that links the head and the heart. Aloha represents a connection with others, particularly positive feelings for one another.

The Hawaiian Experience

A true luxury vacation means more than high thread counts and incredible villas. With the astonishing culture on the Hawaiian islands, these luxury properties are true to their history through guest experiences. The perfect Hawaiian vacation is made through Hawaii's incredible culture. 

Spend time in Sensei Lana'i's outdoor rainforest shower. Share greetings of Aloha over breakfast. Take in aerial views on a private helicopter tour from Mauna Lani. Hike land once cherished by Hawaiian royalty. Experience sunset rituals, guided hikes, and e-bike tours on Hanalei bay's sustainable getaway.

Mauna Lani, Auberge Resorts Collection

Nestled along the dramatic Kohala Coast and in the piko, or center, of five great mountains, Mauna Lani is a sacred oasis where generations of families and friends have made memories on soulful lands once cherished by the greatest of Hawaiian royalty. Greet the morning sun as it rises above the mountains' peaks from the seat of an outrigger canoe.

Travel Tip: Plan time to relax

While seeing the world is an incredible driver for travel, slowing down in stunning places, like the luxury resorts of Hawaii, is equally essential. Ensure you feel recovered before returning home by adding slow days at the end of your itinerary. Book the massage, spend the day relaxing by the pool, reconnect with your loved ones, and discover the spirit of Aloha before returning home.
