Luxury hotels, hotel suites and fine dining restaurants in Hawaii

Vacations in Hawaii 

 Aloha!–welcome to this tropical archipelago, born of volcanic activity, boasting unique ecology, rare ecosystems and a truly multi-cultural encounter. To travel to Hawaii is to experience the curious familiarity of its American culture along with the strange realization that you are some 2,000 miles from the US mainland, coupled with the strength of its Polynesian heritage and Asian influences. Its beaches and climate are an obvious draw for visitors, but its unique geographic location and status as a cultural melting pot make it a fascinating destination for those looking to explore it all on a deeper level. 

Fiftieth State: luxury hotels in Hawaii 

 Our luxury hotel suites in Hawaii are the perfect base from which to experience the best of what these fascinating islands have to offer. From comfortable and spacious rooms with breezy balconies, you’ll look over lush surroundings and pristine landscaped gardens, with beautiful pools to lounge by, and easy access to the islands’ many beaches. Wherever you choose, you’ll enjoy beautiful views over endless ocean and big skies–blue by day, starry by night. Contemporary décor blends with island influences and sustainably sourced wood and stone materials.  

Taste the terroir in our fine dining restaurants in Hawaii  

 With a treasure trove of unique ingredients, expect mealtimes in Hawaii to be a wonderful mix of flavors and beautifully unpredictable combinations. The ocean larder means fresh fish, seafood and seaweed feature prominently, especially given its Asian influences, while its tropical nature contributes delicate blossoms and fruits, adding color and piquancy. Our gastronomic restaurants in Hawaii offer menus that fuse the various culinary cultures of the islands’ Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Puerto Rican and Portuguese populations alongside its native Polynesian tastes. American classics are also easy to be found. 

 Our 5 star hotels in Hawaii grow as much of their own food as possible, with abundant orchards and gardens yielding bananas, mangos, papayas and avocados, vegetables and herbs, even honey made from our own hives. Everything is organically farmed, and all other ingredients are sourced as locally as possible, ideally on the immediate island you find yourself on, if not the next one over. 

Our best luxury hotels in Hawaii celebrate the ecology of the archipelago 

 Hawaii invites visitors to explore the natural wonders of its unique ecology–here some of the driest parts of the planet rub shoulders with some of the wettest. Our luxury hotels in Hawaii can help you explore it all. Hiking and horse-back riding can take you closer to its natural wonders–from its thundering waterfalls to its cloud-covered mountains. The ocean offers up plenty of activities, from snorkeling and scuba to humpback whale-watching in the winter season. 

 Take a canoe out on your own, or join a crew of a traditional Hawaiian outrigger canoe to find turtles and rare birds–while perfecting Hawaiian chants. Golf courses are never far away, while you can access open-air fitness studios, cooled by the ocean breeze.  

 Those on romantic getaways to Hawaii can hire vintage cars, take a picnic prepared by our chefs, and set off to find a beautiful bay of their own to watch the sunset.  

 If you like the sand and surf, our beach valet service arranges chairs, umbrellas and watersports equipment. If you’re taking it easy and prefer to stay back at our boutique hotels in Hawaii, simply lay back in a shady poolside cabana and recharge the batteries with a cocktail in hand (you can also learn how to make them if you like). Couples massages–one double lomi-lomi coming up!–are also available in the comfort of your own suite. 

Relais & Châteaux in Hawaii preserves and protects the environment 

 As an association, our 580 properties around the world seek to co-exist in harmony with the natural world. Our luxury hotels in Hawaii are no exception: while there are 200 words for rain in the Hawaiian language, the islands are not immune from the challenges of climate change, so active steps are taken to conserve water. Our eco-hotels in Hawaii work with local communities to supply as much as possible–both from a food and drink perspective as well as hotel services and amenities. This approach to responsible travel in Hawaii helps maintain the local economy, cuts down on emissions by reducing imports between islands and overseas, and cultivates good relations with all our suppliers, with whom we’re on first-name terms. 

 Our independently owned properties also pride themselves on the quality of their relationships with guests–from the moment you check in, the warm welcome will be perpetuated with attentive service throughout your stay. Our teams work together like families, and treat guests as extended members too. Above all, we want guests to experience the best of island life here–the l’art de vivre (the art of living) that makes a vacation in Hawaii so rewarding.
