Hawaii
Maui offers
a variety of sights and experiences. The quaint old towns of Lahaina
and Wailuku are fun for exploring, shopping, and dining. The views from
atop 10,000-foot Mt. Haleakala (especially popular at sunrise and
sunset) are well worth the winding drive past fields of protea and other
exotic flowers. The long, winding road to the village of Hana is lined
with waterfalls and lush tropical foliage. During the winter months, the
waters surrounding Maui are ideal for whale-watching.
Overlooking the gentle waters of Wailea Beach, luxurious Four Seasons Resort Maui,
with its ever-attentive hotel staff and the largest luxury resort guest
rooms and suites on the island, epitomises a classical Hawaiian palace
resort. A stroll through fragrant plumeria trees and art-laden public
areas reveals a study in relaxed elegance. Four Seasons Resort Maui hugs
the sun-soaked Wailea Beach of Hawaii’s second largest island. In the
distance, lush valleys carved into mountains reveal the inspiration for
Maui’s nickname: Valley Isle.
Kauai,
the most tropical of all the islands, is quiet and tranquil. The
island's scenic beauty, which includes waterfalls, sea cliffs, arid
canyons and scores of beautiful white sand beaches, has served as the
backdrop for many cinematic films. Waimea Canyon, "the Grand Canyon of
the Pacific," is a must-see. Helicopter tours are popular, as the
spectacular sea cliffs of the Na Pali coast and the crater of Mt.
Waialeale (one of the wettest spots on earth), are not accessible by
road. If you're looking for natural beauty and adventure, Kauai's the
place to find it.
An extraordinary experience awaits you at Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort and Spa.
You’ll discover the true spirit of grand Hawaiian hospitality at every
turn in this luxury beach resort. Relax in elegantly designed guestrooms
offering stunning ocean, garden or pool views from a private lanai.
Delight in the pampering services of our world-class spa, or challenge
yourself on our championship golf course. Choose from extensive dining
options, including poolside casual and an outstanding authentic Grand
Hyatt Kauai Luau.
Larger than all of the other islands combined, Hawaii
is known locally as the Big Island. Kilauea, the world's most active
volcano, has been in a state of activity since 1983, and its fiery
creation of hot, new land is often spectacular. The rich fertile soil
left by Pele, the Hawaiian goddess of fire, produces orchids, coffee and
macadamia nuts. There are black sand and white sand beaches, gorgeous
waterfalls and hidden valleys. From the Ka'u desert to the Ola'a rain
forest to the snow-capped peaks of Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa, the Big
Island is a splendor of ecological diversity. The majority of hotels and
resorts are on the drier and hotter west side, where Kailua-Kona is the
main town. The east side, where Hilo is the population center, is very
lush and tropical.
Housed in intimate two-storey bungalows, Four Seasons Resort Hualālai
at Historic Ka‘ūpūlehu's 243 guest rooms and suites exude a nostalgic
sense of Hawaii’s Golden Age. A peerless collection of native Hawaiian
art complements expansive, open-air living spaces and Island-inspired
décor. Set on Hawaii Island’s exclusive Kona-Kohala Coast, this
showpiece oceanfront resort captures the essence of Hawaiian design,
culture and tradition.
