Where to Stay in Hawaii

Luxury Hotels on the Big Island, Kauai, Lanai, Maui and Oahu

The Hawaiian Islands boast some of the most beautiful beaches in the world; so lounging beachside, cocktail in hand is highly recommended. And if the adventure bug strikes, peel yourself off your beach lounger and take in more of the natural beauty of the islands on a drive on the Road to Hana in Maui or plan a hike (Hawaii has some of the most renowned in the world).

Another perk of visiting Hawaii is the weather. It is generally warm, sunny and beautiful all year-round. For the best rates, down times tend to be October through early December (not including the weeks surrounding Thanksgiving and Christmas when hotels get busier).

If you are trying to decide which island to stay on, Oahu is brimming with activities (which also means that it will be busier). Lanai is the best choice for visitors looking to unwind and unplug from the world. Maui and the Big Island are a nice in-between. And if you need an easy-to-follow packing guide, check out our 10-Piece Hawaii Outfit Guide for your trip.
