Luxury Hawaii holidays

As its nickname ‘the Garden Island’ would suggest, the pristine beaches on Kauaʻi’s North Shore are backed by verdant landforms, from valleys to rugged cliffs, producing the most picturesque diorama in Hawaii. A helicopter flight over the Napali Coast is great for unparalleled panoramic views, and a boat ride shows the waterfalls cascading into the sea from a different perspective. 

The most populated of the islands – and the unofficial home of the humble pineapple – Oahu is the vibrant gathering place. North Shore is where the surfers look to hang ten, Ko Olina is its own community with shopping and golf on its doorstep, and alongside the nightlife of Waikiki is the Pearl Harbour National Memorial. 

The largest yet youngest, Big Island offers a vast contrast to its siblings. Most like otherworldly desert than rainforest, lava rocks flank the roadsides and the heat of the volcanoes can be felt under foot on the black sand beaches. Playing astronaut comes easy in these infernal lunar landscapes home to one of the world’s largest active volcanoes. 

Maui is all about the experiences; ride The Road to Hana, known as one of the world’s most scenic drives; watch the sunrise at Haleakala National Park from the top of the crater (that’s one for the photographers and romantics); and fly over the cliffs of Molokini, there’s a significant chance that a full circle rainbow might appear. 

Lana’i could be described as the island that time forgot. The smallest inhabited island, it remains untouched by the clamour of everyday life. Outdoor adventures are the thing to do here, with Keahiakawelo or ‘The Fire of Kawelo’ an otherworldly landscape to visit when you’re not strolling down any of the islands 18-miles of seclude beaches, or wandering the ruins of prehistoric Kaunolū Village.
