Fairmont Orchid, Hawaii

Some of your toughest decisions at Fairmont Orchid, Hawai'i will center around green sea turtles and oceanfront cabanas. What to do first — meet the native sea creatures as they bask on the beach, or indulge in a massage in a thatched-roof hale? Make time for all of it: Visit the pool deck on Friday evenings for stargazing with a local astronomer, paddle the waters in an outrigger canoe, hike through a petroglyph field or simply lounge on a sugary-sand beach. Evenings, listen to local musicians as the sun sets while you dine at the award-winning Brown's Beach House, located steps from the shore and serving locally grown specialties.
