A holiday in Hawaii is a travel experience unlike any other, with the Hawaii islands offering a unique combination of volcanic landscapes, tropical rainforests, golden beaches and a deeply rooted island culture which is centred on respect for the natural habitat and for the sanctity of family.

At Elegant Resorts, we understand that every traveller has their own vision of the perfect holiday. That is why we specialise in creating tailor made Hawaii holidays that are individually designed around your interests, preferences and travel aspirations.

Although Hawaii is the 50th state of the United States, it possesses its own very distinctive personality. Its rich cultural heritage has been shaped over centuries by ancient Polynesian settlers, Asian communities, European explorers and American influences, creating a fascinating blend of traditions unlike anywhere else on the planet. Visitors are welcomed with genuine warmth and openness, often referred to as the "Aloha Spirit", a philosophy centred around kindness, respect and exceptional hospitality which remains deeply entrenched in Hawaiian life. From traditional music and enchanting hula performances to colourful festivals and authentic island cuisine, every aspect of Hawaiian culture invites visitors to slow down, embrace the relaxed pace of island life and experience something truly remarkable.
One of the greatest advantages of choosing tailor made holidays in Hawaii with Elegant Resorts is the opportunity to explore several islands all during a single trip. Each island offers its own unique landscapes, attractions and atmosphere, allowing tourists to enjoy an incredibly diverse holiday while remaining within one spectacular archipelago.
Oahu is often considered the best island to visit for your first holiday in Hawaii. Home to the vibrant city of Honolulu and the world famous Waikiki Beach, it combines cosmopolitan energy with breathtaking coastal scenery. Here, luxury shopping, award-winning restaurants and vibrant nightlife sit comfortably alongside historic landmarks such as Pearl Harbor and the iconic Diamond Head volcanic crater. Waikiki itself remains one of the world's most famous beaches, where gentle waves provide the ideal setting for surfing or swimming, while luxury beachfront Hawaii hotels offer unrivalled views across the Pacific Ocean.
Maui has long been regarded as one of the most romantic islands in the region, making it a favourite for couples holidays in Hawaii and honeymooners. Spectacular beaches, dramatic coastlines and lush tropical valleys provide an unforgettable backdrop for luxurious escapes. Visitors can drive the legendary Road to Hana, discovering breathtaking waterfalls, rainforest trails and secluded beaches along one of the world's most scenic coastal driving routes. Watching the sunrise from the summit of Haleakala National Park is another experience not to be missed, while whale watching during the winter months offers the opportunity to witness majestic humpback whales breaching just offshore.
The Island of Hawaii, more commonly known as the Big Island, showcases the raw power of nature like nowhere else in the archipelago. Home to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, visitors can witness active volcanic landscapes that continue to shape the island to this day. Vast lava fields, dramatic craters and steaming volcanic vents create an almost other worldly environment, while black sand beaches and lush coffee plantations demonstrate the island's incredible diversity. For adventurous travellers, few experiences compare with exploring ancient lava tubes or witnessing molten lava flowing towards the ocean when volcanic activity permits.
Lanai meanwhile offers an altogether more exclusive and tranquil Hawaii holiday experience. Once known primarily for its pineapple plantations, the island has evolved into one of Hawaii's most luxurious retreats. Quiet beaches, rugged landscapes and world-class holiday resorts make Lanai perfect for travellers seeking complete privacy and relaxation away from the larger tourist centres. Luxury golf courses, exceptional spas & wellness centres and personalised hospitality services ensure that every moment feels as indulgent as you would expect any Hawaii holiday with Elegant Resorts to be.
Kauai, often referred to as the Garden Isle, captivates holiday makers with its emerald mountains, cascading waterfalls and untouched natural beauty. The spectacular Na Pali Coast, accessible by boat, helicopter or via challenging walking trails, is widely considered one of the most breathtaking coastal landscapes on the planet. Waimea Canyon, frequently described as the "Grand Canyon of the Pacific", provides dramatic panoramic views that showcase Hawaii's extraordinary geological diversity.
The natural beauty found throughout Hawaii creates endless opportunities for outdoor adventure. Whether you're a regular thrill seeker or simply looking to enjoy nature at a gentler pace, there is something to suit every type of traveller. Hiking through tropical rainforests, cycling across volcanic landscapes, horse riding beneath towering cliffs or kayaking along pristine Pacific coastlines all provide unique ways to experience the islands.
The warm Pacific Ocean offers exceptional snorkelling and scuba diving, where colourful coral reefs teem with tropical fish, graceful sea turtles, manta rays and spinner dolphins. Seasonal whale watching excursions allow visitors to observe humpback whales during their annual migration, while experienced surfers continue to challenge themselves on the legendary waves that have made Hawaii the regular birthplace of modern surfing.
Of course, many visitors choose to book a holiday in Hawaii primarily to relax. Miles of pristine beaches offer everything from secluded coves to lively stretches of golden sand, while calm turquoise waters invite leisurely swims beneath year-round sunshine. Whether enjoying a private cabana beside an infinity pool, unwinding with a traditional Hawaiian spa treatment or watching spectacular sunsets from your private balcony, a holiday in Hawaii provides countless opportunities to completely switch off and embrace island life.
Dining is another unforgettable part of any Hawaiian holiday. The islands' multicultural heritage has created a vibrant culinary scene where fresh local ingredients meet influences from Japan, China, Korea and the American mainland. Fresh seafood, tropical fruits, locally grown coffee and traditional Hawaiian specialities combine with innovative fine dining to create exceptional gastronomic experiences. Many of the best restaurants in Hawaii occupy spectacular seafront settings, allowing guests to enjoy breathtaking sunsets while sampling world-class cuisine.
