The best views in Hawaii

These views will make you want to visit Hawaii, immediately.

Spoiler – Hawaii is one of the best destinations out there. If you’ve been you’ll know why, and if you haven’t – you’re about to find out.

Hop from island to island or just settle on one and snorkel with some turtles, swim in the crystal clear water or shop up a storm (Hawaii is part of America, after all) – but find somewhere to stay first.

Hawaii is filled with the creme de la creme of hotels and resorts, but the some of the first on the islands belong to the Starwood group – which now comprise of 12 hotels and resorts dotted on the four main islands of Hawaii.

And Hawaii’s white sand beaches are only made better when you can see them – or walk to them – from your accomodation.

But after you see the photos from these hotels – you’re bound to have a whole lotta’ trouble picking just which one to stay in.

Moana Surfrider

Located in the heart of Waikiki Beach opposite the ocean, the Moana Surfrider, a Westin Resort & Spa, has everything you need for the perfect Hawaiian getaway. Picture spending  a day on the pristine private beach before heading to the oceanfront Moana Lani Spa for a little TLC.

Sheraton Waikiki 

The pool at this hotel was recently one of the best around by USA Today readers – and they’re not wrong. Even if you aren’t staying there you can still book an intimate party in one of the waterfront cabanas – which fill up quickly, by the way.

The Royal Hawaiian

Also know as the pink palace (for good reason) passers-by this hotel are often stopping for photos – but it’s even better if you stay the night. It also has it’s own bakery – filled with a ton of artisan Hawaiian goods like the resorts famous banana bread and Pink Palace croissant braids.

This beautiful secluded resort has a lawn perfect for weddings – and has beautiful suites to match. They also offer a range of complimentary activities, such as taro pounding, lei making, bamboo stamping and nightly cliff diving ceremonies.

The St Regis Princeville Resort

Here, guests can participate in the luxurious ‘Aficionado Experiences’, one of which includes an exclusive helicopter tour of Niihau Island before landing on white sand for private snorkelling, swimming and gourmet lunch. This resort has also just introduced a new romantic dinner experience, where couples can dine privately together under the moonlight.
