Four-Star Eco-Conscious Hawaiian Resort on 50 Acres of Tropical Gardens
It's hard to deny the mystical quality of the Hawaiian Islands’ black volcanic rock, cloud forests, and crashing waterfalls. In fact, early Hawaiians believed the forests, waves, and skies were spiritual beings that were to be treated with the utmost respect. At Hawaii Island Retreat at Ahu Pohaku Ho'omaluhia, innkeepers Jeanne Sunderland and Robert Watkins bring a similar reverence to their 50-acre patch of island paradise. Robert harvests organic vegetables, sunrise papaya, and avocados from the retreat’s own gardens to use in the kitchen, and Jeanne incorporates local kukui nuts and exotic oils into the onsite spa's holistic treatments.
Inside the breezy spa bungalows, therapists give traditional lomilomi massages to rhythmically loosen muscles and seaweed baths to stimulate metabolisms. You can also take a dip in the saltwater infinity pool or spend a few relaxing minutes in the hot tub, which is heated with solar hot-water panels.
In keeping with its eco-friendly efforts, the retreat uses solar panels and windmills to provide electricity for its ocean-view rooms. Bold red walls bring an exotic flair in the Crimson Royal Poinciana room, and a marigold palette brightens the Golden Penthouse room, where a lanai balcony opens onto views of the ocean.
North Kohala, Hawaii: Quiet Beachside Towns and Diverse Geography
On the northernmost tip of Hawaii's Big Island, North Kohala boasts black-sand beaches, dormant volcanoes, waterfalls, and cloud forests—tropical forests with ever-present fog. A scenic drive southeast of the hotel takes visitors through Pololu Valley, where they can watch waves crash from atop strikingly green bluffs. Zipline tours and horseback rides are also offered nearby. After guests explore North Kohala's landscape, nearby Keokea Beach and Mahukona Beach Park make for peaceful spots to gather seashells, head off on scuba trips, or recruit an army of hermit crabs.
Although North Kohala possesses the exotic allure Hawaii is known for, its small towns are a welcome respite from crowded tourist hot spots. In the tiny town of Kapaau, you can observe 19th-century architecture and the gilded Kamehameha I statue, built in the late 1800s to honor Hawaii's first and most beloved king (who was born in Kohala). Nearby, in the former sugar town of Hawi, handmade-jewelry stores, coffee shops, and art galleries have moved into the old plantation buildings.
