From distant mountains to dramatic ocean vistas, this tropical north shore escape has so many amazing views. Spread out across 22 acres of lush gardens, Hanalei Bay Resort shares a pristine stretch of sand with the neighboring St. Regis. It’s an easy five-minute walk to the beach – but first, stop by the poolside Activities Cave so staffers can arrange to have everyone’s kayaks or paddleboards ready for when you get down to the water. Tennis buffs of all ages will want to head for the 8-court Peter Burwash tennis facility for lessons, daily clinics, mixers, and more. Reward yourself for that impressive win with an afternoon at the waterfall-filled, lagoon-style pool overlooking the bay. And don’t miss the hot tub carved into the volcanic-rock grotto. Recover from the day’s adventures in your spacious vacation studio or one-bedroom. Both feature full kitchens with stainless steel appliances and granite countertops. Have the kids set the table on the lanai. You won’t hear a word of argument from anyone for suggesting dinner outside, where you can watch the sky turn 23 shades of pink and purple as the sun sets. It’s not too early to start planning the rest of your stay. The onsite concierge team is happy to assist with pineapple plantation trips, luaus, surf lessons, and more.
