An Insider's Take
'This oceanfront paradise sits on 32 acres of ancient lava rock coastline, where Hawaiian royalty once gathered and green sea turtles still call home.'
What's Special?
The Fairmont Orchid is built on sacred Hawaiian grounds along the Kohala Coast's "Gold Coast," featuring a unique sandy beach lagoon carved from natural lava rock. The resort houses one of Hawaii's most comprehensive cultural programs and sits adjacent to ancient petroglyphs and fishponds dating back over 700 years.
WhatAHotel! Pro-Tip: Book treatments at the Spa Without Walls before 10 AM - you'll have oceanfront cabanas mostly to yourself and often spot Hawaiian green sea turtles basking on the rocks below.
Don't Miss
The complimentary guided snorkeling at Pauoa Bay, home to vibrant coral reefs and tropical fish just steps from your room. Also explore the resort's historic walking trail featuring authentic Hawaiian petroglyphs and learn about the area's significance to Polynesian navigation.
