With long stretches of white sandy beaches, warm turquoise waters, dramatic coastlines and lush scenery all around, Hawaii is a natural paradise, and it is no surprise that it is considered to be one of the most luxurious destinations in the world. From dining at the finest restaurants on the islands to exploring secret coves on a private boat cruise, these are some of Hawaii’s most luxurious activities.

Charter a Yacht
Chartering a luxury yacht for the day is a VIP experience like no other, and is an intimate way to explore the parts of Hawaii that you are most eager to see. Luxury charter yacht Drumbeat, provided by Charter World, is the ultimate in decadent boats and is one of the largest leisure crafts ever built, coming complete with en-suite cabins, a formal dining area, and a spacious, polished wood interior. One of the most popular private charter routes in Hawaii is across Kaneohe Bay, to see one of the most incredible sandbars in the world. Protected by a barrier reef, this is also a great spot for some snorkeling and swimming, making this activity one that you can spend the whole day enjoying. Most of the luxury yachts in Hawaii will come with full staffing on board, including a chef that will be able to whip up tasty treats for you and your guests throughout the day.

Luxury Spas
Hawaii has quite the history when it comes to healing, leading to a huge number of spas opening up around the island. The spa at the Mauna Lani Bay Hotel is one of the best in Hawaii, with its paths and facilities lined with real lava, while the Kona Village Resort spa offers outdoor oceanfront treatment huts and an old-Hawaii atmosphere. Spa Grande at the Grand Wailea Resort is absolutely massive, and sprawls out across 50,000 square feet, while SpaHalekulani specializes in Polynesian treatments, which is always worth trying when in Hawaii.

Fine Dining
Hawaii’s gorgeous scenery also makes for extremely fertile land, on which locals grow a wide range of fresh, organic, non-GMO produce, providing all of the necessary components for some truly indulgent fine dining experiences. Alan Wong’s, which can be found just outside of Waikiki, was one of the early pioneers of the farm to table movement, and his restaurant makes full use of these native ingredients, mixing them with Asian flavors to produce a harmonious five-course menu. La Mer is another one of Hawaii’s most popular fine dining restaurants, with its strict dress code, requesting jackets and evening attire, already lending it quite the formal ambiance. The cuisine is Hawaiian, but the culinary techniques used are classically French, resulting in exquisite dishes just steps away from the beach.

If you are trying to decide where to go the next time you want to really treat yourself, you will not go wrong by picking Hawaii, which offers up such a fantastic range of luxury activities. In addition to the ones mentioned above, Hawaii is also home to some magnificent luxury resorts that you can stay at, offering everything from private beaches to individual gardens, adding another element of decadence to your visit.
