Behind you, lush tropical rainforest. In front of you, the warm, tropical waters of the Pacific. And all that stands between you and the ocean is a glorious Par 5. This is life at The Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua, one of Hawaii's premiere golf resorts.
With two incredible championship golf courses situated on a pineapple plantation, you can be forgiven for spending all your time on the links. But the sprawling outdoor pools are a tempting place to do absolutely nothing for a few hours. The three glorious beaches at the resort offer golden sand and incredible snorkeling. And the 17,500 sq. ft. spa has an outdoor treatment area where you can bask in a couples' massage in the shade of palm trees.
The rooms here are elegantly furnished, with decor fitting with island life. All feature over-size bathrooms, LCD flat-screen TVs, and a view that will knock your sandals off. And, come sunset, there aren't many better places to be than the outdoor terrace at the hotel's award-winning restaurant.
