The Kahala Hotel & Resort is just about as good as it gets. Where else will your butler bring you a chilled towel? Where else can you swim with the dolphins without ever leaving the hotel?
EXPERIENCE
It seems so obvious now, predestined, as it were, since Day One. It took millennia, but we finally did it. Humanity finally invented the Beach Butler.
The Kahala Hotel & Resort could well be Hawaii's most luxurious resort, even if we forget the beach butlers for a moment. Personal spa suites are the size of the average hotel room, and dozens of treatments are on offer. Memory-foam beds with Frette linens make most beds seem downright barbaric. And then there's the showstopper: a private lagoon populated by dolphins.
There are five restaurants on site, including the award-winning Hoku's, which serves contemporary Hawaiian fare. Sushi lovers should also try Tokyo-Tokyo, which serves authentic Japanese in a traditional tea room setting.
Popular activities include the full range of water sports - parasailing, whale watching, and the like - along with golf, tennis, and hiking. There are also complimentary classes in Hawaiian culture: hula, lei making, and ukulele.
