Fairmont Orchid Resort
Fairmont Orchid sits on 32 oceanfront acres on the Kohala Coast of Hawaii Island, where a sheltered bay brings honu, the Hawaiian green sea turtles, within snorkelling distance of the sand. Open-air walkways, a spa built around oceanfront and waterfall huts, and beachfront dining keep the pace unhurried.
LUXURY ACCOMMODATIONS
Fairmont Orchid sits on 32 oceanfront acres on the Kohala Coast of Hawaii Island, where a sheltered bay brings honu, the Hawaiian green sea turtles, within snorkelling distance of the sand. Open-air walkways, a spa built around oceanfront and waterfall huts, and beachfront dining keep the pace unhurried.
The resort holds 540 guest rooms and suites and carries a AAA Four Diamond rating. It is large enough for a proper beach club, a tennis centre and a real choice of restaurants, while the layout keeps most of the activity away from the water's edge.
Why Fairmont Orchid stands apart
The Spa Without Walls is the signature. Treatments take place in open-sided hale, the Hawaiian word for hut, set either beside the ocean or next to a waterfall, rather than in a closed room. The other draw is the bay itself, calm enough for beginners and regularly visited by honu.
Who will feel at home here
Families who want a children's programme and a safe stretch of water. Couples who would rather have an oceanfront massage than a nightclub. Tennis players. Travellers who want the Kohala Coast without committing to the most formal end of the luxury scale.
The details that shape your stay
Family travel. The Keiki Aloha Adventure programme runs for children, and childcare can be arranged through the concierge. Evyssa will match room type, bedding and distance from the water to the ages travelling.
Spa and wellness. The Spa Without Walls uses oceanfront and waterfall hale alongside a fitness centre. The pools are open around the clock.
Dining. Brown's Beach House sits directly above the sand and is the signature room. Norio's covers Japanese food and sushi, the Luana Lounge handles sunset drinks, and Hale Kai and the deli cover casual daytime eating.
Tennis and the beach club. Ten courts, seven of them lit for evening play and one a stadium court, with a full pro shop. The Hui Holokai beach club programme runs stand-up paddle boarding, outrigger canoe trips and guided snorkelling.
Room categories, dining and programming change through the year. Evyssa will reconfirm every detail for your chosen room and dates before anything is booked.
