"Perched on cliffs with postcard views of Hanalei Bay, this luxury-and-wellness-forward retreat still caters beautifully to families, with a sprawling main pool lined with full-service cabanas and chaise loungers and a shallow pool for littles, plus an adults-only infinity pool and hot tub on the eighth floor for when you can sneak away. Puʻu Poa Beach sits just below for snorkeling, stand-up paddleboarding, and swimming, and the hotel layers on adventures like outrigger canoe tours, pickleball lessons, and guided hikes—the nearby Wai Koa Loop Trail, with its mahogany forest and stone dam, is a kid-pleaser. What truly sets this place apart is Seedlings Aloha Camp, a reservation-required program Monday through Saturday for ages 5 to 12 that teaches nature and sustainability through gardening, tide-pool explorations, and making art from upcycled beach trash." - Catherine Toth Fox
