14 Relaxing Vacations to Dream About for Your Next Trip

"Known as the 'Garden Island', this island offers empty beaches such as Lumahai Beach and dramatic landscapes like the vast Waimea Canyon State Park. Visitors can book a sunset cruise of the Nāpali Coast with local operators like Holo Holo Charters to appreciate the geology from the water. Family-friendly resorts such as Koloa Landing provide sprawling grounds and spacious rooms and suites suitable for entire families." - Andrea Romano Andrea Romano Andrea Romano is a writer and editor in New York City.
